Christina Bevan was born March 8, 1897 in Harrow, London, the daughter of Edwin Bevan, a philosopher at Kings College, and Daisy Bevan. Mervyn O’Gorman, a British Electrical Engineer and friend of Dr. Bevan, captured these colorful and vibrant photos of 16 year old Christina at Lulworth Cove on the Dorset Coast of Southern England.
O’Gorman achieved the lovely colors through the Autochrome Lumiere process, developed by the Lumiere brothers and patented in 1903. She wore red because the color process was especially good at picking up red.
Christina passed away in Buckinghamshire, England in 1981. She never married or had children. She was 84. Little else is known about her. In modern parlance we would say she had aura.
