    I believe this is a picture, poster or print copyright 1904 by James Arthur (1855 Canada -1912 Detroit, MI) who was noted for his images used in calenders specifically for Brown & Bigalow.

    Thanx fig. I really didn't think I'd find anything. On a whim I used Reversee, iPad image search app, when up came other images of this pic.

    I don't recall it... I must have been away for a while, or maybe it was a very long time ago? Looks like a commonly reproduced image, a genre type of photo.
