Answers:
Don't take the picture to be literal!. Stanley Kubrick directed this, and he likes to use visual metaphors!. (If you don't believe me, watch 2001: A Space Odyssey!)
The picture is just explaining that history is repeating itself!. The Overlook turned one man against his family, and then, years later, it did it again!. Jack isn't REALLY there in 1921, he's just a lot like the man who WAS!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
