Possibly dates from around 1928 as the The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland mentions "Mr. Thomas H. Mason, Fellow, exhibited a series of Lantern Slides of " The Antiquarian Remains on the Islands of Inish- murray and Skellig Michael," with explanatory notes.", at least according to the Google Books result page.
