But notice the Q/A section:
Q: Hello--How old is this photo ? Is it a copy of the original one ? How old is the antique frame ? Can you show a picture of the frame ? Thank you--Jerry-- Feb-23-13
A: Hi Jerry, I going to post the pictures of the frame right after this message. I can tell you its not a new photo, its not a magazine or book picture, its a photo. I would say its a photo of the original. The frame has to be 75 years old, give or take a few. I will post your questions. Thanks Charlie
Q: My understanding is that the original of this was photographed by R.W. Johnston Studios. I question how it got on another photographer's cabinet card. Could it have come from a magazine and gotten glued onto this card? Bob I have an original. Feb-23-13
A: Hi, Thanks for the info on the original. This is definitely not from a magazine or something from a book. Its photo paper, dull photo paper. It has to be a photo of the original, as the writing is in the picture. I hope you don't mind, but I will post this to the auction. Thanks Charlie
Then just in the closing hours...i found this one (reporductions)
that look similar, but without the writing/signature:
