Label TextBorn in Chicago, Rico Tomaso illustrated a broad range of popular literature, especially in The Saturday Evening Post. Judging by the uniforms and weaponry in the group descending the stairs, this may have been an illustration for a series of stories about the South Australian Mounted Police, written by Albert Richard Wetjen.
