Red K Products presents: Vintage 1972 Saturday Evening Post "St. Bernard for Sale" Lithograph - A Heartwarming Piece of Americana!

Step back in time to the Golden Age of Illustration with this evocative vintage print, a 1972 reproduction of Angus MacDonall's famous Saturday Evening Post cover. Originally published on October 8, 1921, this artwork—often titled "St. Bernard for Sale" or "Puppy Love"—captures a poignant moment of childhood loyalty and loss that has resonated with audiences for over a century. Produced by the renowned Donald Art Company (DAC) of New York during the 1970s nostalgia boom, this high-quality lithograph features the signature textured "brushstroke" finish that defines the era's best decor. The image depicts a young boy weeping as he offers his beloved St. Bernard companion for sale, a timeless scene that bridges the gap between the Roaring Twenties and the sentimental style of the 1970s. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a specific piece of commercial art history that celebrates the bond between humans and their dogs.

Perfect for:

  • Dog Lovers: Specifically owners of St. Bernards or large breeds who understand the deep bond depicted in the art.
  • Americana Collectors: Enthusiasts of The Saturday Evening Post, Angus MacDonall, or the "Golden Age" of American illustration.
  • Vintage Decorators: Those looking for authentic 1970s wall decor to complete a "Grandmillennial" or retro-inspired room.
  • Art History Buffs: Collectors interested in the Donald Art Company's 1972 series and mass-market lithography history.

Condition: This is a vintage item in Good to Very Good condition for its age (c. 1972). The colors remain distinct, capturing the somber yet warm palette of MacDonall's original oil painting. The "brushstroke" texture is visible, and the copyright information ("© 1972 Curtis Publishing Co / Published by Donald Art Co. Inc., NY") is clearly legible along the bottom margin, authenticating its provenance. As with many prints from this era, there may be slight signs of age consistent with a 50-year-old paper item, but it remains a presentable and deeply touching display piece.

Here's the list of contents:

  • Vintage Lithograph: One (1) unmounted 1972 Donald Art Company print of "St. Bernard for Sale" by Angus MacDonall.
