Inside a cavernous 1920s power plant, a broad-shouldered overseer pulls back a massive ceramic knife switch as steam erupts around him. Shot with an uncoated wide-angle lens on orthochromatic motion picture stock, the German Expressionist composition relies on severe chiaroscuro lighting. Overexposed highlights bloom to pure white while silvering and foxing mark the warm, aged edges of the print.
