Photos from an era long ago are often poignant, in that young people who died long ago point to the fragility of mortal humanity . Those young herring girls from the Isle of Man are a case in point ; as is the girl walking the streets barefoot . I find myself often noting the year pictures were taken ( in the case of this barefoot girl , 1880 , one year after the Battles of Isandlewana and Rorkes Drift . Just saying ... ) . Thanks for putting this together .
