My first and immediate thought was "there is a lot of blue pigment in these clothes."

When you search for early century Guatemalan fabrics and materials, it is difficult to find examples of blue fabrics, as I imagine, because the materials were just too expensive and not broadly available.

... but AI does not know that.

Yes, in fact in my opinion this work can be useful mainly to learn about completely forgotten photographic works and imagine the colors that might have been there but no one obviously knows exactly what the colors were like at that time...
