![[60 fps] A Trip Through the Streets of Amsterdam, 1922](/img/n.gif)
Some of the older people in this clip met individuals who were born in the 1700s when they were younger. Some of the younger ones heard The Beatles
I find those contextualized sentence mind blowing. For us human even a time frame of 100 years is so huge so to see you put into perspective a person of the 1700 all the way to the Beetles is amazing. 300 years of history in one comment.
Now that is just incredible to consider.
It is an interesting thing to think about. If you were born in 1995 then the oldest person alive at that time would've been Jeanne Louise Calment who was born in 1875 (who would've been alive during the recording of this film). If you live for 81 years then you'll pass away in 2076. Now imagine someone born in 2075 and will live for 125 years (which may be likely as medical science improves) then that person will pass away in 2200.
So in your lifetime, there will people living in both 1875 and 2200 which directly connects you to 325 years of history despite only being alive for 81 years.
This one person's lifetime contains people that experienced the Victorian lifestyle and people that will go on to experience an unfathomable futuristic world.
This is all so confusing 😨

@@gurditrehal3348 Some people were born when their fathers were old. Three Generations of that can produce surprising result.
They stare into the camera, having no idea people from a century later are staring back.
Nothing is better than your comment
Solid comment
Like mine
@Sharron Clark I got your point, but you're being gracious with poor and poorer. What a f*cked up zeitgeist to be in. All things considered, many of us are having a many fold better existence.
와 지렸다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The kids are fascinated by this new technology but most of the adults shy away from it. Some things never change
😂😂😂😂
The children being silly making faces at the camera. So innocent and adorable. Wonderful smiling faces. Can't help but smile back.
the same kids sadly will go fighting during WWI ...
they wont be smiling for long 1914 is around the corner
The one behavior that hasn't changed: people goofing around in front of the camera.
I wonder how the Camera looked like they seem to give quite a stare at it If you ask me they must not see a camera alot imagine if they seen the technology we have now it would blow their minds how this world changed
SenyuHero basically looked like a giant camera lolz
Bullshit. You get punched if you film people nowadays.
Lol

"Those poor children workers had no childhood"
Considering a good part of them probably died in WW1, they had no adulthood either.
No childhood or adulthood
Makes you wonder what they lived for
who knows what future people will say about our small children if corona mutates in a monster ...
They probably had a better childhood than most these days.... No junk food, computer games etc Just coal dust and whisky
childhood or not, they are better dress for sure. look at them style!
Armoured Rat bruh y u hating on everybody take a chill pill and relax while u enjoy this video
It’s hard to imagine that these people actually existed a hundred years ago. No one knew that two world wars will brake out during their time. Some of them died during the First World War, some on the second. A lot has changed in just one century. There’s a lot to take in from this video. Thanks.
I know, it's weird. Every single person you see in that video is a real person just going about their life. These aren't actors, or cartoons - these are just normal, everyday people. This is what their world looked like. And a lot of them lost their lives not many years after this was taken.
If we ever invented time travel, I would love to just go back to older periods of human history and ask: What is your life like?
It will be great if they get similar footage from Egypt. Will be great to see the pyramids being built and the pharohs(?) enjoying life

you know what is really weird? i see dutch people outside en i see them everywhere

And many of them killed soon, in the IWW
I was just about to comment about that myself. This was almost 120 years ago. It's crazy!!!
I can't believe all those faces are dead today. They would have never imagined that in 2020 some random peruvian guy sitting at his COMPUTER at 11pm would be watching them with awe.
@DATING HARLEY QUINN imagine.
Some people in this film is alive just older than every single comment and creater on here
@@b-ballkidvlogz9944 do you know anyone from this footage being 119 year old right now ?
@@Veckler Yes and he is not a British.
There was a couple babies, who theoretically could be alive today...a lot more probable in the year 2000...imagine, most of those young boys got mutilated in France 15 yrs later
This is amazing. At 4:59 in the bottom right of the screen there are 2 friends walking from the workhouse who, to seemingly entertain themselves, decide to start punching the shit out of each other. These people were hard as nails... the children have the aire and comport of grown men. Their eyes are disturbingly world weary for such tender years...
Mad to think all these people are long dead... feels like we are staring at legions of ghosts and they are staring right back at the future
As history buff and gamer, I wish in the future they'd make VR of you walking around in the 1900s and see how it was back then.
And then use this footage for it?
That would be fascinating. There wouldn't need to be any 'missions'. Just walking around the streets with sound and visuals. Someone clever do it now 😞
I love how everyone starts smiling immediatly when they realise that they are being filmed

So much White Privilege in display
@@katovomkozies feel bad for you mate.
This is 1,000,000 times better than any book or lecture, you feel infinitely closer to the people in the film, chances are that some of us watching are even related to them and I think it's really nice that all these people are immortalised in such a way!
What’s crazy do me is how everyone in this footage is no longer here. I’m hoping more videos like this keep circulating around.
And I see also that English people were really proud of their empire for some greatness but on videos you can see poor labours with acting and faces not highest IQ. I don't mean to be mean, it really striking that how brainwashing can make people proud. I guess it was only empire for royalty, the rest was living not so good
Also we are lucky that we can see on film exactly how things were 120 plus years ago whereas they would not have been able to.
And one day our generation won't be here either.
@@nayd.p7999 No shit Sherlock
Same will be said about us
Almost every child looks like a mini adult.
Ik probably they didn't eat healthy or stress so much 🤷🏽♂️
well they were...the kids went to work in factories because no child labor laws.
at that time children's fashion was for rich people and for the people the clothes were always the same model either man or woman with some variation so they look almost the same
The Dark Knight Because as soon as they are born they were acquainted with the life of the grown man, working in the factories from an infant age. There was no such a thing as a "childhood" we know today.
They had to grow up faster back in the days.
This feels like two audiences observing each other across time. One from 1901 England staring through the strange device at the one that is worldwide from 2021, who are staring back through their own devices.
Surreal
Omgg yess
120 years apart
That's so well put - I'm glad I'm on this side of the temporal fence.
Underrated comment
Sooo much anxiety watching this video , it’s crazy to think that each and every one in this video is no longer alive . To have the footage from that time period and to be watching it in the very distant future is beyond Amazing and definitely unimaginable. Thank you For this Piece of Gem 💎 of history . To witness a time period we never will experience , I’m forever grateful to be living .
Imagine for a moment that someone in these videos could have an email address. My great grandfather was born in 1901 and when he passed in 2002 he was on the internet.
A lot of those youngsters went on to fight in WW1.Imagine the horrors those poor kids had seen thought out their lives. Bless them
@SharkTank Leave
Many them died in WWI
Thought or through, which was the word you intended?
@@shadowjack8oh no! The grammar Gestapo are out in force 😂😂😂yawn...zzzx
So crazy what that generation lived through…WW1, plague, WW2. The sheer amount of death which took place around the world from like 1914-1950 is staggering.
The Austrian Painter was only 12 when this was originally filmed.
Frank Buckles was born the same year this was filmed. He died in 2011 at the age of 110. He was the last American world war 1 veteran.
The adults are all like "I want to be in this, but I don't want to look like I want to be in this"
Crazy when you realise how many of these kids would have ended up in the trenches in WW1
yes and all for nothing!!!
I see...another white rose...good
Or in the Titanic
Crazier that they would be working before then as children
@@now591 not exactly

It also shows how little matters who you are, what you have or need, and what you're going through right now.
You will be completely forgotten in the next 100 years and there is almost nothing you can do about that.
There´s only today and a little bit of tomorrow to enjoy...
This is so fascinating, all these people didnt know that they are looking straight into the faces of people who are living 120 years after them, so epic
Wow
The crazy part is people 120 years later are going to look back to our UA-cam Video's livestreams etc etc..

That’s the sad part of it.Little did they know what was coming.
Janice Granville The world is turning itself inside out about this pandemic, but could you imaging living through the world wars.
~100,000 people have died due to COVID19 in 4 months in America.
~500,000 soldiers died during the 3 month long Battle of Passchendaele along with 850,000 casualties.
~300,000 soldiers died during the Battle of the Somme, with ~19,000 British dying on the first day. In total ~1,300,000 casualties.
Bless them.
I wonder when people started saying, "you know what, I'm not wearing a hat any more"
I'd say late 40's
Basically when people started using cars, before then people walked, it rains a lot, so you put on a hat, it wasn't an overnight thing but as more and more people had cars, more and more people didn't feel the need to wear then anymore.
The 60's
This made me laugh probably more than it should have.
😂😂😂
Thank you for this footage wow amazing
The variance in size and height especially is amazing
Just realise the fact that all young people in this footage with a curious look looks exactly like we all watching this video. )
True that, this video mesmerises me
Возможно люди будущего тоже будут на нас смотреть так.
I would imagine a lot of these boys and men died in WW1.
Indeed, though one lad at 4:21 ish sticks two fingers up, which if you're not British is the same as giving the finger everywhere else
@@swfcocs1 I kind of guessed that by his look, but what really surprises me is that - according to Wikipedia - sir Winston was totally unaware of that as late as in 1942. Which is even more surprising considering he had been running the Home Office for almost a year.

This footage leaves me with a lot of questions, life is so mysterious...knowing that these people are all gone, and we who are watching this in this era will be gone not very long time from now. We can learn one thing though, that we need not to worry about so many things after all everything seems to be vanity.
All those kids just looked like tiny old people.
And now they are dead people.
Not surprising. Working class children were forced into labor as soon as they could be, even as young as 4 years old. Naturally they'd look 'grizzled' and 'worn' before they're even teenagers, especially since they worked long hours too. Just as much as the adults. All that plus poor nutrition and hygiene.
Idk why but, for me I always find Caucasian guys in this era more attractive than now 😅 the kids are very cute and charming
YES!!! i was like why do they move so adult like. that was intense conditioning of hardship
GIwillo no no they look very mature one child looked like a 45 year old man
Probably most of the young boys in this film had to witness the horrors of the trenches years later.

See that kid flicking the V's at 4:23? That's the first ever documented incident of someone using that hand gesture. I read it on Wikipedia!
"The first unambiguous evidence of the use of the insulting V sign in the United Kingdom dates to 1901, when a worker outside Parkgate ironworks in Rotherham used the gesture (captured on the film) to indicate that he did not like being filmed."
(The idea that bowman in the middle ages flicked the V at their enemies to prove that they can still fire arrows is apocryphal.)
Well, Wiki may not always be the most reliable source, but regardless it blew my fucking mind reading that.
Amazing, thanks for this tidbit.
kid looked aggressive as fuck lol
Looks like he's saying "Piss off." haha

When I started work in a care home aged 16 in 1985, there were several residents over 100 years. Eldest was 105, so born in 1880. He'd be 21 here. It really is mind blowing the changes they must have seen. I feel privileged to have spent time with them
I used to look after a bloke who was 106 when he died born 1906 George Nicholson he was called used to think when helping him get ready all the memories he would've had from growing up in the 1910s and 1920s.
I’m 1990 when I was 3 my gma was 100- that would have made her around 11 then. She lived a little longer than that so hearing stories back then I just couldn’t comprehend. I still can’t in my older age how amazing it is to see how time flies yet seems so far away
My great great grandmother was born in 1885 and lived to 1983, she was a slave . My great grandmother born 1926 lived to 1992, she wasn’t a slave but she had to pick cotton as a kid. My grandmother born 1960 is currently still living I love to hear all the stories she tells about her mom and grandmother, only just about 30 years ago they were still here , this was not a very long time ago as there’s many people living past 100

Yes. People look humble
That is simply erie. They look like they had a rough life but they seem happier than many people today. I guess because they had a lot less free time to fret over pronouns or cook up more reasons to be a victim.
They're all dead now which is the weirdest thought
The best part of this film is No I-Phones. People are actually looking up and are aware of their surroundings.
People acted so different back then, no question that technology has altered behaviourism

3:49 (following the camera)
4:16 (smiling at camera on the right)
4:50 (walking away from the camera)
5:19 (bottom right corner)
That boy was following the camera all day.
I think he may have been related to someone associated with the filming. He looks smartly dressed compared to the other children.
Good catch!
İ've noticed too.
His behaviour towards the camera seems almost professional. If he was a local who dressed up in his Sunday best and followed the camera all day you would think he would fool around a bit , pull a face here and there, but his manner does suggest he was with the film crew.
Maybe he was related to the camera man.
The clips look like they were taken on different days.
I get an odd feeling that they're staring into the future at us as much we're staring at them in the past. They seem completely captivated by this strange thing called a camera!
That´s very poetic...well put. My sentiments exactly
Cameras back then were massive so im not surprised
And many of them would die in the 1st & subsequently called for a decade &1/2 the last war. From either trench warfare, mustard gas or the various diseases that spread so quickly in the trenches including the Spanish Flu. But the youth in 1901 sure look like they knew the new century was going to be fantastic.
Deep words💔😔👌🏼
Yes!
And to think some of the kids, would fight in WWI, WWII come back to the Great Depression and still work. These kids would have worked and lived a thousand lifetimes of pain while we sit here and just watch.
It will be crazy that 100 years from now, people in the 2100s will be looking at videos of us now and having the same reaction. Not to mention looking at these vintage videos too (200 years ago). Crazy!
When your grandfather told you, at your age he was already working, literally.
My Father started work at 14, my Grandfather started work at 10.....These days it would be called child exploitation.
I’m not that old and I started working at 8. I raised 14 acres of corn. Dad was busy so he had me do it. I worked every summer from then on, either on our place or with others. At 13 I was living in a hotel room with three other guys who were about 18 while working on a hay crew. That was about 40 years ago is all.

@@caligariwulf788 Sadly wars exist for a reason to reflect what we are as a human being. If we ever didn't have wars, human beings ceases to exist.
I was thinking that myself.
Unfortunately, probably a great many. I'll admit I thought the same thing as you.
That was my exact same thought too.
Someone needs to show Sadiq Khan this
Everyone is so fascinated with the camera in this video. Nowadays, it's more like, "You don't have permission to record me!"
Their clothes for today's standards make them look stylish, even the children
really ? not backwards?
I'd say more of SMOKING SEXY SYTLE !!!
@@shadowshadow2724 Backwards?Srsly?bruh people these days just wear t-shirts and plain clothing on the streets.In the video,even the children wear suits and vests lmao
@@Martin-km4sl Those were the older ladies. The younger ones wore loose fitting dresses. Non-provocative but still really pretty.
@@Martin-km4sl It was known , at least at one time, as 'modesty' wear, but the woollen scarves covering the head and shoulders were also protection against moving machinery parts as all women had long hair, even though it was worn up a lot of the time. Also, the scarves provided warm protection from the biting winter winds and rain. So a dual function really.
there's something incredibly otherworldly about this. i've dreamed of time travel all my life, as i'm sure many people have, and this is the closest thing to it that i've ever experienced.
Meditate harder.
i know what you mean...i get mesmerized looking at videos like this. good to know im not alone.
I agree it is like time travel. Absolutely fascinating. My grandfather was six at the time so theoretically he could have been in a film like this. They had such crap clothes, especially the trousers. Life was tough for the poor.
Old 19th century stereoviews are a great way of time travelling as well, so long as your eyes can work with them.
What r you smoking?
This is the very END OF VICTORIAN ENGLAND. She died in 1901. Then it was the Edwardian era. Amazing footage 👏
Living in 2023, often I long to have lived in a time with no social media or email, as it keeps sowing divisions between us as humans. It may have seemed like a simpler time back then. Writing letters, reading newspapers and just being out in nature, reading a book. However, imagine catching smallpox, the flu, or needing penicillin. Even with classism, it was still prominent in those times. I guess it's all relative to the times. Learning to appreciate life as it is right now.
There have always been divisions sown between humans, even back in this era. There was still a lot of political toxicity back then too, and believe it or not social justice warriors and anti social justice warriors existed too. It just took a different form.
The profundity of this footage, for me at least, is how recognisable all the faces are - the reactions, the expressions, the stares. "Victorian England" feels so alien as a concept, like a different world. But no, it's the same world, with the same people feeling the same things as I do. People are the same as ever.
Depends on what you mean by “the same”. In Uxbridge shopping area (Boris’ constituency) today I would say only 10 percent of the very busy place were white British.
Don’t kid yourself we’re the same. I don’t think you’ll ever know how it feels to pick which of your children will have to become a prostitute so that the others will have food in the table.
@@oldman1734 A significant number of these people would’ve been the children of Irish migrant workers.
@@markofsaltburn. I’m not sure of the significance of your comment.
Same as I thought, people’s emotions don’t change
Why do I find this addictive? I’m fascinated by it, as fascinated as they are seeing the camera. It truly feels like time travel, like we’re looking at each other.
ME TOO...
Because the Time not exist perhaps..
It's very hypnotic. I suppose because of its elusiveness.
Yes!!! It's crazy to think that they had no idea their lives for a moment would be archived and watched by people all over the world on their own little devices more than a century later.
me to same thought
Most boring comment possible ? "Everyone in this video now dead"
They're all winners of the Captain Obvious award.
My family payed above average wage for our servants on the estate in 1901.Loyalty to the family was important all treated very good.They were treated part of our family and their family are still with us today.
Vc tem parentes nestas filmagens??
The crazy thing is, watching all those boys laugh and point at the camera, you have to wonder which of them would end up dying in WW1. This would be the first and maybe last time their faces would be seen through a lens.
My grandfathers 4 uncles died in British army in WW1. They were Irish Catholics and a few years later the British army were fighting the Irish in the war of independence
wow JUST WHAT I WERE THINKING!
Wow. Deep 👌🏽
I was thinking the exact same thing, many would have enlisted and probably died fighting...
I thought the exact same thing. They have no idea what awaits them.
1901: How old are you kid?
Kid: Twelve.
1901: Good. Here, have this cap, a cigarette and rest your hands on your vest's pockets.
Kid: Thanks Zodiac stealer man!
Waistcoat ... they're English. A vest would be underwear.
Waist coat. Not vest.
1901, thirteen years later their world would end but they didn't know it yet.
Many of the teenagers seen in this video will have died in the mud of the Somme.
When the weather not as extreme right now
Imagine telling these people at the time that in the year 2020 people would watch this
@@c7uk yeah some dodgy phrasing there lmao
mdhs 😁 Maybe you just missed “on miniature handheld picture-houses” at the end 😉
Some of us watching them on mobile phones too. 😂
What if I told you 100 years from now, a new generation would be reading through these very comments we are submitting today?
@@1LuvMLPFiM What if I told you 100 years from now, a new generation wouldn't give two poops about these very comments we are submitting today?
what I find amazing about all these old videos is the way people dressed back then. Almost every male person is wearing a suit, even little kids are wearing a 3 piece suit.
There was no such thing as children's clothes back then unless it was for the rich or babies. It was just different sizes of the same clothes.
The clothes are pretty grubby and everyone probably smelled pretty bad since clothes were only washed once a week. Most of the women are wearing large aprons to protect their clothes and I'm guessing that those were washed and changed more frequently.
I have noticed that most women were wearing head scarf like Muslims women do.
most forbidden documentary.,. Europa The Last Battle at archive . org
And women are all dressed up modestly
Is odd to think that everyone in this video is dead, even the kids, even the babies. Time is cruel.
At 1:49
That one woman, holding her scarf looks so happy. I wonder what happened, but it must be good❤
"Mom, I can't find my hat." "Yeah, you're just gonna have to stay inside then."
t s 😂😂
Yeah. In my country, it would now be: "Mom, I can't find my face mask." "Yeah, you're just gonna have to stay inside, then." We have been facing the coronavirus and the people that we can see in the video were facing the Spanish fever about 17 years later. And their grandparents had been facing cholera and the grandparents' grandparents had been facing the plague. It seems there is a pandemic every third generation or so... I wonder what our grandchildren or great-grandchildren will have to face...
Dana Patricia Mary my guess they’ll face Zombie Virus 🦠
Corona viruses
The fact everyone just stares at you really makes you feel like you travelled back in time and they are all scared but curious of this person who looks so different than everyone else
Lol thats what Ive been thinking
Sad thing is that most of them or all of them are dead
@@dmv_jmoney3446 no shit lol
I think part of why they stand so still and stare is that they're used to having to be very still to get their picture taken and they've probably never heard of video before and can't quite wrap their head around it.
@@dmv_jmoney3446 Gee, what an original thought.
My boy was accidentally making the first recorded AD.
Modesty of the women is astonishing
I love the way that kid at 3:07 is posing
Youll never see anyone pose like that unironically ever again.
@Fahim Hussain if that kid were his grandfather, the commenter would be old af
David Bowie and Scott Weiland
Lol then you haven’t met zoomers
Kidnapping by Indians was the first Western film produced in 1899 in England so its very possible that he saw the movie and wanted to act like a cowboy
Jojo pose
In before HOLY SHIT IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE?!?!
The most interesting thing I take away is how people react to being filmed. Such curiosity displayed by many of them, and caution by others.
They always look confused as hell, like most of them think that they are taking a picture
I've been in India and Africa. They've behave in the same way.
😂
@justice start YES EXACTLY
We look the the same when a google streetview car drives by.
