This DVD boxset of The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926) has been transferred from a 35mm print that appears to have original color tints (predominantly amber, with a blue night color-toning and rose interior color-tints, and black & white intertitles).

The sound film titles in the boxset have been mastered from very-good to excellent 35mm print materials.
