Hand colored lantern slide – Erwin Hinckley Barbour, J.L. Wortman, and James William Gidley on a “paleontological expedition for the Division of Vertebrate Mammals.” (From lantern slides found in the Division of Vertebrate Paleontology Records.) Smithsonian Institution (image on flickr)
The references for this image give a date range of 1900-1935. Gidley died in 1831 at the age of 55. None of these men look that old. Barbour was ten years older than Gidley. In 1908, Wortman went to Brownsville, Texas, opened a drug store, and spent the rest of his life as a pharmacist. My guess is that this image is from some time in the late 19th century.
