Since the photo was taken in 1902, we know that panchromatic film was not used. So anything red on black or blue/violet on white will not be rendered.
On the other hand, it is a very high grain film - perhaps higher than one would could get with most off-the-shelf color digital or film cameras. Also, it was perhaps fine enough for holography - though in 1902, monochromatic light sources were not available - Arthur Compton created a low pressure sodium lamps in 1920.

I passed by the YouTube topic when it randomly came up in my exploration, of why early movies had the actors with high contrasting makeup. This is surely part of the explanation.
Just a short read said that the film/camera could not see their faces.
 
Youtube now sports history that is entirely fictional. An example is this. It is easy to detect because the story isn't believable and there is no corroboration anywhere, but the superficial plausibility and wealth of phony detail fools most people. I have also seen a falsified mountain climbing adventure and a fake band whose music is excellent but images are AI synthesized and somehow the band has never appeared on a stage anywhere. The music seems to have fooled everyone. Well...
