香港歷史博物館 claims 1888, while 中国国家博物馆 claims 1892. 中国国家博物馆 (National Museum of China) doesn't actually claim 1892, they've added the incorrect date to the title of the picture. In the caption under the picture, the caption also contains the names of the five people in the picture, the 中国国家博物馆 (National Museum of China) states that the picture was taken in 1887.
