Oscar Berninghaus was a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists, spending a part of each year in Taos from 1900 to 1925 when he settled there permanently. He first traveled there in 1898 on assignment for the Denver and Rio Grande railroad to complete a series of paintings for use in a travel brochure. With that first trip, Berninghaus developed a fascination for the land and people of Northern New Mexico. His depictions of Taos and its surroundings formed the greatest part of his artistic output from his first visit until his death at age 77 in 1952. (Image1) (Image2)

THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS ESSAY PRINTED ON THE REVERSE OF A 1¢ 1902 MCKINLEY POSTAL CARD.

Reference: Postal Stationery, Sept.-Oct. 1975, and The America Revenuer, June 1975, pp.173-178.

Under the 1862 Revenue Act, a stamp was required to be affixed to each bottle or box of a proprietary medicine. In 1865, Dr. Schenck directed the firm of Butler & Carpenter to engrave two private dies: 1¢ green (RS212) and 6¢ black (RS213). The original die was altered later with an "X" to be used for fascimile labels by Dr. Schenck after the tax was repealed in 1883. This essay was pulled from the original die after the "X" was burnished out in an attempt to reuse the die for a new fascimile label. The long gap from 1883 to 1902 can be explained as the 1898 Spanish-American War tax was instituted in 1898 for three years, when precancelled Dr. Schenck's battleship revenue stamps were used. After repeal on July 1, 1901, the firm must have requested a new fascimile label be produced. (Image1) (Image2) (Image3) (Image4)
