I've tried nearly 50 different combinations for what the name could be to no avail, and looked up artists of the past century to see if it was a famous artist. The artist was most likely unknown.
That's what we tried... even through we download the Internet everyday, we couldn't find an archive with a name that matched whatever that signature actually says. It could have been an unpublished artist...
Who knows... try to find an art expert to verify it.

From the picture I am about 80% sure that picture isn't 150 years old. At 150 years old it would have signs of aging that aren't present and since it obviously isn't kept in an archival quality case it would be exposed to the elements.
