Supporting Steve's idea, I think there's a fair chance it was the original art used to make something else. What the something else might be I don't know-- could be cabinet cards, postcards, a publication picture, banquet program. If the photo includes original hand drawn design and text, that would support the original art theory. And original art composites were often oversized.
