The Méliès scholar John Frazer was unable to obtain a print, but speculated in 1979 that a fragment may survive in Budapest.[2] The Internet Movie Database lists an 1989 Hungarian TV miniseries on film history, Fejezetek a film történetéböl, that purportedly includes a clip from the film.[3] Jacques Malthête's 2008 Méliès filmography lists the film as presumed lost.[1]
