Can anyone provide a definite date for this photo of Helen Keller, Anne
Sullivan, Mark Twain and Laurence Hutton:

They date it as circa 1902.

The photo was also published in Laurence Hutton, Talks in a Library
(1905), but he didn't provide a date.

I believe it was taken on April 20, 1902. Twain was in Princeton to give a
talk on "Patriotism" before the Monday Night Club. Helen Keller attended
that event on the evening of the 19th and they spent the following day
together at Hutton's home. A brief account was published in the New
York Times:
