A starship captain playfully polishes her glass helmet, ready for a voyage into the cosmos as imagined at the turn of the 20th century. This is a single frame from a fictional silent-era comedy, with the high-key theatrical lighting and stage-like sets of the period. The distinct look comes from its imagined medium: the grain, softness and skewed tones of early orthochromatic film shot on an Edison Kinetograph.
