A Country Cattle Show

An afternoon at a Victorian agricultural show: location unidentified

Non-Fiction 1897 3 mins Silent

Overview

Take the bull by the horns and sample an afternoon at a Victorian agricultural show. The location of this film, attributed to Charles Goodwin Norton, is unidentified. It gives us the stately spectacle of a bulls and cows parade, and the faster excitement of horses jumping a low wall, at times knocking its bricks for six. Straw boaters, bowlers, homburgs and even a pith helmet adorn local dignitaries' heads. Interspersed is a seaside scene that's apparently wandered in from another film.
