„Bei der Oma?“… @ grandmother’s

Not this time though.
In this sentence, bei in german is translated as at or with in english.
When by is referring to where a thing, person or place is in relation to something else, it normally means beside or to the side of. There are more details about by and how it is used here.
I don’t know if the three children and the white cat really are staying at their grandmother’s house, but this lovely old photograph was taken in Australia around 1886 by a photographer and mining entrepreneur called Charles Kerry.
