The picture is from the collection of photos held by the University of Aberdeen.

See: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/special-collections/about-george-washington-wilson-383.php

The inscription is GWW and refers to Geroreg Washington Wilson & Co.

The University web page says:

George Washington Wilson and Co., captured images from all over Britain, recording everything from the natural grandeur of Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa to the bustle of London's Oxford Street. Wilson had a staff of photographers including his son, Charles Wilson, who with senior staff photographer Fred Hardie, toured the colonial townships of South Africa. Dispatched to capture images of Australia in 1892, Hardie also travelled through Queensland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. These tours provide a vivid picture of gold miners and early settlers at work and play, and of the native or aboriginal way of life.

I have posted some images from that source in the past.
