Huang Li (Chinese, B. 1941) "Mount Huangshan" Original Watercolor. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Mint Stamps of the World Collectors Panel for the China Mount Huangshan stamp issue of October 20, 1997. Extending across four counties, Shexian, Yixian, Taiping and Xining, Mount Huangshan (Yellow Mountains) is located in the southern part of China's Anhui Province. Known as Yishan during the Qin Dynasty (211-207 B.C.), the Yellow Mountains received its present name in 747 A.D. when Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was inspired to write his famous poem Seeing off Hermit Wen Back to Former Residence White Goose Peak in the Yellow Mountains. These are some of his beautiful lines: "Thousands of feet high towers the Yellow Mountains, With its thirty-two magnificent peaks, Blooming like golden lotus flowers, Amidst red crags and rock columns. Once I was on its lofty summit, Admiring Tianmu Pine below. Many a stream and many a ford, Peaks upon peaks shutting out the sky, That's where I'll call on you some other day, Across a bridge that spans cliffs like a rainbow." Size: 20.25 x 15.5 in. Unframed.
