Featured Parrish era print with saying...who is the artist?

I picked this up in a box of old framed prints and I can't find out who the artist is. It's the same style as Parrish, but I don't think it's him.

This image was popular because you see them listed here and there, but no one lists the name.

 

Looks like there's printing in the lower right. What does it say? There frequently is printer info somewhere along the bottom. I call stuff like this a motto print. There were lots of makers. Buzza was one of the best known. Definitely not Parrish. Maybe his period, but not his style. So far as I know, most of these didn't have titles. But it's good if you can identify the artist or the writer of the quote. I like this and it looks to be in very good condition. Not sure as I agree with the quote.

 

Online says Taber Prang printed this. According to Wikipedia, the company lasted from 1897 to 1938 (there's a stub on Louis Prang).

One dealer calls this "Riches" (and wants $125 framed).

There's a WorthPoint entry that says 1904. I don't know how reliable that is.

 

The quote is cited in Robert Christy's Proverbs, Maxims and Phrases of All Ages (1887)

Riches are always restless; it is only to poverty the gods give content. Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine.

I found the Taber Prang as producer info, but it still doesn't say who the artist was. The person selling the frames (I buy in bulk for my own paintings) said it was Parrish, but I used to have a lot of Parrish so I knew it wasn't. Stumped. I'll probably have to take mine out of the frame to see what the fine print says. I've had it for at least ten years and just got curious.

 

I looked for a while yesterday and didn't find anything that said who the artist was. This style looks very familiar to me but it probably is just a common style for this type of print.

 

For the number of prints that are out there, I think someone would have named the artist if the info was on the print. I'd have to say not worth taking it out of the frame for that reason.

Taber and Prang sales catalogs do exist, but the only one I found online (Smithsonian) didn't include this print.

 

We're doing a massive overhaul in the house. We figured as long as we were packing up Christmas stuff, we might as well look and see what we have that hasn't been displayed in awhile and swap out some artwork. By "we" I mean my son and I. Hubby could live in a room with a cot, his recliner, a small fridge for his Mountain Dew and the TV and remote.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I've been interested in these prints for a while (my grandmother had this one on her wall when I was a boy). As far as I can tell, there were 16 prints all done in a similar style. I've never found the name of a particular artist (though this auction site mentions that one was signed "Howe" http://www.nealauction.com/archive/0209/lot/lottext/401-500.shtml), but I've managed to collect them all in an album - though the image quality is poor in a few cases. The quote in yours is actually from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1873 novel "The Parisians" which was serialized in Blackwood’s magazine in 1872.

The catalogue is a nice find!

(for anyone concerned about tinyurl -- this one goes to a photos.google.com account that is exactly as described)

 

Nice grouping of prints!

This one does show a copyright date of 1904
