The Assassination of the Duke de Guise

Passers-by on a street market in Marseille.

The main market square in the heart of Brussels.

A view of the Great Sphinx with two of Giza's pyramids in the background. A caravan passes the scene.

A stationary camera looks across a busy corner toward a store front marked "The Divan." The words "des fees" are beneath. A cortege of Arabs, about 20 persons in the party, walk past; the dignitaries are in front, attended by men with horns and drums. Coming in the other direction are local Swiss, who pay little attention, and a group of native-garbed Africans. The dozen or so well-dressed denizens of Geneva who are sitting on the steps of the Divan take it all in.

Panoramic view of the banks of the River Nile.

Another street scene of daily life.

Dragons escorting officers on horseback.

A stationary camera looks west across Niagara Falls from the United States' side (the Niagara River rushes toward the falls from right to left). Virtually overlooking the falls and surrounded by the swift current not far from the camera is a small island where six or eight tourists watch the water, talk, and move about.
