Update...

These were purchased from the man who had originally commissioned them back in 1939.

The artwork is actually by former major leaguer Frank Demaree. He also did the artwork for the R304 Demaree die cuts as well as the bodies on the 1938 Goudey Heads Up. So this is an original work by him.
