Overview

An interesting counterpart to Mitchell and Kenyon's extensive coverage of the human visitors to the 1902 Cork Exhibition, this film instead consists of a nearly 360-degree pan around the exhibition grounds (constructed on what is now Fitzgerald Park) and the nearby River Lee, ending on a close-up of what is almost certainly part of the exhibition's water chute, one of its signature attractions.
