    No marks at all and the only other example of this I can find is an Alamy picture suggesting it dates from circa 1900 and possibly Germany.

    That date sounds about right, this was used a great deal as a decorative motif around the late 19th to early 20th. Coincided with the early SF film whose name escapes me. Super thing.

    Got it. Trip to the Moon, George Melies.
