The orientation is encoded in the EXIF tag.
Bingo! As to why Chrome doesn't follow the orientation tag, it apparently is due to a recommendation from w3.org to ignore orientation exif metadata for legacy reasons. Presumably when the image is displayed on its own, Chrome doesn't care about css3 standards anymore, and applies the necessary transformations. https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-images/#image-orientation
