What stands out most to me is how just about everyone looks relaxed and at ease. Photos of people nowadays usually show people looking worried or depressed.
@@ianhawdon3680 I wish people could be teleported back to that time to see for themselves if they believe life was so much better and easier. Ironically, it's the same people who say that folks today have it too easy and are soft. Many people back then would exchange places with you in a heartbeat. This was right before the Great Depression.
that is some really selective inpression you have there. a lot of these photos had people looking neutral, and a huge majority of pictures nowadays also have people smiling and looking relaxed, its no different. People are still people. if you get the impression genuinely that times were more relaxed them or people were ohhh boy, you have some history to catch up on. this is like people thinking influencers on instagram all have perfect lives 🙈
And if you could have seen these same people a few years later when everything was at their finger tips... most of that plumpness was loss and so was the glow when they were struggling to feed themselves and families.
@@MarkCarlson-u9lyep, the governments worldwide are thinking up ways to cull their national populations. Too many people, and so little pension money, we are in trouble. Wars will soon become People vs State 😂
This is the decade that my father was born. My grandparents, born in the late 1800's were young adults like many in these pics in the 20's. I always love to see pics like these. Thanks for taking time to create this.
My parents were born in the 20’s, so I love to see pictures from that time. I don’t think my grandmother was a flapper, though. They lived on a farm so fashion wasn’t a big deal. But, my mother dressed beautifully and fashionably when she was young, and before the war broke out. Things were rationed then, even fabric.
My grandparents were all born in the 1910s, but my childhood neighbors were born in the late 1800s, died in the 1990s. One of my favorite things in the world was sitting with them for hours and listening to all their vivid stories of life in a completely different world than we know today. Back when horse and buggies weren’t just for the Amish .. ;) He had a gnarly scar on his leg from getting his foot caught in the wagon spokes as a kid; walked with a limp for the rest of his life. I truly miss hanging out with this generation. They’re a different breed of people, even compared to those born in the 30s who’re still living. I’d give anything if I could have had more time with them.
Bigotry still abounded. The pictures do not depict Negros and Whites together. Some towns had curfew laws in placed and inforced directed towards the Negros (Colored People) of the city; town.😣
The luxury of being overweight for the majority wasn't there yet. If you look at statistics, obesity rises with the popularity of fast food and later with Welfare, as many states give quite a bit of money to those on the system for food and there are no restrictions on what they can buy with their EBT card (so long as it's "food"). They can literally spend all their food money on donuts and soda. Keep in mind that in New York the food allowance for a family of three under the poverty line is about $500 a month. During covid, NY was giving out double that amount to those on welfare for the whole of the last three years. Doctors in the 1920s also were not afraid to tell their patients to lose weight for their health if they were getting pudgy.
@@baylorsailor People walked more back then and were outdoors more as well(no TV), no air conditioning, so the body works to stay cool in summer. And lets not forget strong fat shaming existed 30 plus years ago.
If you study enough Google images, you see that obesity did _not_ grow with an expanding economy. The US economy exploded immediately after WWII, but the fat explosion occurs in the 1980s. There were three major areas that the US changed _suddenly_ within the decade of the 70s, making the 80s substantially different from the 60s. 1. Eating habits changed dramatically. Prior to the 70s, nearly everyone ate only three times a day with almost nothing but water between meals. There were no vending machines in schools and workplaces. There were no break rooms with microwaves and refrigerators. Schoolchildren and office workers did not eat at their desks, nobody brought in donuts. People got water, maybe coffee with sugar, during a single break in the morning and another in the afternoon. Kids came home from school and had to wait until dinner. There was virtually no snacking. I distinctly recall in the later 60s when the food industry _invented_ the "after school snack" and started pushing mothers to have snack food on hand. After the 70s, people had snack food constantly available and many people began consuming calories nearly every waking hour of the day. 2. Ultra-processing of fast and junk foods was spun up during the 70s. The mantra at the time was "better living through chemistry," and food became highly chemicalized. Yes, there was "fast food" prior to the 70s, but "fast food" in the 60s was just whole food cooked in casual restaurants. "TV Dinners" were regular food that was cooked and simply frozen. Wheat in the 60s was still pretty much the same wheat of fifty years earlier. The creation of ultra-processed foods was from the 70s.
@@baylorsailor Obesity isn't a problem of the poor, it's an issue with modern western civilisation, you can eat fast food and still be slim if you burn those calories off. The real issue, especially in western society is lack of movement, too fond of cars and binging on Netflix and social media. How many kids today do we see playing on the streets or in local neighbourhoods ? they're all on screens. Obesity isn't a welfare issue it's a society issue.
You did an excellent job colorizing the film. That was my grandparents time of being young. Really can see the sign of the times what was important to society in the 1920s.
@@pravdanet Yep, its rather easy and simple AI Colorization, something i don´t like at all, also because its becoming widespread for no good reason. If you´ll look for Photo or Film colorization by hand, you´ll need to search for quite a while.
My parents were born during that time. When they were alive, they often shared beautiful memories and the challenges they faced. It’s a joy to see these images again today
Great work putting together this collection 🤗❤ What a beautiful time our parents lived in, natural people, pretty, educated, polite , elegant, thin, without tattoos, very elegant, I think we have a lot to learn from our past,
Vintage treasures, Very good job here. I am into history and love the 1920's-1940's scenes! I love how well-the people dressed back in these eras and the cars as well! Thanks for the upload.
Ah, the good old days. No EHS/HSE, life expectancy in the 50’s, no safety regulations at work, smog that would turn white clothing black, and of course tobacco companies telling the public that cigarettes were good for you. As you say, the good old days 🤦🏼♂️
it seems 1880 to like 1950 was the golden generation. The best decade (and the most destructive) was 1890's. Lots of stuff happened in Nevada and California
Not great if you were black, native, Jewish, gay, wanted a beer, worried about lead poisoning, asbestos in houses, wanted a 40 hour work week, did not want child labour, or were a woman (they just barely got the right to vote, but were still expected to be at home and sexism was rampant). Those rose colored glasses, some keep them quite snuggly on their face.

Funny. I'm 54 and I was just thinking that very same thing then stumbled onto your comment. These people were my grandfather's age. He passed in the 90's in his 80's. When girls were girls and men were men.
On February 5, 2024 a woman in the northern California town of Willits celebrated her 116th birthday. She is the oldest confirmed living person in the USA and a few months younger than the oldest in the world living in Spain. There are many other people well over a century still alive and it's possible one or more could have been pictured in any of these photographs.
@@netescape7771 sure its possible but not likely ... take in for account the majority of people are older than 20 in most of these pics you would have been a infant or toddler or small child when these were taken. my comment was more about mortality than facts about maybe 1 or 2 people might still be alive today
Very classy and well put together! The color just gives everything more depth and detail. Thank you for all the effort it must have taken. Instant LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!
In a lot of the photos, there was a sea of blue clothing. A lot of people wore blue in the 1920s because it represented prosperity and wealth. You have done a wonderful job on the colorization. I thoroughly enjoyed your work. I subscribed, and you got a thumbs-up from me. Keep up the good work.
Many of the colors are still too muted in my view. Seems we can't quite get out of the black and white aesthetics of pre Kodachrome decades. Sort of a retro time prejudice or something.
Thank you. You have managed to put 'human-ness' and colour back into history. Sweetly done. Your soundtrack choices are a fine companion. This is impressive and just flat out good.
A significant difference noticed between Americans of then to now is percentage carried body fat seen with any class of people from age to heritage. They were far leaner than today's over all and we all know why.

Thank you for sharing these amazing coloured pictures of that golden age!!! Women got rid of the corsets for ever. Art Deco, cinema, dry law, l Iove this period of time!!!!
Hi Vintage Treasures, this vid really bring's the Roaring 20s back to life, great colour and music plus lot's of well chosen content, thank you. Best wishes and Success for 2024 to yourself,loved ones and fellow viewers ❤❤❤.
The color is amazing. I wonder how much time and dedication it takes you to make the pics look the way they do. So thank you for sharing. Had to check out the color pics of the 1920s. I love the fashion of both the women and men of those times. From clothes, shoes, hats, and hair styles. I wonder if I can get away with wearing today. Hmmmm .....maybe😊
I was born in 1980 my grandparents were born in 1918 and 1924 , it’s incredible to think these women were likely born in the 1880s and 90s to be young adults in 1920 . My grandparents were mier children in this time it seams like such a long time yet oddly familiar at the same time and in hindsight when someone in the year 2500 looks back at this time he will see someone born in 1880 and 1980 like me as part of the same era . I now get the meaning or “row row row your boat gentle down the stream merely merely life is but a dream.
Wonderful job! Fantastic colorization which really brings the feeling of the era to life. We have gained some things in the last 100 years but we have lost a whole lot too!
oh yes it was all great - forget the racism and homophobia (the audacity to tell people where to sit and what well to use and what consenting adults they could have sex with etc).
Nice photos and at the same time it saddens me that at festivals or other celebrations I don’t see people of color participating. The 1920s was my grandma’s time. She faced a lot of struggles coming to the mainland from Hawaii. RIP Grandma.
And now that they have, none of those festivals are safe, one demographic is responsible for these problems, and they are all shutting down. It’s not a pleasant reality but it is real. They are telling people they cant go to spring break in Florida, and Mardi Gras is very restricted, and most of the beaches and former nightlife areas have curfews or are very risky to even drive around now. Unfortunately we are not in a utopia, in fact your Grandma would be far more at a physical risk now than she was discomforted then.
Great Band, the piano player sounds suspiciously ahead of his time. Those George Shearing block chords we’re not being used during the 1920s, it sounds absolutely cool but it is a touch out of place here! Still I love it and the song is absolutely off the charts!
I’m sorry, what exactly do you mean? I enjoy these photographs so much, but you’re implying that me, my parents, even my grandparents aren’t real people? That’s absurd. Times change. For better or worse. But we are as real as the people depicted in these photographs. Try and appreciate all of it. Don’t you consider you and yours real people?
Such a nice recollection. The older I get, the more I want to reach out and revive these souls. Then reality sinks in; can you imagine how long we would have lasted globally if the species wouldn't cancel itself out for the next generation to enjoy life. I hate the thought of personal death, but wish nothing but good tidings for those who come after.
@@mkkuusisto6222 Like minded , that look at the past for guidance, should all unite and form a new nation based on the best of our past. Keep time and culture at a standstill, if you don't like it you can leave for another land. Protect such a land with a strong nuclear deterrent.
Normal figures back then too. It seems people have forgotten what real women actually looked like. Today's standard requires body modification and cosmetic surgery to be beautiful and desirable.
Your period-matching music makes your site a cut above other vintage sites that don’t have that synchronicity which adds so very much to the overall (great) presentation! Well done !
@user-wh5ir4fo4r No everyone was not thin but the overwhelming majority were. I know because I am old enough to remember. American's started getting heavier in the 1980's.
@@gaylemalone5897 YOU ARE WRONG Malone!!. No one was overweight in my family going back to the early 1900's. Now my grandfather(born 1900) was a little heavy in his 70's but not much. Obviously you know nothing of vintage clothing. Its difficult to find men's jackets pre 1960's in 44 or larger. I am a weightlifter and I have a pretty big chest at over 46" but a thin waist(I weigh a little under 200 pounds), I like vintage leather jackets(Buco, Beck & others) but its nearly impossible to find ones that ever would fit. Size 38 to 40 were the most common larger sizes pre 1960's. Even in the 1970's like 85% of the populace was thin. Malone search UA-cam here for concerts in the 1960's or 70's or even a Trans Am race and see for your self.
Strange to say, but my experience viewing images from the 1840s to the 1960s gave me the impression that human beings lived in a "black and white" world. There is peculiar kind of "gravity" that this bestows on that era. And yet, they are precisely the same people we are with respect to DNA. Give us more black and white, it's beautiful, too.
Gosh so nice to see clear skin and normal body weights, no self mutilation tattoos or mega face/ear piercings, no ear plugs or synthetic fingernails, no bizarre bleached out hair with pink or purple, ripped up jeans or fat rolls hanging out with bras and underwear showing. Our country is so messed up right now
Don't forget about polio, though. People smoked a lot back then, too. And factories sent chemicals and smoke straight into the air, unabated. But by and large, it was a much calmer, happier time, and people were generally quite decent to each other.
That was my great-uncle in the Pullman worker photo, the one in the middle, smiling into the camera, apparently in a moment of rare downtime allowing for brief relaxation in what was otherwise such a demanding job. That job was the gateway for many escaping poverty to enter the middle class. My uncle had an ethic of service which was both appreciated by the Pullman train company and expected: service with a smile. Actually, reflecting on this, probably it wasn't my great-uncle, because I never had any relatives that worked for Pullman, and the people in the photo have no resemblance to any relatives that I'm aware of. But the history of the Pullman workers is actually very fascinating, and the career's role in changing the lives of many from the Old South (my family never lived in that region; my ancestors came to NY as immigrants from Eastern Europe, early 20th century) is an important part of American social history and culture and demographics, affecting many thousands of families in a very positive way.
the pictures have a different appeal to them being in color also people looked more peaceful and relaxed and enjoyed what they were doing compared to now time! thanks for sharing these.
This background selection of music certainly is not 1920s jazz… it’s more towards modern jazz, which started in the mid-late ‘40s with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie etc and consolidated as such in the ‘50s onwards with ‘new influencers’ such as Miles Davis. The background music playing in this video is recently composed and recorded in the style of 1950s modern jazz.

Some of best colorization I've seen, great job. No one is overweight here either, if anything everyone looks to be pretty good shape versus us today.
Everyone was classy looking 🥰🙌
I once owned a house that was built in 1921, these photos feel so right for it and has made my experience with it so much deeper … thank you !
Thank you for sharing these amazing coloured pictures of that golden age!!! Women got rid of the corsets for ever. Art Deco, cinema, dry law, l Iove this period of time!!!!
No one has a tattoo. Looks like psychologically these were healthy people.
Hi Vintage Treasures, this vid really bring's the Roaring 20s back to life, great colour and music plus lot's of well chosen content, thank you. Best wishes and Success for 2024 to yourself,loved ones and fellow viewers ❤❤❤.
Wonderful old fotos, masterfully recreated...Thank You !
The food big brother is feeding us is making us sick,obese and cutting our lifespans
Big brother is this case is the corporate food monopoly.
But you know you do not have to buy factory made food. Eat less too.
The more I watch these kinds of videos the more I realise this is going to happen to me, all of us. Nameless faces on a screen.
not me. - i'm going to be a star
and people are going to love me
and travel far and wide to hear me speak
Great job! Captures the era very well.
The jazz touch us great
The color is amazing. I wonder how much time and dedication it takes you to make the pics look the way they do. So thank you for sharing. Had to check out the color pics of the 1920s. I love the fashion of both the women and men of those times. From clothes, shoes, hats, and hair styles. I wonder if I can get away with wearing today. Hmmmm .....maybe😊
Great job colorizing… thanks so much❤
I was born in 1980 my grandparents were born in 1918 and 1924 , it’s incredible to think these women were likely born in the 1880s and 90s to be young adults in 1920 . My grandparents were mier children in this time it seams like such a long time yet oddly familiar at the same time and in hindsight when someone in the year 2500 looks back at this time he will see someone born in 1880 and 1980 like me as part of the same era . I now get the meaning or “row row row your boat gentle down the stream merely merely life is but a dream.
Very well done Sir! Thanks for your work! Amazing....
Wonderful job! Fantastic colorization which really brings the feeling of the era to life. We have gained some things in the last 100 years but we have lost a whole lot too!
The way they presented and carried themselves was self-respect and pride, unlike these days.
*You should watch a movie or read books from that era and then come back and revise your comment.* LOL
Uniformity ignorance and societal pressure you mean! No thanks.
theres lots and lots of pride today - we even have parades all the time...
society changes, styles change, people change, get over it.
oh yes it was all great - forget the racism and homophobia (the audacity to tell people where to sit and what well to use and what consenting adults they could have sex with etc).
Nice photos and at the same time it saddens me that at festivals or other celebrations I don’t see people of color participating. The 1920s was my grandma’s time. She faced a lot of struggles coming to the mainland from Hawaii. RIP Grandma.
And now that they have, none of those festivals are safe, one demographic is responsible for these problems, and they are all shutting down. It’s not a pleasant reality but it is real. They are telling people they cant go to spring break in Florida, and Mardi Gras is very restricted, and most of the beaches and former nightlife areas have curfews or are very risky to even drive around now. Unfortunately we are not in a utopia, in fact your Grandma would be far more at a physical risk now than she was discomforted then.
Great Band, the piano player sounds suspiciously ahead of his time. Those George Shearing block chords we’re not being used during the 1920s, it sounds absolutely cool but it is a touch out of place here! Still I love it and the song is absolutely off the charts!
I was born in 1925. And im still here? 😁
Great photos (along with written newspaper narratives) and equally great music...that's a rare picture of Duke Kahanamoku....thank you!
When people were real people.
I’m sorry, what exactly do you mean? I enjoy these photographs so much, but you’re implying that me, my parents, even my grandparents aren’t real people? That’s absurd. Times change. For better or worse. But we are as real as the people depicted in these photographs. Try and appreciate all of it. Don’t you consider you and yours real people?
@@eleanorestes2473 No, I'm just a bot.
@@bukeksiansu2112haha! Fair enough.
@@eleanorestes2473 Keep save and healthy for you and fam. God bless you all.
The people in the video may have been "real", but the two A. I. generated click bait girls used for this were totally fake.
Спасибо за качественную работу ! Получила огромное удовольствие от просмотра.
sad to realize that a lot of these folks have passed on. R.I.P.
Who knew blue was such a popular color in the 1920s? Other than that, very nicely done.
you did a great job restoring those photos some of the best work I've seen in a long time I look forward to your next video
Just about everyone looks fit and lively! Great job with the photos!
good job with the coloring of the photos, very impressive.
Such a nice recollection. The older I get, the more I want to reach out and revive these souls. Then reality sinks in; can you imagine how long we would have lasted globally if the species wouldn't cancel itself out for the next generation to enjoy life. I hate the thought of personal death, but wish nothing but good tidings for those who come after.
1:27 I love the big sign in the back that says 'cash talks' 😁
Still does!
I loved the way things were in glass, bring back glass ❤ thanks, very well done
Pretty girls back then!
Yes not like the fake today. Nothing like natural beauty
@@mkkuusisto6222 Like minded , that look at the past for guidance, should all unite and form a new nation based on the best of our past. Keep time and culture at a standstill, if you don't like it you can leave for another land. Protect such a land with a strong nuclear deterrent.
Normal figures back then too. It seems people have forgotten what real women actually looked like. Today's standard requires body modification and cosmetic surgery to be beautiful and desirable.
Some great images there.
Your period-matching music makes your site a cut above other vintage sites that don’t have that synchronicity which adds so very much to the overall (great) presentation! Well done !
The music in this video is from the 1950', not the 20'.
True@@dougs78records64
The picture of all traffic being stopped to allow the dog and its pup cross the street is something!
the mama cat with her baby ❤❤❤❤❤
You did amazing!! The girls in the thumbnail were SO SO beautiful!!
Nobody was obese.
Fast food wasn’t as prevalent. People ate real food at home
People are all sizes and shapes back then just like they are now I don’t understand why that’s even an issue
@user-wh5ir4fo4r A few who were a bit overweight. But nothing like the Blimps that you see everywhere in the US today.
@user-wh5ir4fo4r No everyone was not thin but the overwhelming majority were. I know because I am old enough to remember. American's started getting heavier in the 1980's.
@@gaylemalone5897 YOU ARE WRONG Malone!!. No one was overweight in my family going back to the early 1900's. Now my grandfather(born 1900) was a little heavy in his 70's but not much. Obviously you know nothing of vintage clothing. Its difficult to find men's jackets pre 1960's in 44 or larger. I am a weightlifter and I have a pretty big chest at over 46" but a thin waist(I weigh a little under 200 pounds), I like vintage leather jackets(Buco, Beck & others) but its nearly impossible to find ones that ever would fit. Size 38 to 40 were the most common larger sizes pre 1960's. Even in the 1970's like 85% of the populace was thin. Malone search UA-cam here for concerts in the 1960's or 70's or even a Trans Am race and see for your self.
Strange to say, but my experience viewing images from the 1840s to the 1960s gave me the impression that human beings lived in a "black and white" world. There is peculiar kind of "gravity" that this bestows on that era. And yet, they are precisely the same people we are with respect to DNA. Give us more black and white, it's beautiful, too.
How our days will look like in future 2120 year.
My all time favorite era. Love it. Beautifully done.
Gosh so nice to see clear skin and normal body weights, no self mutilation tattoos or mega face/ear piercings, no ear plugs or synthetic fingernails, no bizarre bleached out hair with pink or purple, ripped up jeans or fat rolls hanging out with bras and underwear showing. Our country is so messed up right now
Seeing this brings life into the past, makes it more interesting then the colorless photos.
Stunning video, shame there are no sub titles for each photo.
Yes pity😒😒
Fantastic job. I really enjoyed this. When I watched it I actually played 1920s music in the background. Added just a nice finishing touch.
Knowing what I know now, if I could pick a decade to live in it would be the 50s. I remember it when I was a youngster.😅😅
Don't forget about polio, though. People smoked a lot back then, too. And factories sent chemicals and smoke straight into the air, unabated. But by and large, it was a much calmer, happier time, and people were generally quite decent to each other.
Polio was ddt poisoning
Except for minorities.@@Tubes12AX7k
That was my great-uncle in the Pullman worker photo, the one in the middle, smiling into the camera, apparently in a moment of rare downtime allowing for brief relaxation in what was otherwise such a demanding job. That job was the gateway for many escaping poverty to enter the middle class. My uncle had an ethic of service which was both appreciated by the Pullman train company and expected: service with a smile.
Actually, reflecting on this, probably it wasn't my great-uncle, because I never had any relatives that worked for Pullman, and the people in the photo have no resemblance to any relatives that I'm aware of. But the history of the Pullman workers is actually very fascinating, and the career's role in changing the lives of many from the Old South (my family never lived in that region; my ancestors came to NY as immigrants from Eastern Europe, early 20th century) is an important part of American social history and culture and demographics, affecting many thousands of families in a very positive way.
39 seconds,back right,think that could well be Jack Johnson the first black world heavyweight boxing champion.
the pictures have a different appeal to them being in color also people looked more peaceful and relaxed and enjoyed what they were doing compared to now time! thanks for sharing these.
I subscribed but captions would add to our enjoyment!
There’s a link at the beginning of the Comment section to a version with descriptions. 🙂
I loved that they showed Duke Kahanamoku "The Big Kahuna", Godfather of american surfing on here!
There wasn’t any Government Welfare System. Everyone had to pull their own weight. So I’ve been told. Racism was in full swing.
thumbnail worked on me, I fell for it
2020's a 100 years now
Love your content. Can you do old photos of Puerto Rico?
Where were the two babes? Click bait apparently.
Bingo.
Beautiful
This background selection of music certainly is not 1920s jazz… it’s more towards modern jazz, which started in the mid-late ‘40s with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie etc and consolidated as such in the ‘50s onwards with ‘new influencers’ such as Miles Davis. The background music playing in this video is recently composed and recorded in the style of 1950s modern jazz.
Looks like fun 🤩
