The Red Spectre (1907, dir. Segundo de Chomón, Ferdinand Zecca) In the film, a demonic magician performs a series of magic tricks, including trapping miniaturized people in bottles (the scene above is online here). The film was shot in black-and-white, and colors were later applied using stencils, a mechanical process that replaced the more labor intensive hand-tinting.  (via)
