A Glimpse Into the 20th Century Travels of Arthur and Kate Tode
In short: This archival footage captures the personal travels of Arthur and Kate Tode across the United States. From the landscapes of New Mexico to the grounds of West Point, these home movies offer a rare, candid look at the couple's life and leisure in the mid-20th century.
The film documents a variety of scenes, including a visit to the Jemez Mountain Inn in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, and time spent in Taos, where the couple explored Pueblo architecture and a local mission. The footage also captures more mundane moments of travel, such as a car being winched out of a gulley after getting stuck.
Beyond their western travels, the collection features scenes at the West Point Military Academy and glimpses of family life, including the couple's parents and their home in Yonkers, New York. The footage is notable for its unique visual quality; it was shot in lenticular color but lacks the necessary filter, resulting in a distinctive appearance characterized by vertical stripes.
