Look Away

 

A girl looking away. Most of these photos must be taken with a simple fixed lens camera like a brownie based on the unfocused subjects being too close to the camera.

Fragments of the Past

Unfortunately, not all photographs and letters have survived. Although I do not know how the photograph above ended up in this condition, most letters and a few photographs has been ruined by rodents. I saw half eaten letters with prominent bite marks. Some, just bits and pieces with nothing left to save. Like this photograph, it looks like some type of liquid, possibly rodent urine has ruined it.

How do you think the photograph ended this way? Was it intentional? Who is the girl in the photograph?
