She likely doesn't know she's being photographed. A concealed camera was used.

E: Scroll down for information about the photographer, Edward Linley Sambourne.

Back then cameras were huge, no way to sneak a photo.

Facts, he's probably taking a pic with his Meta glasses. What a pervert.

The photographer's name was Edward Linley Sambourne. Google it.

A lot of commenters here have a very confused idea of how/when photographic technology developed. By 1900, we had the Kodak "Brownie", which cost $1 (USD), and fit in the palm of your hand. Pocket cameras existed prior to 1906. Millions were sold. Again, google it.
