Where’d You Spend the Night, Jubilo?
by W.H.D. Koerner (American, born in Germany, 1878-1938)
This painting illustrated a story by Ben Williams in the June
28, 1919, issue of the Saturday Evening Post. It told the story of
a Hispanic eld hand suspected of sleeping with the wife of a
farmer. The painting that illustrated it, exhibited here, depicts
Jubilo being questioned by the sheriff and his deputies, with
the farmer standing behind Jubilo and the wife on the porch.
The painting is the work of W.H.D. Koerner, a renowned
master illustrator of the American West. Koerner ranked with
Remington and Russell among western painters and his work
illustrated stories and covers of all the major magazines of the
1920s and 30s.
