A 1950s space cadet with copper-red hair and a gap-toothed smile aligns a large brass and ruby-glass heliograph beacon on a marble pedestal.

In a monumental space-academy amphitheatre, a slight, copper-haired cadet calibrates a finned brass heliograph beacon atop a fluted marble pedestal. Shot on a three-strip camera with a Super Baltar lens, the frame pairs hard studio light and primary dye-transfer hues with a silvery, desaturated bleach-bypass finish, complete with fine print scratches and dust.
