I was struggling to see that until I saw your quoted small version of the photo - then it stands right out. As it were.

Back story...
These photographs were taken on the beach at Lulworth Cove, England in 1913, a year before World War I shattered the placidity of Europe.
The young woman's name is Christina O'Gorman. The photos were taken by her father, Mervyn O'Gorman, a 42-year-old British engineer who was experimenting with an early form of colour photography called Autochrome Lumière, which used potato starch on a glass plate as a color filter.
These are some of the earliest color photographs in existence.
Christina is almost certainly dead by now. Though there are no records of her life, we can assume that she probably died in the 1980s or '90s. In these photos, however, she's still young. Still pretty. She still has her whole life before her.
A life that has now come and gone. One that's been over for decades now. And all that remains are these few photographs taken on pleasant afternoon in 1913."

Beautiful photos. I would never have guessed their age. Back story...

I think there was a discussion earlier on this thread about looking at the faces of people in old photos knowing they are long dead. It's something I'm more aware of when watching films made in the 1920s and 30s.
