If you know the authentic old time Chabad person he had a very sharp sense of humor,so I try as well.Thats missing from today's Madison Ave version of Shabad.

Okay, you bringing a different story into it. But it has nothing to tell from this photo. Although there is something here that doesn’t look frum. I don’t know what it is.

No frum girls schools in Russia.no beis Yaakovs.And this ain't a cheder either as there were few such institutions in Russia.

After 1918 Vilna had a modern Orthodox girls school led by Rebbetzin Dr Esther Rubinstein. My money is that this is a Zionist sponsored school.

Most girls chedorim were taught by the shochets wife or the Rebbetzin ,I see no one whose manner of dress matches those offices.

There are girls and polish family. I don’t disagree with you in principle, but you can’t deduce it from the picture. You can only project based on your vision of history, not from this photo.
