- Postcard (sepia, divided back, 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches) titled – Cowboy Fun. This postcard features original artwork by L. H. “Dude” Larsen depicting 3 cowboys and their dog in the desert with a poem printed at the bottom. Lewis H. Larsen was born in 1909 in Richardson, Utah. In the late 30’s he and his wife, Dorothy, began in the business of using his artwork for postcards. The Larsen’s owned a Trading Post, Hotel and Cafe in Kenab, Utah where they produced the artwork for their growing business. Certainly inspired by his upbringing, Dude depicted ranch life and beautiful vast landscapes in his paintings. Some of the postcard images are also from paintings produced by Dorothy or as signed on many of her illustrations “Dot”. L.H. Larsen was a Cowboy, Rancher, Businessman and Politician. In his obituary, it also indicates he was the Republican Chair and City and County Attorney. In 1949, Lewis H. Larsen became a Utah State Senator. Text on revere: Taken from an original oil painting by the noted cowboy artist and poet, L. H. “Dude” Larsen. He was born a cowboy and knows cows, cowponies and cowboys from A to Z. COWBOY FUN – This cayuse is an outlaw, Mean, treacherous as can be. This cowboy tried to ride him, What happened you can see. Cowboys all love excitement, With a life so free and gay. It’s just one round of pleasure, Such as you see today. Card no. 8
