…The Indians are bringing CORN to the settlers….

The 3 above are obviously 3 variations of the same scene — the 4th one below has horses & a wagon instead of canoes… these are dated 1968-69, and were probably for another American Maize Products Calendar (like the one below)!

A *VERY SPECIAL* BERKEY

The Missing May Page from the 1962 WATER Calendar!

John Berkey’s painting of his Mom

water05web

When John’s sister Janice copied the 1962 WATER Calendar for me, the May page was “missing” — years ago she had removed it, trimmed off the bottom part of the calendar, and she framed it and hung it on her wall… and then she remembered that it came from the WATER Calendar and her daughter Patty photographed it for me — It’s a little sun-faded and the green grass & trees have turned a little bluish, but here it is — John Berkey’s painting of his Mom hanging up clothes in the backyard of his parents house in Excelsior!

Albert Einstein’s Desk

deskeinstein
Albert Einstein worked at Princeton when he died on April 18, 1955 — below is Berkey’s painting of Einstein’s Princeton desk and office — Berkey started doing art for Brown & Bigelow in 1955…
bb6web

BELOW is a photo of Einstein’s desk when he died — Berkey obviously added the famous E=mc2 equation and a few other things onto his painting of the blackboard, and shifted certain items around, but the pipe and the tobacco humidor and glass vial are still in the painting…
