LISTEN Signed Scottish Terrier Framed Etching MORGAN DENNIS- The Texas Company

A lovely vintage framed etching by New York artist Morgan Dennis (1892–1960) best known for his charismatic drawings, etchings, and paintings of dogs.

The illustration features two attentive ⁠Scottish Terriers tilting their heads. The original 1925 etching was actually titled "When Do We Eat?"

In the 1930s, The Texas Company (Texaco) bought the rights to the artwork for a national advertising campaign. The block text "LISTEN" was added below the dogs to encourage motorists to listen to the smooth sound of their cars running on Texaco oil and gasoline.

The piece is professionally framed and mounted under glass. The frame is balck painted wood. It is mounted over an olive colored textured paper that nicely compliments the work.
