August Lumiere is being photographed in this comedy skit taken by Louis Lumiere. Auguste just can't sit still and causes the photographer to knock over his camera and break it much to his chagrin. The photographer is probably a friend of the Lumiere family and a future business associate named Felcien Trewey. The camera is obviously a stage prop. The environment, as in all Louis' films, is an outdoor setting. Even though Trewey was a vaudevillian; his acting and that of Auguste leaves a lot to be desired.
