Shots of the Czechoslovak village exposition at Prague's Výstaviště (Exhibition Grounds) in the time of St. John's Fair. In the front we can see pairs dancing with a merry-go-round turning behind them. In the top left-hand corner, a ropewalker shows his performance.
Note
The film was shot and screened in the Czech Cinematograph Pavilion during the Exhibition of Architecture and Engineering at the Prague Exhibition Grounds, which lasted from June to October 1898.
