They look like historical reenactors
Its odd to think this is how it was prior to machine guns and tanks. Color really does make it feel like a reenactment.

Unless OP typo’d the year in the title and this wasn’t actually from 1913, Gatling guns had existed for almost half a century and the British Mark I tank was only 3 years away.
Yeah, machine guns existed, but Europeans had pretty much only pointed them at Africans until one year after this picture was taken.
They were used in the Franco-Prussian war a bit.

To be fair, Europe had spent most of the time the Gatling and Maxim had existed for fighting under the rules of engagement, as the great British Captain Blackadder once noted, that the “prerequisite of a… campaign was that the enemy should under no circumstances carry guns.”

“Right, Baldrick. This is an old trick I picked up in the Sudan…”
Should be 1813, it’s Napoléon’s army
If men’s formal wear looked like this I’d get dressed up more often
