    Google seems to think it's from The Fountain of Youth, or Curing by Water by Benedict Lust, published in 1923.

      Could it maybe be a different edition? Itd be weird for a different edition to go out of their way to redraw a man showing his groins tho…

        You know how it is… you’re a publisher, you have a professional falling-out with your company’s in-house groin-drawer, he leaves to draw groins for your competitor and you need to get in a new artist who wants to put their own spin on the material…

        given that the caption is different, my guess is it’s a different book entirely

      Google stands corrected.
