    It's good that historical footage like this has been preserved. It looks like it was only filmed yesterday.

    The film negatives were found in old barrels in 1994 in the basement of a building. They were then successfully applied to film, taking care to regulate the speed because cameras those days were hand-cranked. So basically this was filmed over 100 years ago and with today's technology able to see the film almost as if it were yesterday.

    A real treat and wonderful insight into life over one hundred years ago. I enjoyed this more than I can say. Must mention the fitting background music which actually enhances this clip as opposed to the usual overpowering explosions and drums with their cheapening qualities that mostly dominate media presentations these days. Finally the narrator was as clear as a bell and I didn't have to strain to hear one word.

    I have to stop watching these old nostalic clips... Makes me so emotional, it was a time when you got a good salary for driving a tram and you had a job for life....

    The quality of this is amazing. It must've been remastered, because I didn't think they had the technology to make a film of this quality until about the 1920's.

    Everyone in this clip are long gone. A sobering thought.

    to bitterchew: yes, many films of the era looked abnormally fast because the cameras were hand cranked.....no electric or spring driven motors in them....also i believe there were less frames per second.....that would also tend to make them move faster

    The 4 well dressed women with the hats looked so classy. The assistant at 0.30 made a good decision to get them to walk back and film them again.
