A sturdy 1920s woman in round spectacles and a brass finned cap adjusts a glowing brass armillary sphere in a muted two-strip Technicolor studio photograph.

Framed at the centre of an Art Deco temporal carriage, a broad-shouldered time traveller aligns the nested brass rings of an armillary sphere around a glowing quartz core. The 1920s Two-Strip Technicolor Process 2 palette restricts the scene to muted teal-greens and faded orange-reds. Retained silver and a direct flash flatten her freckled face while casting a hard shadow against the painted studio backdrop.
