Hi Barry,
As far as I know, the image is an early Victorian photograph, and not copyrighted. I found it via tumblr, I believe, but you could probably find a higher res version and maybe even provenance, especially if you use Tin Eye. They have a wonderful reverse search engine for mysterious images. Good luck and thanks for asking!

question: is the photo of the bunny and the hedgehog copyrighted? If not, do you have a high-resolution of it? I would like to use it in an Oktoberfest invite I am working on. thank you. Barry

To Ulrich:
When I talk about Black Forest, I am not referring to a specific geographical region
(and though I’ve not yet visited the Schwarzwald, one day I would love to!)
for me, it refers to the magical forest where all fairytales take place-
especially the darkest ones!. Black Forest fashion and style
takes inspiration from traditional folk costume, storybook illustrations,
the animal kingdom, and fantastical dreams.
The carvings, antiques and art from Black Forest hunting lodges
are also something I collect and take reference from.
Thank you for your query- it was fun to sit down and define
exactly where that notion comes from!

Why is this called Black Forest fashion? Have you ever been here at the black forest?

I’d love to stop by if I can. Directions, please? I believe my e-mail is available via this comment, or, if not, it’s on my vintagehandbag journal over on LJ.
