Lon Megargee's 'Saturday Night' Lithograph Print

This is a framed lithographic print titled 'Saturday Night' by the renowned Arizona artist Lon Megargee (1883-1960). The artwork depicts a humorous, iconic scene of a cowboy bathing in a clawfoot tub while still wearing his Stetson hat, being observed through a window by his horse. The color palette consists of muted earth tones, dusty teals, and sepia shades, characteristic of mid-20th-century printing processes. The scene includes various Western motifs such as a pair of spurs on the floor, a bandolier draped over a chair, and a high-back wooden chair. The signature 'LON MEGARGEE' is visible in the lower right corner, though several versions of this print were produced for the A-1 Brewing Company of Phoenix in the 1940s and 1950s. The print is housed behind glass in a wooden frame with a carved bamboo-style aesthetic. Condition-wise, the piece shows significant signs of age-related wear; there is visible foxing, water staining along the upper edge, and minor surface abrasions (scuffing) on the right side of the image. The paper appears to have yellowed, indicating exposure to light or non-archival mounting materials. This piece is a notable example of 'Cowboy Humour' art and represents a popularized version of Megargee's work used extensively in regional Southwestern advertising.
