Skating-rink in the Royal Baths

This 1-minute documentary captures a moment in time, featuring a group of ice skaters in Poland. Filmed with a pleograph, an early movie camera invented by Prószyński, it represents a significant development in motion picture technology.

As part of the early documentary genre, this film offers a glimpse into 19th-century leisure activities. The historical context and unique filming technique make it a noteworthy piece for collectors interested in the origins of cinema and Polish history. Its brief runtime, however, hints at an era where film was just beginning to explore storytelling through moving images.
