Now that I've watched this several times, I find it more intriguing with each viewing. It's so wonderful that even after 108 years, the film's coloration has been so well preserved. I can't imagine how many hours it took to actually produce this. Even though it's less than 10 minutes - it must've been quite labor intensive. You can see even from the staging and the arrangements of the bouquets and fruits that someone put their heart and soul into. Such talent. What an incredible coloration proocess. Thank you for sharing this lovely visual treat with all of us.

Hi. Bit late here, but there is an explanation of how this system worked on the historical colours timeline website. . It wasn't a subtractive process with colour film, but an additive process shot through R(ed)G(reen)B(lue) filters and projected through RGB filters. The actual film was panchromatic(-b&w) , the colour of each wavelength was recorded as grey scales (monochromatic images, ( b&w) ) .filmcolors.org/timeline-entry/1227/

For all the people asking, the music is the overture to Johann Strauss Jr.'s operetta "Die Fledermaus." It's obviously an old recording, but has nothing to do with the film, which was, of course, silent.

It`s incredible! Was this color movie produced in 1912? What vivid colors they are! This motion picture is just like a time capsule. I`m deeply impressed.

I am very intrigued by the age of this antique film and how the flowers, fruits, and vegetables were arranged. I also think the musical selection is particularly good, as it is in keeping with the whimsical nature of the film. A question more central to the heart of the matter is why was this filmed? I can't help but wonder about this time in history: a time when film was still in its infancy and people were so impressed by the concept of a moving picture that it really didn't matter what the subject matter was. Plants and foods revolving on a lazy-susan nowadays are fodder for ridicule and cruel jokes. To me, it's an indication that the public back then was more appreciative of the simple pleasures in life and of beauty for beauty's sake. I too, love that philosophy! There certainly is much wide-eyed wonder in the so-called mundane. What a gem this is! Thank you for sharing it with those of us alive who are fortunate enough to see it.

3 color additive implies 3 separate monochrome films and RGB filters.

Yes, colour records recorded as monochromatic greys scales. I think they had issues with parallax with this system. filmcolors.org/timeline-entry/1227/
