since about Victorian times (roughly 1837 on)
Even for people who don't think of photography as one of the arts, this image is an amazing piece of historical record keeping. Poor little girl, but clever John Thomson.
I think we catch a glimpse of a world long gone and perhaps in some cases best so.
