Story illustration for “Benny and her Familee” by Kennett Harris for The Saturday Evening Post, published January 10, 1920, illustrated page 11.
This western scene captures a moment of escalating tension as a cowboy, Benny, fixes a menacing glare upon an older man seated with a woman in a horse-drawn carriage. The original caption sets the scene for the confrontation: “Benny stopped short in his tracks and looked at him — looked at him like I don’t want nobody to look at me. ‘I reckon you know why,’ he says.”
