I was not clear enough? Good grief:
As I made clear, all she had to do was just look at some pictures, e.g., some of the many ones on record jackets or concert announcements. We can see one quite good example of such an old record jacket cover at

That picture alone shows left hand, right
hand, chin, shoulder, and back posture all
quite well, and there are more such old
record jacket pictures, e.g.,

Of course now there are some just fantastically good videos on JUST how to hold a violin, e.g.,

Also good help has long been in a library, e.g.,
Ivan Galamian,
Principles of Violin Playing & Teaching,
Prentice-Hall,
Englewood Cliffs,
1962.
Galamian was long at Juilliard.
Of course, looking carefully at the pictures, will see some differences in the right hand: Heifetz has his little finger barely on the bow and Fischer and Hahn have the little finger more on the bow. The Heifetz approach is sometimes called Russian and the Fischer and Hahn, German. Otherwise all the pictures are very close in how to hold a violin.
The record jacket covers did well for me!
So, how the heck did she miss all such pictures?
