Cabinet Portrait

Q Cabinet group portrait of ten unidentified black Victorians comprising five men and five women. I originally thought this picture was of The Jubilee Singers of Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee but recently have discovered this to be incorrect. Could this be another touring group as many groups emerged after the Jubilee Singers appeared on the scene or could it be a group of missionaries?
