A black and white photograph of a young woman's head and shoulders. Her head is turned in side profile. Her gaze is soft and her expression is neutral. Her curled hair is loosely swept back and neatly coiled and pinned at the back of her head. She is wearing earrings with a drop of three circular shapes getting larger in size with the largest at the bottom. She wears pale clothing with dark narrow vertical lines and a subtle ruffled trim at the shoulders. A row of dark buttons runs down the front and a slim white collar is decorated with a circular brooch similar in design to her earrings.

An example of automated character extraction from a shorthand exercise

A black and white illustration. In the foreground a small wooden rowing boat is being rowed by a young woman with dark hair blowing in the wind. She wears a simple dress and a cloak and is looking over her shoulder as she raises the oars out of the water. A man is at the back of the boat crouched with one hand on each side. He has a dark grizzly beard and hair. He is dressed in a shirt with the sleeves rolled up and trousers. In the background of the picture is a skyline of tall buildings and a church spire with tall ships in port in front. Another small rowing boat is coming in to frame from the left.
