Two-Oared Boat Race, Sundays Well, Cork

Overview

This film was commissioned by influential fairground showman George Green (one of the first exhibitors to hire Mitchell & Kenyon) for his cinematographic show at the Cork International Exhibition 1902. It documents a boat race on a suburban section of the River Lee, though its vantage point also commands a magnificent view of the river and a picturesque Sunday's Well backdrop.
