Framed dead center on a painted canvas observatory stage, a solidly built duellist levels a finned brass ether-pistol at an unseen rival across the lunar court. Recorded through an uncoated simple meniscus lens on orthochromatic nitrate stock with a monochromatic cobalt tint, the hard greenhouse light blooms fiercely from a tall arched window and sends a bright flare streaking across the heavy silver grain.
