Black-and-white 1920s film still of a sturdy woman in Art Deco costume striking a giant crystal tuning fork in a symmetrical stylized jungle set.

Framed by a towering Art Deco jungle altar, a planetary huntress strikes a suspended crystal tuning fork to summon an alien beast. Shot on Eastman Kodak Type 1 Panchromatic stock with a Pathé Studio Camera and Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, the black-and-white frame exhibits high contrast, a soft diffusion-filter glow on the chrome highlights, and fine print scratches.
