To the best of my knowledge, this was originally an advertisement from a magazine which someone made into a cardboard display piece within the last 30 years. I do not think this was done to deceive but rather to make a nice display in the 1970's or early 1980's. All the ones I have seen of this piece have been as such, and I have seen the original ad in a magazine (might have been National Geographic) and it was much smaller which is why Lajoie looks really grainy in your piece after he was enlarged.

Do not take this opinion as gospel because I am not looking at the piece and so I can not make a 100% accurate opinion, but I have seen several of these over the years and they were all modern in their production.
