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 , an associate of the American and British Mutoscope Company.
