firstly, I saved this image sometime in 2005 and cannot recall wherefrom.

Secondly, here's a clue I picked up from an archaeology blogsite - we're not the only ones looking:

The orginal photographer who took this snap shot was Mayan scholar Teobert Maler, who died in 1917. It is said that he took it at an unknown site in the Yucatan.

finally, it seems the image was featured in a book once available through Amazon:

Bingo!

... He believed in the lost continent of Atlantis and spoke of having discovered, on the wall of a buried Maya chamber, a mural depicting the destruction of Atlantis, "a water scene with a volcano spouting fire and smoke, buildings falling into the water, people drowning," as he described it...
