This is the 1944 "The Cowboy Builds a Loop" portfolio from the fine art estate of Lon Megargee.
It contains 16 images chosen from his 1933 original book "The Cowboy
Builds a Loop", which contains 28 plates and poems. The 1944 portfolio was created as
an extension of the book which was no longer available. The prints were likely done on

a letter set press using the images from the 1933 book and are not the original block prints,

which are larger. I don't know how many of the 1944 portfolios were made, but I don't feel

that they were produced in large numbers as would be done today. The foreword is written

by Oren Arnold, novelist, journalist, and humorist, 1900-1980. Paper size is 12 x 8.75 inches,

images vary within that size
