The short film Prinsengracht shows one of the main canals of Amsterdam on a sunny day. With the camera on board of a barge, we sail slowly over the canal. The camera pans and catches the houses, the bridges and the traffic on the streets. A small boat driven by a boy quickly moves away to avoid collision with the barge. The film is made by de Nederlandsche Biograaf en Mutoscope Company (the Dutch Biograph and Mutoscope Company), an associate of the American and British Mutoscope Company.
