Please do better. Your music choices are incredibly wrong for these photos. And I have pointed out six historically inaccurate captions and one that is deplorably badly written. There are a lot of channels like yours. You really need to step up your artistic due diligence or you are going to be avoided.
This was a nice way to end the weekend. The 1899 photo of Fifth Avenue makes me feel homesick for a time and place I have never been. Thank you, very much.
@@dmtm1111The problem is they write the captions for these videos so quickly they don’t bother with copy-editing them , let alone hire an editor who knows what year the Wright Brothers first took off.
Not even a battleship! In 1899, the USS New York in service was the Armoured Cruiser (CA-2) which sailed on until 1946. The first aircraft carrier USS Langley (CV-1), a conversion, went into service in 1922. I shan't even mention why no aircraft carrier was commissioned at the early date of1899! I'm a Brit and certainly not a naval historian. Come on boys, (and girls), buck up!! 🤣
@@Griffinmc Dozens of eyewitnesses, including journalists who reported on it in newspapers, saw Gustave Whitehead flying in 1901. There were only two eyewitnesses to the Wright brothers' flight in 1903, themselves.
At the 3-minute point, there is an item re: "1899 aboard the aircraft carrier, etc. That'd be tough to do since the airplane was not invented until 1903. Also, just prior to that, there is what looks to be a 1908 model T in a picture that also states 1899. There are some GREAT photos here, but as to the indicated dates on some of these..... Well, they're off a bit.
Just a couple of cute things first though if I absolutely love these photos, I think I’ve told you that before it looks like it took so much work and patience to compile this collection. I absolutely love it, but I didn’t notice a few funny things the little boy covering his mouth And share surprise when they were hauling off the wine in the one picture was very funny and also having a candy store next to the tent this office would be an epic fail picture in today’s world not to mention how beautiful the illegal immigrants coming over my goodness are they ready to apply For fifth Avenue jobs for a cry of what is coming over nowadays, but I don’t want to get too much into that now I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Lovely photos, our ancestors could be among those people in the pictures!! Even the 1980's seem nostalgic at this point... Who knows how NYC will look like in 2124 😦Time travel machine anyone??
I've been to so many of the streets and intersections in Manhattan shown here. I never knew that the Bowery had a train running along it. Some of the buildings are still in use today especially at Broad and Wall Streets. A lot of the Fifth Avenue pictures show either St. Thomas Episcopal Church or Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
FWIW it wasn't a train on Broadway, it was a cable-car system like the one that still runs in San Francisco. It can be hard to see but there's an opening between the rails where the cars' operators would lower a gripper to hold onto the moving cable. Cable systems, esp. in cities with frequent bad weather, proved to be expensive and tough to maintain. Most of them were shut down in the first decades of the 20th C. San Francisco only has 3 lines left, saved mostly as moving tourist attractions. Source: NYCSubway history site.
3:10 Pretty amazing that they were having a boxing match on an "aircraft carrier" in 1899 Considering that the Wright Brothers wouldn't make the first powered flight for another 4 years (1903), and the first actual aircraft carrier wouldn't be commissioned until 1922 (USS Langley) ...And there's never been an aircraft carrier named "New York"
There is an error near the beginning. The photo that says Jenny's family at Penn Station is really Hoboken New Jersey. Penn station has high level platforms. I am a New Yorker who grew up in NYC.
I can look at each picture for 20 min. This is so interesting. Love the Electric Buses, Sight Seeing and Scooter in the early 1900's. Then, of course Big Texas Oil and Bush's, Exxon, Chase Manhatten got together to destroy everything.
Amazing fotos ... thank you very much ! Question : The picture "Ladies Crossing 33rd Street at 5th Avenue, 1896" is a strange one ... 1) The child inbetween the two ladies has a very strange face/hat ... !? 2) On the left side of the picture on see a man, and at the right side on see a strange lady without had or strange dress ... !? Could you explain this ? Thank you very much in advance ... Eveline from Switzerland 😊
Artificial intelligence programs are very good at cleaning up many types of images, but the software still has difficulty when "improving" images of faces and other body parts. PS. Vous écrivez l'anglais très bien! Sie schreiben sehr gut Englisch!
Thankyou. I turned the volume off and paused to study these amazing photos. It was somewhat sad to know these people are no with us ....... pondering where they could be.😊 I became intrigued by the fashion and the footwear. The flapper ladies were scandalous!......the one in the middle looked very much like Joan Crawford.
Boxing match on an aircraft carrier in 1899? That's amazing since man's first flight was in 1904.... and aircraft carrier was officially launched in 1922. Also, that wasn't a "car trunk". That's a Rumble Seat. That was a small spare seat in back, behind everyone else.
One one pic 'jennys family at Penn station'? The man is Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson I think! Looks exactly like him. Hall of Famer, One of the best ever I guess.
Great photos but I love how they just come up with random years to go with pictures. For instance. I don't think they had aircraft carriers in 1899. The Wright brothers didn't invent the airplane until 1903 and the first aircraft, to actually take from ship was in 1911. I saw another picture from 5th Avenue 1899 with cars in the background and 1915 style fashion.
Great pictures. Btw did anyone catch the mother’s super creepy eyes close to the beginning of the video with the caption,’ family at the Penn Station 1919?😮
These are not the oldest photos of New York. The earliest New York photo was around 1850....but the majority of photos offered here fall into the 1900 - 1920s period.
17:40 In the 1920s the Bronx was a thriving Middle-class “suburban” borough. This looks like the Lower East Side. Your caption batting average keeps slipping lower and lower.
None of your music selections give the viewer that galvanic, jazzy feeling of New York City. Some of the last ones sound like Appalachian hillbilly music.
“New York 1899 a Fifth Ave Stage” Behind 2nd tree from right is a Ford Model T, which first production year was 1908. The clothing and heavy use of horse-and-buggy still fits well within 1908- ~1912. I notice this guy makes all kinds of mistakes in his narrations.
Music is too lively - distracts from enjoying the photos by competing with photos for our attention. Better to use background Muzak like in groceries and malls.

The quality you're presenting is so good! It must take a lot of work and the equipment to bring them to life 🤗
Wonderful presentation, but some of the music just didn't fit.

I love local history like this, thanks for sharing these restored photos!
Love seeing the old styles of dress too.
Amazing and wonderful pics. Thank you so much, I really enjoyed that trip back in time x
Thank you very much, I appreciate it
Stunning photographs, beautifully restored! I really enjoyed the show. I’m from UK and find them fascinating. 😊❤
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it !
@@BrightStyleif you can do the Bronx, please❤
love the photos, hate, hate, hate the totally inappropriate music.
The man sitting in trunk of the car was actually in a rumble seat.
just wonderful. so well done. I really enjoyed the whole series. thank you.
❤
So clear and colorful, enjoyed it.
Thank you very much!
This was a nice way to end the weekend. The 1899 photo of Fifth Avenue makes me feel homesick for a time and place I have never been. Thank you, very much.
Thank you, I greatly appreciate it !
I’d love to see a comparison of these pictures with the same spots today. It would likely break our hearts.
No doubt about that. Thanks.@@dmtm1111
This stuff is eye-candy of the first order - great visual taste, thanks!
Thank you very much !
At 11:18, that is not a "car trunk". That's a rumble seat.
Here in the UK it is called a dickie seat.
Beautifully done photos! The man having fun in the "car trunk", it's called a rumble seat. The music didn't match the feeling of the photos.
The coloured fotos are gorgeous and filled with life…a kind of archeology. All this is gone.
Agree. Great photo's; like the colourizing. Frowned at " Boxing match on aircraft carrier New York 1899"?
Great photos!! I could have done without the music, so of course I muted it. Too bad the exact locations weren't noted...
Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉
3:04 - Aircraft carrier, 1899? Not very likely! Gustave Whitehead's first powered flight was two years later.
They screwed up. They clearly meant “battleship”. Gee, that one is real BAD!
@@dmtm1111The problem is they write the captions for these videos so quickly they don’t bother with copy-editing them , let alone hire an editor who knows what year the Wright Brothers first took off.
Yes, the Wright brothers hadn’t flown yet, lol. No aircraft carriers yet.

Very good! It's nice to see the colors as they could have been instead of shades of purples and peach.
Thank you 👍
😀👍
FYI: There were no Aircraft Carriers in 1899.
Indeed. The Wright Brothers didn't fly until December 17th 1903.
Well Done! 👍🏻 Dream away by the past…😊
Thanks
Evelyn Nesbit....now there's a "story of the century"!

There wasn't an aircraft carrier in 1899 New York. The aeroplane wasn't invented until 1903.
The photo at 11:18 is labeled as "Man having fun in car trunk". That's a rumble seat, it isn't a trunk.

Loved this Ty
Those “horse drawn carriage taxi cabs” were called Hansom Cabs; when one needed to travel he would “call for a Hansom”.
Great photos.
Thanks
Great photos but please.
The music imade me have to turn the sound off
Great work!
I appreciate seeing in how life was like back then.
THAT IS NOT A CAR TRUNK , IT IS A RUMBBLE SEAT.
The guy sitting in the car "trunk" was actually sitting in what was called a "rumble seat". It was a thing.
3:10 Pretty amazing that they were having a boxing match on an "aircraft carrier" in 1899
Considering that the Wright Brothers wouldn't make the first powered flight for another 4 years (1903), and the first actual aircraft carrier wouldn't be commissioned until 1922 (USS Langley)

Nice photo's and music, much appreciated ❤❤❤.
Thank you very much !
24:11 Feel free not to mention that the middle flapper is Joan Crawford.
Yes, I spotted her too!
Nagyon jó volt..!!!!!...SZÉP MUNKA..!!!❤🎉❤
Köszönöm szépen !
At 23:46, is Henry Martyn Leland, my 6th cousin a few times removed.
There is an error near the beginning. The photo that says Jenny's family at Penn Station is really Hoboken New Jersey. Penn station has high level platforms. I am a New Yorker who grew up in NYC.
3:00 USS New York ACR-2 (Armored Cruiser of the Spanish American War 1898) July 3/1899 Boxing match.
The man with his family at the 2:00 mark is the great Walter Johnson. Unmistakable.
That’s also definitely his wife too, so confirmed.
Everyone, even children, ALL wore hats 🎩 👒
3:09 The USS New York was a cruiser, not an aircraft carrier. There were no aircraft carriers before the Wright Brothers flight in 1903 of course.
.... BRILLIANT !! have sub., 👍
Thank you very much !

Liked the Pictures. Lose the Music. It's annoying.

Also, that wasn't a "car trunk". That's a Rumble Seat. That was a small spare seat in back, behind everyone else.
December 1903, actually.
The annoying music ruins the video.
You're right,,,, very depressing
The music that is
Great photos and colorizing. However. sound track was HORRIBLE. Did not compliment the photos at all.
11:14 that was called a rumble seat.
11:25 That isn’t a trunk. It’s called a rumble seat.
How did you pick the music? Music from the era of the photos would be nice, I just turned off the sound and enjoyed the pictures
Hated the music choice had to turn off volume
One one pic 'jennys family at Penn station'? The man is Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson I think! Looks exactly like him. Hall of Famer, One of the best ever I guess.
21:18 “Thomas Edison next to his one of the first and prominent electric car.” Who wrote this caption? Drunk A.I.?

"Aircraft carrier" in 1899?
as usualas on similar channels...music muted
Gostei desse Canal.
Obrigado
Great photo's but it's not a boxing match on the aircraft carrier 'New York' in 1889 at 3:03. There were no aircraft carriers until WW1 or even later!
Bright style….it would have been super…BUT that Rap music took away from the mood!
There were no aircraft carriers in 1899...must of been a battleship or other type warship...You can tell by the heavy gun turret in the background....
03.06 aircraft carrier in 1899? this is a cruiser or something like that. look at the turrets
Great photos, but not "the oldest". Most of them are from the turn of the 20th century; there are photos of NYC dating back to the 1850s.
They really put a top hat and on the dog and gave him a cigarette. 😂
Aircraft carrier in 1899?
😁 😆 "Fact checking?? We don't need no stinkin' fact checking!"
Fascinating photos but spoilt by inappropriate and ill matched photos… I had to switch off the sound as it was driving me nuts!!
Times sure have changed!
certainly looks clean for a time of no real sanitation department
WRONG MUSIC!!!!
... Good Point ! - I turn the volume down 👍
Phil. Liverpool UK 🇬🇧
Nice to know that the Bronx hasn’t changed one bit lol 😂
24:33 Neither of those two women looks like Louise Brooks.
Great images but the video as a whole was completely ruined by garbage music. If only the soundtrack matched the images
I also tried colorizethis on my bw family pics.
You very rarely see footage of Black people on any of these channels. During this time NYC was chock full of Black folks up from the South.
None of your music selections give the viewer that galvanic, jazzy feeling of New York City. Some of the last ones sound like Appalachian hillbilly music.
“New York 1899 a Fifth Ave Stage” Behind 2nd tree from right is a Ford Model T, which first production year was 1908. The clothing and heavy use of horse-and-buggy still fits well within 1908- ~1912. I notice this guy makes all kinds of mistakes in his narrations.
It could also be a Model A which looked similar, and predated the Model T by about 6 years. Even so that still puts the image well after 1899.
Music is too lively - distracts from enjoying the photos by competing with photos for our attention. Better to use background Muzak like in groceries and malls.
GREAT PHOT BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS PENN STATION.
Could have done without the ridiculous rap music in the first of it.
I like all genres ❤
@patriciagriffith7402 I complain but I still loved the photos! Lol
Sorry, but they didn't have music in the 1900s.
💯 I was going to say that!! The music is very OUT OF PLACE! Where's the Nichelodian or classical music?
@@mitchfloridaOH yes they did...but not like this!!!
It doesn't look like 1907 at 18:41, probably the 20's.
Ilike the images and instrumental music, but am not a fan of the loud vocals - senseless.
The music you put for this video doesn’t belong
Aircraft carrier in 1899??????
