The film is part of Eye Filmmuseum's Mutoscope and Biograph Collection. This collection consists of about 200 films preserved on their original 68 mm format. The digital file provided is scanned in 2022 at Eye Collection Center, from the 35 mm duplicate negative that was made in 1998. After the first analogue preservation round made 25 years ago, Eye is now undertaking the digital restoration of the Mutoscope & Biograph Collection. "Mardi Gras Carnival" became the focus of attention, thanks to its inclusion within 'The Artistry of REX' exhibition, that opened in the summer of 2022 at the Louisiana State Museum.
