| 12571 | United States Stamp - Jack London - Issued January 11, 1988 |

|
| Postage Stamp Title: Jack London Scott Cat. Number: 2182 Subject: London - John Griffith London (1876-1916) Design: Richard Sparks of Norwalk, Connecticut, under the direction of Howard Paine, a design coordinator for the Citizens’ Advisory Committee. Artist – vignette: Sharpe - Jim Sharpe (1936-2005) Typographer: Bradbury Thompson Engraver - vignette: Hipschen – Thomas R. Hipschen (1950-) Engraver – lettering and numerals: Dennis Brown Media: Intaglio Printer: Bureau of Engraving and Printing Color: Blue Size: 18.03 mm x 20.82 mm Country: United States Postage Value: 25 cents Issue Series: 27th in the Great American Series Issue Origin: Jack London’s 110th birthday Issue Date: January 11, 1988 Issue Location: Glen Ellen, California – location of London’s Wolf House estate, now the Jack London State Historic Park. Issue Size: 59,850,000 Richard Sparks based his design on a photograph of London taken in 1914 by the author’s wife, Charmian. Kittredge – Charmian (Kittredge) London (1871-1955) See: "The Engraver’s Line: An Encyclopedia of Paper Money & Postage Stamp Art" by Gene Hessler, BNR Press, Port Clinton, Ohio, 1993. Page 4 and 5 explain the production steps taken to turn original art into an engraved postage stamp. Worth reading as the engraver works from the beginning on a plate of about 3.5” x 4,” engraving a stamp at its finished size. Engraving is used for very few stamps today and, when one reads about the process, one can understand why. The author even provides particular engraver’s recipes for the acid they used, including that of James Smillie, the famous landscape engraver. Smillie - James Smillie (1807-1885). |

| “This vessel was built as a U. S. Navy hospital ship, “The Comfort,” and served in the Pacific during World War II and later served as a U. S. Army transport to bring the troops back home. Reportedly the nurses’ lounge of the vessel had once been hit by a kamikaze in Okinawa. When the Maine Maritime Academy Students went to sea in her as “The State of Maine,” the three padded cells in the former psycho ward of the hospital ship, were still in place. Philip Rich [Philip Clifton Rich (1941-)], who attended the Academy from 1959-1962, bunked in the former isolation ward, which held only five or six cadets, during his junior year and remembers that the plumbing fixtures of the former psycho ward had levers, not regular handles. They used the padded cells on the second deck as storages closets to supplement the cadets’ small storage lockers.” – Meredith Hutchins 01/25/12 |

| 3474 | Obituary for Chester E. Clement |
|
|
|
| Southwest Hbr. Boat Builder Died Saturday Chester E. Clement of Southwest Harbor, aged about sixty, died at the Mount Desert hospital at Bar Harbor late Saturday afternoon from the effects of an automobile accident which occurred soon after five o'clock Thursday. Mr. Clement started to overtake the mail with an important message, driving a light small truck when he had been accustomed to a heavy car. At a rough place in the road near Echo Lake the car left the road, turned over several times and struck one of the great boulders among the trees. Fortunately, the lights did not go out and the motor was running. Two young men, passing not long after the accident, saw the lights, investigated and found Mr. Clement lying on the ground with badly torn clothing and unconscious. His face was so covered with blood that they did not recognize him, but one remained with him while the other went to call Dr. George A. Neal from Southwest Harbor and also aid from a garage. He was taken to the hospital where it was found that he had ten broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises besides head injuries. He seemed better Saturday but died suddenly from internal injuries. Mr. Clement's skill as a boat builder and machinist was widely known and he had built many fine craft in his shop here where he employed eight or ten men. Two boats are at present in the shop; one nearly completed and the other not far along. |

It was Maine writer Ruth Moore who first imagined the dog's bark, as she sifted through the sand and sod on her native Great Gott Island, pausing later to reflect on the island's history in her poem, "The Indian Shell Heap": |
