Tough times are etched in her face
Yup. And quite easy to understand why.
Btw, she had never seen, and was completely unaware of the photograph, other than remembering it being taken, until tracked down at around the age of 30.
1939. Celebrating her 10th birthday.
2nd from left. Anne Frank.
Robert Mcgee was 13 years old in the summer of 1864 while on a caravan bringing flour to a fort. The caravan was attacked by a Sioux group, he was shot, stabbed and scalped by Sioux Chief Little Turtle, who took 64 square inches of scalp from the boy, though amazingly he survived.
He was the only man to have been scalped by the Sioux that lived to tell the tale.
Crikey ! You mean those are skull sutures we can see ? Frigginelle ! So the skull just dries up to form some sort of impervious layer ?
Another peculiar effect was that it transported his fashion sense 150 years into the future.
The first ever photo of a person.
7 minute exposure taken in Paris in 1838.
Too long for any image of a pedestrian to be captured, except for a man that was getting his shoes polished.

My son, my wife and a neighbour. Long, long time ago.
Aimo Koivunen
Koivunen was assigned duty on a ski patrol 15 March 1944, along with several other men. Three days into their mission, 18 March, the group was attacked and surrounded by Soviet forces, from which they managed to escape.[2] Koivunen became fatigued after skiing for a long distance of high-speed travel, but could not stop. He was also the sole carrier of army-issue Pervitin, or methamphetamine, a stimulant used to remain awake while on duty.[3] Koivunen had trouble pulling out a single pill, so he poured the entire bottle of thirty capsules into his hand and took them all.
He had a short burst of energy, but then entered into a state of delirium, and lost consciousness. Koivunen remembered waking up the following morning separated from his patrol, and having no supplies.[4] In the following days, he escaped Soviet forces once again, was injured by a land mine, and lay in a ditch for a week waiting for help.[4] After traveling more than 400 km (250 miles) on skis, he was found and admitted to a nearby hospital, where his heart rate was measured at 200 beats per minute, double the average human heartbeat,[5] and weighing only 43 kg (94 pounds).[4] In the week he was gone, he subsisted only on pine buds and a single Siberian jay that he caught and ate raw.[4]
Sounds like a Slap in Koh Samui story, but with snow.
