I would be surprised if the photograph dated from as early as 1841. Early photographs required very long exposures - several minutes at least - and I cannot imagine that everyone in the photograph managed to stay totally still for that length of time. I cannot suggest an exact date, but 1850s or 1860s seem more likely than 1841.
