A 1910s silent film still of a tall woman in an Edwardian coat hauling on a brass airlock wheel inside a riveted lunar capsule, with a silvery magenta tint.

Trapped inside a brass-riveted lunar capsule, a tall stowaway in an Edwardian motoring coat braces her boot against the bulkhead to haul shut a venting airlock wheel. Shot on orthochromatic stock with a Bell & Howell 2709, the silent serial frame combines harsh carbon-arc studio shadows with the silvery contrast and faded magenta tint of an aging release print.
