Film notes

In 1907, the film, in the form of a tiny photographic paper roll, a “paper print,” was deposited at the Library of Congress where it remained for decades. In the middle 50s, the paper print duplication project was begun and Marceline…was transferred to celluloid. The Library made a 35mm blow-up of a 16mm print. Because the original material is so brief, 5 repetitions were printed, each of 145 frames – 87 (5.5”) of title and 58 (4”) of Marceline’s image. The total length, including black spacer between the repetitions, is 78 feet (1’ 18” at 16fps)
