This is an original 1924 black and white line cut titled "Buy A Fine Singing Bird" designed and drawn by H. M. (Henry Matthew) Brock:

"The round-eyed pleasure of a child, by song of tuneful birds beguiled,

Does not exceed a man's delight when Johnnie Walker comes in sight."

Brock (1875 - 1960) was a British-born landscape artist and illustrator who illustrated Charles Dickens' Great Expectations and did color plates for Dickens' 1935 publication of A Christmas Carol.
