Unknown print copyrighted by Morris & Bendien

I have a print that I have been unable to find any information on. It is of a small child peeking from a blanket. The print is labeled "GOOD MORNING" and is signed by the artist, but I can not make out the artist's name. In the left corner it says: Copyright MORRIS & BENDIEN, NEW YORK. Any idea who the artist is?? It seems to almost be done in pastels or... ? The detail is wonderful.

I can't tell you who is responsipble for your print, but I recently acquired my own, and am looking for any information on it as well. It is entitled HEAVEN SPARE ME FOR TEN MORE YEARS. It pictures three women in profile, each in "period" dress with the dates 1891,1901 and 1911 respectfully, with a well dressed, hefty, balding man in spats only slightly in the background. It was a "find" in my grandfathers barn. My family thinks it must be from sometime in the early part of the 20th Century, obviously the earliest date 1911. The gentleman who gently restored and framed it suspects that it is of some value. I am going to continue my research and will share with you what I learn and would love to hear from you if you find anything interesting to share in turn. Happy hunting. My print is really fabulous.
