1974 · Short film · 32 min
Synopsis
Rare film footage shot under the direction of the legendary Lumier̀e Brothers during a round-the-world trip in the 1890's records such spectacular events as the coronation of Csar Nicholas II, President McKinley preparing to invade Cuba, and the Paris exposition. Equally remarkable is the record of the abject poverty of the common man in the "Golden Nineties."
