First footage of the Netherlands.

The camera people when filming filmed the reality.

For the spectators - in a time when even in a newspaper no picture could be found - it's a thrill. Among the now 35 mm preserved films are the oldest of the Netherlands documentary material. So we now know how in 1898 the mills of the Zaan turned and when it was cozy on the beach in front of the Kurhaus in Scheveningen.
