The snapshot was taken when the poet's mother was a girl of twelve and went on a beach holiday with her cousins Betty and Dolly.
Where did the term snapshot come from?
Sir John Herschel coined snapshot1 in 1860, by analogy to the hunter's term for a quick shot made without careful aim. Snapshots became common after the introduction of point-and-shoot cameras, such as Kodak's, in 1888.
Who were Betty and Dolly?
Betty and dolly were the two younger cousins of the poet's mother. Both betty and dolly accompanied her on a sea holiday in their childhood days. This was before the poet was born.
