Default Looking for help with my unknown painting

Would greatly appreciate if somebody could help me with the history or artist info on my painting. It's a beautiful painting and could use some TLC, but I want to make sure it's done right if the painting is worthy. Thanks for your time.

Are you sure that it is a B. Draper and not and H. Draper as in Herbert Draper.

Edit: OOPsie...I guess that is the actual signature from the painting. In that case it isn't Herbert as his signature is more eloquent. http://www.artrenewal.org/pages/artw...991&size=large

Thanks for the feedback. At least we know what it is now and love the painting, even if it's a copy. I just doubt I'll spend the money to fix the paint cracking.
