Thank you for your interest in the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC) and the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN). The VMC is an initiative of the Department of Canadian Heritage, and is an online portal to the rich stories and treasures that have been entrusted to Canada’s museums.
It appears that this image is getting a considerable amount of attention on the Web. In response to your request, while CHIN administers the VMC, the actual content is created and produced by our museum members. It is also our members who own the copyright of the texts and images they have provided. In this case, the image was used from the collection at the Bralorne Pioneer Museum in British Columbia, Canada.

Unfortunately, it is a seasonal museum and will not re-open until late in the spring, and are not reachable until then. Our opinion at the VMC is that this photo is not photoshopped, but we do not have access to the original image to confirm with absolute certainty.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions related to CHIN's or the VMC's programs and services.
Sincerely,
