Didn't think I was going to have anything for this challenge, but then I went to the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose while on vacation. This is our tour guide reflected in the mirror in Sarah Winchester's bedroom. I think the old timey treatment suits it and works with the slightly OOF pot in the foreground. It's interesting, but not one of my best. Expecting a with the pack finish.

A few commenters made a mention of her mask dating this as a recent photo and implied it affected the period feel, but there WAS the Spanish flu pandemic around 1918, so I call it period appropriate. By accident, but still.
Her mask was appropriate to the place, though. Here's a closeup:

The sepia toning lends quick authenticity to this image being taken in the
Victorian era, but for the covid mask. Could be for, though, some miasmic affronts wending their way through London. I like the depth of field here, leaving the pitcher soft and the deep interior sharp. The lights and darks are nicely distributed. The woman, who might be a maid, has the posed stiffness of the times. The white shapes on the right edge are somewhat distracting.
Personal second favorite of the challenge.
I really like the feeling of this. The title suits it. The sepia tone and the dress of the nurse makes it feel old and yet the face mask brings on thoughts of Covid. In my top 3
