Default Markings on "Hostiles" original 1903

Me again... I have a Hostilies print that is, I'm sure, a 1903 original print. Can anyone verify what markings are on an original other that the artist's signature?
I also have one of "the Attack" that I also do believe is original but would have to take the whole frame and matting apart to look for any other markings....

I have all 12 of the posters. I'll check the wording when I get home.
I know the title is located on the bottom center, the printer was Presby (SIC). To my knowledge, "THE ATTACK" was never reproduced so I'm sure yours is an original.

Thank you! Mine does have Frank Presbrey, NY on lower left, and Copyright 1902 on lower right.

Then I don't have to check, yours is real.
Congradulations the 1902 originals are tough to find I was lucky, I found 10 of the 12 in one lot.

Again, thank you.
Not sure if you or anyone would be interested but I have all 12 that were reproduced oil on canvas by an unknown? artist. There is an artist's signature but it is illegible. They are quite well done and very nicely framed - all the same with brass plaques on bases. They measure 18 x 20 with with the frames. I'm not sure of value but I am looking for a home for them.
