Someone must have noticed this before - the three important looking gents in pale top hats in front might be - [centre] - Peter Nicol Russell (1816-1905) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Nicol_Russell [right] - James Barnet (1827-1904) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Barnet Not sure about the gent on the left. Possibly John Rae? - adb.anu.edu.au/biography/rae-john-4443
