Just throwing out any that I find to show that it is not a unique image of Wagner, though it certainly isn't one of the more-well-known shots of him.
One more, from a 1917 birthday program Mastro auctioned in 2008:

Oh, I know Lance. I was just thinking out loud. It just seems like so many of these type pieces are just copied directly from the most recent auction of that particular item.
I'm not comfortable with it myself. Just wondering where exactly they might have copied the scan from given the cropping shown.
