The picture is incredible. I have studied it at it's original size and every detail offers a different impression of what life was like. So much information preserved in sepia. I have seen nothing like it in moving pictures and can only imagine than no one would believe it if you recreated it for film. I feel fortunate to have been able to see this. Thank you.

There is a photo album of "ca. 1905" -
"The album is a photographic record (ca. 1905) of the studio of sculptor and painter Herbert Ward (1863-1919) documenting his sculptures of African tribesmen and women and the interior of his studio which was filled with African tribal artifacts. Ward was born in London but spent much of his life in Paris. The focus of his collection and sculptural work was the result of his expedition to central Africa with Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) in 1887."

Maybe Ward sent this print to his close friend Casement. Probably before WW1, when they fell out according to Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Ward_(sculptor)

The NLI catalogue has five photos of Ward's Paris studio -
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184789 (this photo)
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184790
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184794
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184795
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184796 (sculptures in progress)

Aside - I think it looks awful; all those dead things and pointy objects are dreadful feng shui.

Date is definitely after 1899 when Ward moved to Paris.

The Kunja (Gunya) were an indigenous Australian people of the state of Queensland. Norman Tindale calculated Kunja lands as having spread over some 12,000 square miles (31,000 km2) of territory Warrego River from Cunnamulla north to Augathella and Burenda. Their western extension lay somewhere between Cooladdi and Cheepie. Their eastern boundary lay at the present day Morven and Angellala Creek. Charleville was on Kunja land.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunya_people
