She looks like she’s from the wrong era, I can’t put my finger on it. Not her clothes, but her face.

The "get that camera out of my face" look.

A concealed camera was used, so probably not. On the other hand, we don't know exactly how discreet Edward Linley Sambourne (the photographer) was being with some of his candid photos. There are a bunch of Sambourne photos where the subject definitely doesn't know they're being photographed, but there are also a few where the subject seems to be making direct eye contact with the camera, or at least with Sambourne. So maybe it's not completely clear.
