  Definitely amateur dramatics and don't they look very well? AOH is surely the Ancient Order and the Pirates is a resonable assumption!

  But where are the Police?

  Thought that was Harpo Marx on the left.

  And I can't work out who the chap in the middle of the front row is supposed to be! But I'm going out on an limb and tagging with Pirates of Penzance, if that's ok with all of you. We can revisit if someone comes up with a better solution.

  African explorer, a friend of Roger Casement (Congo days) and also the US explorer Stanley....

• beachcomber australia said:

  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."
  From - search.worldcat.org/title/L'atelier-de-Herbert-Ward-Paris...
  
  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/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.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Date is definitely after 1899 when Ward moved to Paris.
