At last a result :) I'm also looking forward to what Colin Harding has to say. I hope it's definitive proof not some untested theory of his, I'll guess I  have to wait and see

I'm hoping for the same.  I thik he has probably solved it, as I  suspect its a result of this http://blog.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/2015/05/20/how-the-girl-in-red-from-a-1913-photo-became-a-social-media-starlet/

all still very intriguing ! :)

I was guessing that the girl in the black and white photo with the word Christina on top,left was not the same girl in the colour photos. I was thinking the nose and eyes and skin texture was different. Yet there was enough similarities to assume that it was the same girl and hence the girl in the colour photos was assumed to be the same.  I'll guess I'll find out soon if I was correct.

Wonderful to have the answer ! After finding that Mervyn's book was dedicated to a neighbours wife, on a hunch I checked the neighbours in Embankment Gardens , but didn't check on Chelsea Embankment itself.  Pleased to know her true identity, and to see the other images (and the Daily Mail STILL get the picnic & boat images the wrong way round !!)
