anybody know the source of this picture?

The guy looks a bit like Karl Valentin, an actor and comedian from Bavaria. He wore a tophat in just every picture i have ever seen, but he died in 1948...

The more likely background could be a Schornsteinfeger? a chimney sweep? They also wear tophats as part of their uniform.
It used to be a thing for chimney sweeps to grab a pretty girl and place a hand print on them, for good luck....

doesn't she have to rub his buttons? Wink

incidentally in old scots a top hat is called a lum hat - lum means chimney as in the saying 'lang may yer lum reek'

We still have this service available in our town, where a local chimney sweep, resplendent in hat & tails will come to weddings: In Great Britain it is considered lucky for a bride to see a chimney sweep on her wedding day. Andy is available to appear on the wedding day and greet the bride and groom. They will be presented with a 'lucky' charm and get opportunity for photographs.
