   It is shown at the Cinémathèque Française in Paris, in the "Musé du cinéma" section. I've seen it and the result is pretty different from other films of that era on the visual aspect, and was interesting to watch, but the frame rate is rather low with 10 frames per second. It's essentially cars and horses going on a road with 3 people on a side walk ( on the right of the frame) looking at the camera. Very common scene in early films.

   'In 1890 Friese Greene demonstrated a stereo camera by engineer Frederick H. Varley, and in November 1893 patented a virtually identical apparatus. Surviving sequences show a very low picture frequency. A short sequence of (mono) images by Friese Greene, of King’s Road Chelsea, early 1890s, has subsequently been animated into movement, but there were no successful projections at the time'' 10 years 8 months ago
