ILLUSTRATED ADVERTISING POSTER. This famous color lithograph of Frank Schoonover (1877-1972) painting of “Tex” on his horse, Patches, measures 30" x 19" in 41" x 28" frame. Schoonover in an interview relating to his most famous painting: “put a badge into the picture- artistic license”. Tex Randerson, was a ranch foreman and was considered one of the finest long-distance riders of his time. When Tex had a particularly hard section to ride, he always picked Patches, a rawboned surefooted cause. It was said "Patches was almost human when it was necessary to get back to camp on a dark night… Tex and Patches just naturally made pictures when they were together and it was always fine to see them on some little butte, horse and rider outlined against the sky". Not only was this 1925 Schoonover painting his most popular, he painted several versions, including this one utilized by Colt in 1926. Though not rare, this poster is quite scarce in fine, original condition w/ bright colors like this example. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: authenticity & guarantee letter from an earlier offering. CONDITION: very good to fine overall, a couple tiny chips & a flattened crease w/ bright original colors, not removed from frame for further examination. PROVENANCE: Vicente Sepulveda collection. (02-13628/JS). $2,500-5,000.
