A copy of "California Hackamore" can be found on our Books pages.... |
"Odds Against Him" By Al Martin Napoletano Circa 1948 A large print made especially for Luis Ortega in order to promote his book "California Hackamore". The drawing appears on page 68. This print is 15 1/4" x 20 3/4" in a larger mat and frame. The subject is comical (if you're not the one working with the colt)-the cat has jumped up on the rail which has caused a chain reaction from dog to horse, and ultimately the cowboy. He is trying to defuse the situation with his hat, hoping to knock the cat off the rail, while trying to keep control of the colt. Best of luck! Hand-signed by Napoletano in pencil, lower right corner.

Texas Guinan Original Stone Lithograph Circa: 1920 Mary Louise Cecilia "Texas" Guinan was born in Waco, Texas, 1884. As a young girl, she dreamed of being a performer, and as soon as she was old enough, headed to New York where she began a career as a Broadway singer. Her big break came with the introduction of movie making. Her initial film "The Wildcat" introduced her as America's first movie cowgirl. She was soon a pistol packing Queen of the West and she went on to star in several films, including two sound pictures, one in which she played a slightly fictionalized version of herself as a speakeasy proprietress. Texas also left her mark as an entrepreneur, opening up speakeasy clubs during prohibition (one named the Del Fey), which included hostesses who did more than just serve drinks. She denied she ever providing pornographic entertainment, and when accused of serving alchol, claimed that she was just serving mixers, and could she help it if her patrons brought in flasks? Texas contributed a number of phrases to the popular vernacular, such as "Butter and Egg men" referring to well-heeled customers. She always asked that her patrons "Give the little lady a great big hand." She traditionally greeted her customers with "Hello, suckers!" When the Great Depression bit into her profits, Texas took her show on the road, complete with fan dancers. While on tour in Vancouver, British Columbia, she contracted amoebic dysentery and passed away at age 49. Twelve thousand attended her funereal procession in Manhattan. One month to the day after her death, prohibition was repealed. Interestingly, Mae West's persona was based on her friend Texas Guinan; George Raft had originally wanted to cast Texas in Mae West's catapulting role - had that happened, the world would know Texas Guinan instead of Mae West. The movie Splendor in the Grass is based on Texas, and "All That Jazz" from "Chicago" is thought to be a tribute to her. She must have been quite a gal..... Price: $6,500.00 |
