Vintage linen postcard featuring a playful pinup cowgirl and rodeo scene, from the C.T. Dude Ranch Comics series by Curt Teich & Co., Chicago, numbered C-197. Produced in the early 1940s, this postcard showcases the vibrant humor and artistry typical of Curt Teich’s “C.T. Art-Colortone” process, known for its rich colors and distinctive linen texture.The illustration depicts a confident cowgirl in a green dress and red scarf captivating two handsome cowboys, one in a white hat and one in red, as they chat near a rodeo arena. Other cowhands look on in amusement. The clever verse printed below reads:“The western lads can throw the bullAnd rope a charging steer,But they leave their saddles emptyWhene’er the girls appear.”This design captures the flirty humor and lighthearted energy of the WWII-era pinup style, combining the Western frontier spirit with classic Curt Teich cheekiness. The bright colors and smooth composition exemplify why linen postcards became a defining feature of mid-20th-century Americana.Details:Title: “Whene’er the Girls Appear”Subject: Pinup cowgirl, cowboys, rodeo humorSeries: C.T.
