In a workshop of brass and sparking coils, a robot engineer tends to her mechanical creation. This is a still from a silent-era 'serial queen' adventure; its high contrast and unusual tones are hallmarks of early orthochromatic film stock, which was insensitive to red light, rendering the heroine's copper hair almost black. The harsh, directional light is typical of the carbon arc lamps used in early film studios.
