The third (1899) V&A was commissioned in July 1901, which might be a latest date for this photo. Interesting Red Herring - there was a copy ship made in 1863 for the Egyptian Royals, and it is still going strong - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mahrousa

It's incredibly immediate. It feels just like it was taken today, but for the costumes. Btw, if that's a Peterson pipe then I think this must be 1890s or more, although I'm no expert.
