This is the gloom-shrouded frontispiece from the 1915 novel Pals First, which was written by Francis Perry Elliott and published by Grosset & Dunlap. Despite the dark illustration, the novel is described as "A romance of love and comradery." It has 29 chapters, with titles such as:
- The Crooked Road
- By the Flare of a Match
- A Telephone Call
- "You Are Not the Dick I Knew"
- What the Safe Held
- What the Portrait Showed Me
- The Way of a Man with a Maid
- Danny's Moon-Madness
- The Turning of the Worm
- Danny Puts His Foot in It
- The Victor's Gate
Author Elliott (1861-1924) wrote a number of books, including The Haunted Pajamas. Here's a fun 1917 advertisement (found online) from The Bookman Advertiser for another of Elliott's books.
