USA Poster Stamp - 1912, NY Electrical Exposition - Type 2 - Artist F.G.Cooper

Description: [zipedit] USAEvent Publicity Poster Stamp The Electrical Exposition of 1912 was held at the Grand Central Palace in New York, from October 9 - 19, 1912. There was a set of 6 different poster stamps issued for the event. 5 of them are signed with the monogram "fgc" which was for Frederick Goss Cooper, one of America's foremost graphic artists of the early to mid 20th century. (And the sixth stamp in the set is most likely by Cooper as well - the style is very similar to the others). According to original-political-cartoon.com: COOPER, FRED G (1883-1962) Fred G. Cooper studied at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute in San Francisco. He moved to New York City in 1904 to find work as a freelance artist. He created designs for New York Edison, Westinghouse, and the U.S. War Department, among many others. Cooper began an association with Life magazine in 1904, which lasted until the early 1930s, when he served as the art director. His First World War posters won high praise for their use of all lower-case hand lettering whose warmth and character obviated the need for additional illustration. Cooper was the original “clip art” cartoonist whose style influenced all the others in the field. He also designed dozens of clever monograms for people like Rube Goldberg, Milton Caniff and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Cooper also drew small spot cartoons, ‘cartoonettes’ as he called them, which were often little graphic masterpieces. He also contributed covers and full-page interior cartoons and illustrations. This is a single stamp from the set, and it depicts a man holding an electric motor on his shoulder. This stamp is listed in "A General Illustrated Catalogue of Exhibition and Event Poster Stamps to 1914" compiled by Stewart Gardiner and Steve Greiczek, as Type 2, on page 615. This example is F/VF, OG, NH. Approximate Image Size: 32 x 43 mm. * STOCK IMAGE DUE TO RECENT NON-DELIVERY CLAIMS - EXTRA FEES FOR SHIPPING MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME ADDRESSES.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. * A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
