Black and white early 1900s film frame of a 60-year-old woman in a Victorian bustle and corset, throwing a target ball in a theatrical Wild West show.

A single frame from a 1900s Wild West Show Extravaganza, showing a seasoned show-woman mid-performance. High-key lighting flattens the painted canvas backdrop, typical of early Pathé Studio productions. Shot on Lumière Blue Label stock with a Cooke Series II lens, the image displays authentic orthochromatic contrast, heavy grain, and the classic 1.33:1 aspect ratio.
