    beachcomber australia I wonder about the gentleman seated to the left of the door wearing the pale hat. Is it the same hat as the one that is hanging on the hatstand in the Wikipedia photo of the billiard room taken c1870?

    There is a Royal Plate version with less blur - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000319443 - which was used in this online book, 'Hutchinson's Britain Beautiful' Ed. Walter Hutchinson, 1920. See page 361 -
