- Lot Description
Chuck Ripper (American, B. 1929) "American Bald Eagle Perched on Branch" Signed lower right. Original Gouache painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the United Nations Endangered Species Series 32c American Bald Eagle stamp issued March 24, 1995.
At a distance this stately eagle appears to be bald. Closer inspection, however, reveals that its head and neck are actually clothed in snowy white plumage -- a handsome contrast with its dark brown body and wing feathers. Many years ago, the Bald Eagle's flight plumes were sought after by Native Americans who used them to adorn their magnificent headdresses. Although this eagle was then plentiful throughout North America, several decades ago its numbers began to decline, despite the passage of America's National Emblem Law of 1940, prohibiting the killing of these precious creatures. In 1973, in fact, there were fewer than 500 breeding pairs of Bald Eagles left -- a far cry from the many thousands that filled American skies during the 1800s. In addition to hunting, the recent decline has also been attributed to the use of toxic chemicals, particularly those formulated for agricultural pesticides. Currently there is a ban on the international trade of these eagles and the only live specimens that can be imported into the U.S. are those which have been bred in captivity in European or Canadian zoos for the purpose of replenishing America's wild eagle stock. Pesticides such as DDT have been banned as well. Fortunately such conservation measures have begun to prove successful. The results of a 1994 census of Bald Eagles concluded that their numbers had risen sufficiently to remove the species from the "endangered" list and place it under the less precarious category of "threatened."
