    There was no identifying data at the site where I found the picture, but I'm sure I've seen this elsewhere in the past. Perhaps some Googling would turn up an answer. (Also, I think there is now a picture-search site where you insert a picture and it searches the web for other publications of the same or similar pictures; I have no experience with doing that.)
