Wow, that is gorgeous! I love Kodachrome and sad that it has been discontinued. It is interesting that this is from 1922, and Kodachrome was not officially introduced until 1935 as a 16mm film. When it was introduced it was available balanced for daylight, with an ASA (ISO) of 10, and as a Type A film (balanced for 3400K light) with an ASA of 16. I bet this experimental film was very, very slow.

I bet this experimental film was very, very slow.

no doubt. i think that's why it looks like oil paintings in motion (the lighting is harsh? i don't know, something about the lighting)
