A terrified governess twists protectively over a wooden crib, her elongated shadow dominating the nursery wall. Shot on orthochromatic B&W film with uncoated prime lenses, the image relies on stark chiaroscuro lighting and a dynamic, canted composition to evoke 1930s expressionist horror. Skin tones render deeply, true to the era's emulsions.
