Need help finding the source of this wonderful photo

Post by Dave Detwiler »

Can any of you help me in locating the photo below, of Sousa's 1925-26 bass section? I stumbled upon it somewhere along the line, but failed to note the source. I would love to include it in an upcoming article I am writing for the ITEA Journal on "Sousaphone Milestones in Sousa's Incredible Band." Thanks so much!
