I don't have the store display of this image shown. However, I do have a period postcard (1911) of the image that was put out by the Mexican National Phonograph Co..
There was also an HMV version of cardboard print offered to dealers (no glass). This one dates from the 1950's (there are earlier versions).
They were just a cheap form of dealer decoration that is very collectible today. Naturally, condition is very important. If I'm not mistaken, this form of imitation oil painting print is called an 'Oilette'(sp).
