Description:

1 videocassette (46 min.) : black and white ; 1/2 in. + 1 folded sheet

Notes:
The films have been professionally mastered onto videotape, but the picture quality of many of the films is poor, owing to their age and the paper intermediate stage. Sound is added to the introductory sequence only.
VHS format.

Summary:

These films are from the Paper Print Collection at the Library of Congress. The films represent views of three major fairs and expositions of the early film era: The Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris, the Pan-American Exposition of 1901 in Buffalo, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904 in St. Louis. Also included are two early films from Luna Park at Coney Island and a reenactment of the Boer War shot in 1905 at Brighton Beach in Brooklyn.
