This was deeply touching for me. There is a stillness, sadness about it all. It actually brought tears to my eyes. They are us. We are them. They were here and now gone and so shall we be the in time. They are so handsome and such beautiful eyes. I could not help hoping that their lives were not too hard and they knew and gave love. Excellent work. Thank you. I am a new sub now.
But, if they believed in God and were faithful to Him, they will arise in the resurrection day at Jesus' Second Coming. This is our blessed hope, for all ages!!!
The guy at the end, third photo, looks similar to Mathew Broderick in the movie " Glory", in which he played real life Union Army captain Charles Gould Shaw.
Kathleen I felt the exact same things as I watched this. It made me very emotional it's strange I felt like I knew them. I can see others feel the same this is very touching.
I sent a photo of my dad from when he was in his 30's to my niece. She did this 'come alive' thing with it. It made me cry, I really miss my dad, he died nearly 40 years ago age 63. But it was wonderful to see his still image like that.
It’s so incredibly sad to see these animated pictures of men who were once pulsating with life, confident, ambitious and making plans for their futures. But what a legacy to see them again. Some of them looking so modern, as if you might bump into them in the street.
@@marsperre exactly, and that’s what makes me reflect on the passage of time, and how brief is our moment in the sun. Not a thought one wants to dwell on……
And sadly, eventually even the memory of who we were will cease to exist, as the last human who knew us or perhaps heard a story about us, passes on. An image is indeed all that will remain! I read this somewhere & thought that was the saddest thing in then world. These men are beautiful...
These hauntingly handsome men, dressed in their finery with immaculate hair styles. Who were you? What did life bring you? You may be long gone but here we are people of the future admiring you through time. It is also humbling and a little sad… will we be remembered thus?
If you would’ve told any of these men in these photographs that people would be viewing them in 2022 on a little handheld device where you can get information at lightning speed and also call people all around the world they wouldn’t have believed it!
How do you know they didnt already have such technology in their day? How do you know there werent more advanced civilizations centuries before? How do you know our time is the most advanced? Tesla had figured out a way to harness free energy and had invented other technologies, but all his work, his books and sketches, were confiscated. Ever hear about those “Expositions” they used to put together in those days, with all the superbly designed architecture, technology and transportation etc.? You really think they put those “Expositions” together just to put together and dismantle all those structures? How do we know those werent Expositions and that is how cities actually looked like? So much of history has been manipulated, suppressed, and spoonfed to us we dont really know much about our past.
@@nikkibaxter5550 They are right about the photograph capturing the life essence. I've seen it lots of times, it's possible to tell if a person is dead by looking at a photograph of them. The creepy thing with this video is that about 3 of the photos look as if they have only been taken recently. Either someone has dressed someone up in old time and slipped the photos in to see if anyone could tell or there is a suspicious degree of life force still existant in those men which shouldn't be possible. Maybe they are still here. I'm not NA btw, i'm British Celt.

Love the way u worded these fine looking men, very moving n poetic ❤ I find some look more powerful, a couple had the "bad boy" look, one or two even wild once, but now mature n tame by the time their photo was taken This is incredible
when I watch your videos and see these pics of people coming back to "life" with the AI, I feel like I am watching those living pics and newspaper clips from the Harry Potter movies. very well done. I have always liked looking at old pics from the Victorian era and the early 1900's.
This is really well done. They used to have to sit still for ages until the film was properly exposed. What you did took away that stiff, formal, unnatural look that being told not to move gives you, and showed them more like what they actually looked like. I was looking hard and it was beautifully done, just a slight relaxation of the muscles made them instantly more human and relateable! Wow! the really stern looking man at 4.36 has come alive! He is really good looking and this shows it so much more than the photo. It makes them all relateable. Excellent work...No. 4 has eyes to die for!
The way the eyes of the men who were animated moved made me feel as if they were looking out into our modern world in a bemused way - brilliantly done.
That’s exactly what I thought..! Awake from a cryogenic sleep, they are perplexed; a little confused, but with a boyish curiosity about this new and different century..
These Victorian men show up modern day man .. taking care especially of their hair, attire and grooming. Love the animated facial features, bringing them back to life. Excellence!
@@DS40764 In an age with no central heating and having to boil kettles to fill a tin bath for a whole family, then having to empty it by hand, I wouldn't d have taken so many baths either, lol! They were a once a week luxury.
Victorian women were also nicely dressed. I don't like the fashion today. Especially skin tight yoga pants and wearing PJ's in the supermarket.. Our ancestors would be appalled.
My goodness, they were such fine looking men. They had such a grace about them, both men and women, which unfortunately we have lost along the way. Skinny and ripped up jeans or yoga pants just can’t compare to how they dressed in the 1800s to the early 1900s. They were so beautifully handsome I’d have a difficult time choosing whom I’d marry if I lived then!
Can you imagine if people dressed up like this today? Like going to Walmart in a suit and tie just to grocery shop lol. It seems people during the 19th century dressed nice wherever they went. Even people who didn't have a lot of money did. It makes that time period feel so regal.
People in the 1800s to the early 1900s respected themself as human beings. They believed they represented God in the world as his image. Nowadays people do not respect anything. They believe they are gods and they represent only egos, pride and arrogance.
Feel the same. Was just about to thank Mystery Scoop for me falling in love with deceased men. ☹️ I think it’s the suits. Dear God! These men are beautiful! Maybe a trend ought to start with men’s everyday fashions.
Perhaps it was the music but I found the men coming back to life strangely moving. A last look around for them in a world so utterly changed as to be almost unrecognisable.
As always another FASCINATING POST! MANY very attractive young men here, and yes, I may be seventy years old but I do still notice an attractive man of any era. What this technology brings home is how fleeting life is. We become so busy with our goals and activities, as well as events in the time in which we live, we barely consciously register one another unless there is some sort of visceral attraction. It goes by in lightening speed folks, don’t miss the ‘good’ stuff!
These photos really brought about a deep emotional attachment somehow. I cried, feeling like I knew them. Almost as if I was there also, during their time. I've always felt this way.....thank you for creating a beautiful remembrance of these handsome men. Their eyes say alot in the photos, gorgeous eyes!!!
So fascinating, there are some handsome men and some of them look quite contemporary. Number 4 had a beautiful mouth and very sad expressive eyes. When I watch I realise I want to know their names, who they married , where they were from and what happened to them! The only thing we definitely know is that they are all long gone. Thanks for posting, can we have the girls next? X
You're right. There was a sadness about him. It made me want to know him but also realizing that I will be gone one day like him. I don't fear dying as I fear not being remembered by anyone anymore.
Mr nr4 is very handsome. I could see him even in present time. I'd not say there's sadness in his eyes - to me it is more a mature look that has been on the verge of extinction. Unfortunately.
*Thank you for the work you've put into these "restorations"! I've often wondered, not only about the prevalence of facial hair in the Victorian Era, but also about the fact that many men (especially younger men) sported longer hairstyles that be wouldn't "acceptable" in the West until the 1960's.*
Also noticed they were longer!! AND they HAD hair!! THICK HAIR!! SO MANY men now have thinning hair really early, or LOOSE it almost entirely, at an early age!!
@@foofookachoo1136 Most likely our saturated diets. They completely rot us from the inside out, especially if over-consumed. Plus most of these men here wouldn’t have made it to an age where their hair started to thin out. The average lifespan of a man in 1860 was 39 years of age, for instance.
I agree: the clothing and maybe the facial hair too can make the men in the portraits appear older than they were. Too I wonder if another factor is that people aged faster in those days because life then was harder than for many people now and because of the lack of medical knowledge and care available to we who are now living.
I was transported to their time....They were people like you and me. They lived and dressed as their custom and we do the same, but I felt their faces were somehow familiar...like people I pass in the street now!
Per Wikipedia in the US anyway, 57% of ppl born then had blue eyes Vs. 33% of those born in 1939 - ... can't switch over to my other page to finish. But, facts.
Their expressions of wonderment, meeting my feelings of wonderment about them… amazing. What wise and loving humanitarian advise we could give one another … priceless. Love your videos ❤️
So romantic! I wish I could go back in time! I wish men today would take such care when they dress (some women too) What a wonderful video, especially when the man started to talk! If I had a man like these men, we would never leave the house! Thanks, Mystery Scoop!
Totally amazing! It's great to see men's fashions and styling for a change. I LOVE the Victorian era and find the photos of these handsome men fascinating. Great for authentic clothing research. Thanks you for such an informative video.
Some of them looked like Hipsters with those beards and mustaches. It's easy to see where they got the inspiration from. I enjoy watching these old photos, they remind me of the Crimean and American Civil War ones, in which the gentlemen would pose nicely groomed before leaving for the battlefield. Nice looking men most of them. Congratulations for the great job.
One of these distinguished men looked a bit like Christopher Reeves. Showing them in a life form seemed to enhance their good look’s, which I enjoyed seeing them come alive, so cool!👍👏👏👏
We are slobs by comparison. God knows what these men would think if they could see how people dress in public nowadays - they'd probably think everyone was too poor to be able to afford proper clothes!
Because ambrotypes, tintypes, etc were new tech at the time and cost money (new iPhone of the day), these folks dressed in their best clothes if they were of modest means. I have pictures like these and the people were all farmers and definitely not rich. It seems by the pictures, that this era in England had no people of color or may have not been able afford photographs. Hmmmm......
Ohhhh myyy goodness! I've fallen in love with a Victorian Man. Most of these men were stunningly handsome. sexy eyebrows, beautiful thick hair, skin so clear and soft. I would have loved to been able to marry one of those men. ♥️
Our Ancestor’s were so distinguished looking. All those clothes they wore made them look decent and honorable. Bringing them to life was so incredible to me. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you
Men were more well dressed and respectable looking and they had ten times the more hair than most you see today. The first one that started talking set me back in my chair. First time I ever seen that....great job MS.👍
I suspect the reason why the 19th century men had more hair than today’s men do was because they washed their hair less often. The more often you wash your hair, the more hair you lose.
What an advancement now. More head movement with back of hair moving too, plus more eye direction . The best is the speaking element with facial muscle contours . I have to say , some of these men look like late teens but with beards which make them look older. I hope this is a taste of more AI like this please.
I accidently stumbled across your channel and I am so glad I did. I LOVED this video! I am the family historian and have close to 500 photos from the late 1800's to the 1990's of my Family, our ancestors and their friends. I am working on a video now that will be released in May that is me interviewing my GGGG Grandfather and using AI, he responds to some of my questions. It's not an easy task as you well know, but it's so much fun. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I loved it!
I love how styles come and go. These type beards made a comeback in the 1970's snd 2010's. Hard to believe photography has been around since the 1830's. Is also sad as the Victorian Era was during the Civil War, and some of these men may have fought in that horrible war.
I was so drawn to number 4. I couldn’t stop staring into his eyes. Just something about him. Do you know their names? Thank you for sharing these amazing photos & bringing them to life.
Do you ever wonder if any of these people thought, for even a second, that their picture would be used in technology that hadn’t even been thought of yet to bring them back to life? Amazing. It makes me wonder what’s possible in the next 100 years?
Men of that era were extraordinarily handsome. Handsome features, great hair, slim. Looking over pics of contemporary people--young men and women recently and I actually got depressed. So many were just plain ugly...almost inbred looking. Overweight, misshapened faces, thin hair. I think something has gone wrong, genetically.
You have to remember that people who could afford to have their picture taken back then were very wealthy and most likely never had to work hard and eat crappy. Both of which affect looks over time.
These men would have been rich and dressed for the special event of having a still photograph taken. Quite a treat. Even today - even with cameras at our disposal - it is a treat to have an official portrait taken. Who knows what they looked like in their down time, hanging out at home in their pjs.
Beautiful work!, I love the mens hair, their clothes looked nice but uncomfortable. Love Victorian and Edwardian photographs, especially the tin type. Thanks for sharing.😊
Fascisnating yet freaky when made to come back to life! Many men back then were very handsome, even before them! One of the most handsome men in the early 1800s here in the states was our very first American novelist, Nathaniel Hawthorne who wrote the famous "The Scarlet Letter" and "The House of the Seven Gables" which still exists even to this day in old haunted Salem, MA aka "Halloween Central"! Hawthorn's wife Sophia Peabody an artist and mother of his three children called him "An Adonis" because he was as handsome as a Greek God! Her oldest sister Elizabeth Peabody started the Kindergarten movement here in the states and was the first woman to own a book store on West St. in Boston. Her other sister Mary was a teacher and married eduation reformer Horace Mann who has schools named after him! You can see how handsome Hawthorne was in a famous painting of him when he was a young man on Google Images! Thanks for this great channel, fun to look at, and educational as well!
You may already be familiar with this book but in case you haven't read it, I'd like to highly recommend "The Peabody Sisters of Salem" by Louise Hall Tharp, first published in 1950. An excellent book about the ladies you mentioned and a later edition has an introduction but Louis Auchincloss who wrote many novels, short stories and non-fiction books about the the East Coast society, especially New York City but also about New England.
@@andrewbrendan1579 thanks for the suggestion. much appreciaited. I've read the best selling book out in recent years about the famous Peabody sisters which the town of Peabody, MA is named for, the family surname. Read, "The Peabody Sisters, Three Sisters That Ignited American Romantism". Great read!
Because of your comment, I just finished reading up on Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife. That was a really beautiful and satisfying love story that they had. 🥰
this actually sent chills down my spine. can you imagine opening your old photo album and having loved ones come back to life! amazing video, thank-you.
I am very moved by these images which for a moment bring these men back to life. It feels like we are able to experience what has been lost. Thank you for your work.
Bringing these people back to life , in a way , gives me the eeby geebies. They look like they're confused at first , then they immediately look happy that they're back ( in a creepy way ). Thanx as always. 👌
I love watching these.... I watch with amazement at how they're "brought to life", I even get emotional.. I think it's knowing they really did once live on this earth just as we are, in a time they could not have imagined in the future, they would be on a screen being watched. Makes me wonder how we will be part of what the generations to come will watch.
I’m obsessed with all things Victorian. These young men are all so handsome. And like many others have said, it’s bittersweet seeing them and I can’t figure out why?! Maybe the sweet is how much we share with them as humans, the bitter is how much things have changed since they walked this earth.
The vision at 9:07? I'm in love! Could be a Victorian Daniel-Day Lewis! 🙃 But seriously, you did a wonderful job bringing these men back to life and accentuating their individuality - and their humanity - they're not just "dusty old pictures" forgotten on a shelf. Thank you. ❤️
So amazing, thank you for posting this. Even the music is wonderful. Can you imagine what these men would have thought to have seen their photos brought to life?
I was touched by the handsome gentleman around the 11 minute mark---who cared enough for his dog to immortalize him/her in the photo as well. That speaks volumes about the kind of man he was.
Hi everyone ! I love history , yet this is the first time I have ever come across this channel - I have immediately subscribed !! My goodness though - doesn’t number 04 look like the Brad Pitt of his era ??!!! Those looks , fine clothes and money for a photograph ?! He is DEFINITELY a catch !!!! 👍😆💕
A hauntingly beautiful vid, so emotional too. How healthy they all look, probably due to their better diets, and toxic free lifestyles ( apart from infections). i bet they were alot more healthier than we are now. They look so elegant in their clothes, so much nicer than our fashions, but then i am quite obsessed with the Victorian era
They had arsenic in their bread and wallpaper... Mercury and cocaine in their medicines. Childhood deaths were common place. Not so "toxic free" as you'd think.
I love this and always have but these ones was almost little to much for me - I could see them live before my eyes, like I actually traveled through time and met the men eye to eye for real! So amazing, beautiful and sad at the same time... It feels like my heart just broke a bit of all unexpected sadness I feel right now for all the people I will never meet or met, thank you so much for this video.
These videos are really cool to watch. I enjoy looking at old photographs and daydream what their life was like. What they sounded like and so on. Yesterday I watch one of Victorian women.
What gets me is the abundant health-looking hair and the variety of styles. An age before shampoos and conditioners with which we ruin our own. They certainly look well on diets far inferior to our own. Just goes to show!
Buddy, their "inferior" diet was actually healthy without herbicides, pesticides and GMO. Watch next generation turn into degenerates from industrial food full of GMO and artificial stuff? And can you guess the strength and stamina of those men shown here? They'd probably be stronger then average male today. This was the time where our species reached its peak. No weaklings, allergies, balding, skin problems with those guys. Women in comments can recognise that just by observing their physical features.
This was deeply touching for me. There is a stillness, sadness about it all. It actually brought tears to my eyes. They are us. We are them. They were here and now gone and so shall we be the in time. They are so handsome and such beautiful eyes. I could not help hoping that their lives were not too hard and they knew and gave love. Excellent work. Thank you. I am a new sub now.
So true Kathleen our time here in this life is so short…really puts life into perspective ♥️
But, if they believed in God and were faithful to Him, they will arise in the resurrection day at Jesus' Second Coming. This is our blessed hope, for all ages!!!

That’s exactly what I thought..! Awake from a cryogenic sleep, they are perplexed; a little confused, but with a boyish curiosity about this new and different century..
I heard it said “ You die a 2nd time when no one says your name …”. You have given these men life even for a brief moment
These Victorian men show up modern day man .. taking care especially of their hair, attire and grooming. Love the animated facial features, bringing them back to life. Excellence!
No but they didn't take as many bathes. They often used wash basins to clean up
@@DS40764 Funnily enough, I have an old basin and jug now in my bathroom ... so right!
@@DS40764 In an age with no central heating and having to boil kettles to fill a tin bath for a whole family, then having to empty it by hand, I wouldn't d have taken so many baths either, lol! They were a once a week luxury.
Victorian women were also nicely dressed. I don't like the fashion today. Especially skin tight yoga pants and wearing PJ's in the supermarket.. Our ancestors would be appalled.
@@HilaryB. You are so correct and yet they mangage to look nice
Love this video,some of the men were very good looking and distinguished in their hairstyles and clothing. Very well done Sir 😊👍👍
My goodness, they were such fine looking men. They had such a grace about them, both men and women, which unfortunately we have lost along the way. Skinny and ripped up jeans or yoga pants just can’t compare to how they dressed in the 1800s to the early 1900s. They were so beautifully handsome I’d have a difficult time choosing whom I’d marry if I lived then!
Can you imagine if people dressed up like this today? Like going to Walmart in a suit and tie just to grocery shop lol. It seems people during the 19th century dressed nice wherever they went. Even people who didn't have a lot of money did. It makes that time period feel so regal.
What a beautiful world it would be if people still dressed up every day. I'd people watch all day long!
People in the 1800s to the early 1900s respected themself as human beings. They believed they represented God in the world as his image. Nowadays people do not respect anything. They believe they are gods and they represent only egos, pride and arrogance.
Couldn't agree more, so we'll dressed and handsome, I noticed theire eyes too.
Feel the same. Was just about to thank Mystery Scoop for me falling in love with deceased men. ☹️ I think it’s the suits. Dear God! These men are beautiful! Maybe a trend ought to start with men’s everyday fashions.
Perhaps it was the music but I found the men coming back to life strangely moving. A last look around for them in a world so utterly changed as to be almost unrecognisable.
I did as well. Even kind of sad. Loved this.
Thanks for your great work! Handsome men! I am impressed by their fancy attires and their ondulated hair.
As always another FASCINATING POST! MANY very attractive young men here, and yes, I may be seventy years old but I do still notice an attractive man of any era. What this technology brings home is how fleeting life is. We become so busy with our goals and activities, as well as events in the time in which we live, we barely consciously register one another unless there is some sort of visceral attraction. It goes by in lightening speed folks, don’t miss the ‘good’ stuff!
These photos really brought about a deep emotional attachment somehow. I cried, feeling like I knew them. Almost as if I was there also, during their time. I've always felt this way.....thank you for creating a beautiful remembrance of these handsome men. Their eyes say alot in the photos, gorgeous eyes!!!
So fascinating, there are some handsome men and some of them look quite contemporary. Number 4 had a beautiful mouth and very sad expressive eyes. When I watch I realise I want to know their names, who they married , where they were from and what happened to them! The only thing we definitely know is that they are all long gone. Thanks for posting, can we have the girls next? X
I thought the very same thing about the 4th photo. His eyes were hauntingly beautiful.
You're right. There was a sadness about him. It made me want to know him but also realizing that I will be gone one day like him. I don't fear dying as I fear not being remembered by anyone anymore.
He has great hair too.
Mr nr4 is very handsome. I could see him even in present time. I'd not say there's sadness in his eyes - to me it is more a mature look that has been on the verge of extinction. Unfortunately.
@@helenjones568 what’s his number???? 😂👋
I fell in love with some of them!!!!. Thanks!!! Beautiful video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*Thank you for the work you've put into these "restorations"! I've often wondered, not only about the prevalence of facial hair in the Victorian Era, but also about the fact that many men (especially younger men) sported longer hairstyles that be wouldn't "acceptable" in the West until the 1960's.*
Also noticed they were longer!! AND they HAD hair!! THICK HAIR!! SO MANY men now have thinning hair really early, or LOOSE it almost entirely, at an early age!!
Long hair like Bohemians or hippies.
@@foofookachoo1136 Most likely our saturated diets. They completely rot us from the inside out, especially if over-consumed. Plus most of these men here wouldn’t have made it to an age where their hair started to thin out. The average lifespan of a man in 1860 was 39 years of age, for instance.
Love all this, especially the movements..so real...also love this time period...thanks
Such handsome young men, most likely in their teens and early twenties. So maturely dressed they certainly appear old then they probably were.
I agree: the clothing and maybe the facial hair too can make the men in the portraits appear older than they were. Too I wonder if another factor is that people aged faster in those days because life then was harder than for many people now and because of the lack of medical knowledge and care available to we who are now living.
I was transported to their time....They were people like you and me. They lived and dressed as their custom and we do the same, but I felt their faces were somehow familiar...like people I pass in the street now!
Interesting that so many of them had blue or pale-colored eyes. Great job! I love watching your videos.
Yes thats what I thought! Lots of light eyes!
Far less mixing back then…
@@dw309 Ah yes. Of course. Makes sense.
Per Wikipedia in the US anyway, 57% of ppl born then had blue eyes Vs. 33% of those born in 1939 - ... can't switch over to my other page to finish. But, facts.
@@tarawilber8501 Well that’s an interesting fact. Thanks.
Their expressions of wonderment, meeting my feelings of wonderment about them… amazing. What wise and loving humanitarian
advise we could give one another … priceless. Love your videos ❤️
So romantic! I wish I could go back in time! I wish men today would take such care when they dress (some women too) What a wonderful video, especially when the man started to talk! If I had a man like these men, we would never leave the house! Thanks, Mystery Scoop!
Totally amazing! It's great to see men's fashions and styling for a change. I LOVE the Victorian era and find the photos of these handsome men fascinating. Great for authentic clothing research. Thanks you for such an informative video.
Some of them looked like Hipsters with those beards and mustaches. It's easy to see where they got the inspiration from.
I enjoy watching these old photos, they remind me of the Crimean and American Civil War ones, in which the gentlemen would pose nicely groomed before leaving for the battlefield.
Nice looking men most of them.
Congratulations for the great job.
I was thinking the same thing about the hipster look. Lol
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
One of these distinguished men looked a bit like Christopher Reeves. Showing them in a life form seemed to enhance their good look’s, which I enjoyed seeing them come alive, so cool!👍👏👏👏
Wow. I noticed the Christopher Reeves resemblance, as well.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 yes, for sure, Joseph Dockemeyer! 👍🥰👏👏👏
@ 6:56, noticed that too before seeing tge comments. Very classic look
We are slobs by comparison. God knows what these men would think if they could see how people dress in public nowadays - they'd probably think everyone was too poor to be able to afford proper clothes!
You have 1 of 2 choices. Inflation or shrinkflation, take your pick.
If you compare classes, we are not slobs nowadays... these are aristocratic gentleman
Because ambrotypes, tintypes, etc were new tech at the time and cost money (new iPhone of the day), these folks dressed in their best clothes if they were of modest means. I have pictures like these and the people were all farmers and definitely not rich. It seems by the pictures, that this era in England had no people of color or may have not been able afford photographs. Hmmmm......
We are the people of Walmart.😆
Yes we peaked as a culture over a century ago.
Manly men! What a concept! 😍 Love it!
Especially the cute gay couple at 10:12 with their legs on top of each others and arms around each other.
@@JasonFlorida I was thinking 'brothers or lovers?'.
Manly men with hair incredibly coiffured and designed.
@@EchoBravo370 lovers
It's funny how old pictures make people look old, until you see them move. Then you realize how young they must have been at the time.
Number 4 made me so emotional. I cannot stop crying.
He is very handsome.
Gorgeous men. How beautiful they got to look out on the world again, and say hello. 🥰
Ohhhh myyy goodness! I've fallen in love with a Victorian Man. Most of these men were stunningly handsome. sexy eyebrows, beautiful thick hair, skin so clear and soft. I would have loved to been able to marry one of those men. ♥️
A bit too late...
@@kcfmark
😂 true
You need to do what that fine fellow did in the movie "Somewhere in Time." You must go back in time and meet the one you fell in love with. 😉
Die hatten ein klares Frauenbild. Emanzipation war da wohl eher nicht beliebt.
@@kcfmark ohhhh a girl can only dream at this point 🤗
Our Ancestor’s were so distinguished looking. All those clothes they wore made them look decent and honorable. Bringing them to life was so incredible to me. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you
@@Truthseeker7771000 They didn't invent photography, sorry
@@jontwest okay and? What does that have to do with the comment you replied to? lol
Men were more well dressed and respectable looking and they had ten times the more hair than most you see today. The first one that started talking set me back in my chair. First time I ever seen that....great job MS.👍
I suspect the reason why the 19th century men had more hair than today’s men do was because they washed their hair less often. The more often you wash your hair, the more hair you lose.
What an advancement now. More head movement with back of hair moving too, plus more eye direction . The best is the speaking element with facial muscle contours . I have to say , some of these men look like late teens but with beards which make them look older. I hope this is a taste of more AI like this please.

I accidently stumbled across your channel and I am so glad I did. I LOVED this video! I am the family historian and have close to 500 photos from the late 1800's to the 1990's of my Family, our ancestors and their friends. I am working on a video now that will be released in May that is me interviewing my GGGG Grandfather and using AI, he responds to some of my questions. It's not an easy task as you well know, but it's so much fun. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I loved it!
That is awesome!
4There are some amazing videos on his channel! I've been subbed for years and his work never stops blowing my mind!
I love how styles come and go. These type beards made a comeback in the 1970's snd 2010's. Hard to believe photography has been around since the 1830's. Is also sad as the Victorian Era was during the Civil War, and some of these men may have fought in that horrible war.
I was so drawn to number 4. I couldn’t stop staring into his eyes. Just something about him. Do you know their names? Thank you for sharing these amazing photos & bringing them to life.
I thought number #1 was very handsome also.
Do you ever wonder if any of these people thought, for even a second, that their picture would be used in technology that hadn’t even been thought of yet to bring them back to life? Amazing. It makes me wonder what’s possible in the next 100 years?
Please bore someone else with your questions
The man with the little dog towards the end. I would have loved to have seen them both animated.
Fascinating insight using modern technology . Well done great video.
Beautiful. These old photos are always my favorite, its fascinating to see them brought to life
Another great video from you. The sight of the young Victorian gentleman asking what year is this reminds me of HG Well's novel The Time Machine !
A feast for the history lovers eyes, suit tailoring, materials, ties, haircuts, loved it ! Thank you.
Currently, the number 4 would be a sex symbol with many followers
I think I've fallen in love with him!!!!
You got that right 😅
Men of that era were extraordinarily handsome. Handsome features, great hair, slim.
Looking over pics of contemporary people--young men and women recently and I actually got depressed. So many were just plain ugly...almost inbred looking. Overweight, misshapened faces, thin hair.
I think something has gone wrong, genetically.
Diet and vaccinations mostly
@@KC3P00 I was going to the same . Plus GMO's in our food and crap in the atmosphere...
@@KC3P00 you don't know how vaccines work. you think people were healthy back then?
You have to remember that people who could afford to have their picture taken back then were very wealthy and most likely never had to work hard and eat crappy. Both of which affect looks over time.
@@KC3P00 Ya, probably would have lived much longer if they were vaccinated.
My favorite one so far and you have done a lot of brilliant worked. Talking guy freaked me out a little! 😄
To our first friend, it's 2022. And I'm confused by it too! 😆 And I liked the man who had his portrait taken with his dog! Cute!
These men would have been rich and dressed for the special event of having a still photograph taken. Quite a treat. Even today - even with cameras at our disposal - it is a treat to have an official portrait taken. Who knows what they looked like in their down time, hanging out at home in their pjs.
Very inspiring. Appreciated. Thanks MS.👍
*Wow, what a handsome group of men! Well dressed, poised, and confident. I love that.*
Beautiful work!, I love the mens hair, their clothes looked nice but uncomfortable. Love Victorian and Edwardian photographs, especially the tin type. Thanks for sharing.😊
Why do I get so emotional looking at these men coming back to life? Deeply moving. Thank you so much.
Fascisnating yet freaky when made to come back to life! Many men back then were very handsome, even before them! One of the most handsome men in the early 1800s here in the states was our very first American novelist, Nathaniel Hawthorne who wrote the famous "The Scarlet Letter" and "The House of the Seven Gables" which still exists even to this day in old haunted Salem, MA aka "Halloween Central"! Hawthorn's wife Sophia Peabody an artist and mother of his three children called him "An Adonis" because he was as handsome as a Greek God! Her oldest sister Elizabeth Peabody started the Kindergarten movement here in the states and was the first woman to own a book store on West St. in Boston. Her other sister Mary was a teacher and married eduation reformer Horace Mann who has schools named after him! You can see how handsome Hawthorne was in a famous painting of him when he was a young man on Google Images! Thanks for this great channel, fun to look at, and educational as well!
You may already be familiar with this book but in case you haven't read it, I'd like to highly recommend "The Peabody Sisters of Salem" by Louise Hall Tharp, first published in 1950. An excellent book about the ladies you mentioned and a later edition has an introduction but Louis Auchincloss who wrote many novels, short stories and non-fiction books about the the East Coast society, especially New York City but also about New England.
@@andrewbrendan1579 thanks for the suggestion. much appreciaited. I've read the best selling book out in recent years about the famous Peabody sisters which the town of Peabody, MA is named for, the family surname. Read, "The Peabody Sisters, Three Sisters That Ignited American Romantism". Great read!
Because of your comment, I just finished reading up on Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife. That was a really beautiful and satisfying love story that they had. 🥰
@@witchhazel4135 There's a great little book out about them, "New England Love Story", they should make it into a movie!
They should do this with that portrait of him by Charles Osgood
TO SEE SOMEONE SMILE ONLY AFTER 150 YRS IS TRUELY HEART BREAKING !!! WONDERFUL YET SOOO SAD TO HAVE LOST SOMEONE WHOM COULD TEACH US SO MUCH
this actually sent chills down my spine. can you imagine opening your old photo album and having loved ones come back to life! amazing video, thank-you.
The picture of the man posing with his dog is wonderful (7:06). 🐕
That was AMAZING. As usual. Thank you very much.
Victorian eye candy
Thank you MS
Brilliant as always 💖🇬🇧
Another amazing video. Thanks Scoop x
Wow ,amazing , great job 👏👏👏, blessings 🙏
I am very moved by these images which for a moment bring these men back to life. It feels like we are able to experience what has been lost. Thank you for your work.
Bringing these people back to life , in a way , gives me the eeby geebies. They look like they're confused at first , then they immediately look happy that they're back ( in a creepy way ). Thanx as always. 👌
Ghosts!
@@kellysouter4381 .... from the past!
You would look confused too if you were brought back to life to a different century with somebody looking back at you.
@@johnderosa2276 Like it ... clever!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Amazing like always. 🙏🏻 thank you
This was delightful! Thank you so much! Music was beautiful too!
It like to scared me to death when that first one started talking! :D
I love watching these.... I watch with amazement at how they're "brought to life", I even get emotional.. I think it's knowing they really did once live on this earth just as we are, in a time they could not have imagined in the future, they would be on a screen being watched. Makes me wonder how we will be part of what the generations to come will watch.
It's haunting and beautiful at the same time. Makes you wonder what they were like back in those era.
Just WOW...they are coming back to life🖤
Well done!!!👍🏻
I’m obsessed with all things Victorian. These young men are all so handsome. And like many others have said, it’s bittersweet seeing them and I can’t figure out why?! Maybe the sweet is how much we share with them as humans, the bitter is how much things have changed since they walked this earth.
Me too, I love learning about the Victorian days and the people.
Thank you so much. This is truly fascinating. Have a small collection of tintypes and antique photographs so this was quite a treat
Very good video again
The vision at 9:07? I'm in love! Could be a Victorian Daniel-Day Lewis! 🙃
But seriously, you did a wonderful job bringing these men back to life and accentuating their individuality - and their humanity - they're not just "dusty old pictures" forgotten on a shelf.
Thank you. ❤️
That's wonderful.
It's like you caught their spirit to re-animate them.
So amazing, thank you for posting this. Even the music is wonderful. Can you imagine what these men would have thought to have seen their photos brought to life?
Fantastic, as always!
So very touching, these long gone men alive on the screen. Thank you x
What better way of celebrating these mens existance! The days when men were men and behaved like men! What a difference the hint of a smile makes.
I was touched by the handsome gentleman around the 11 minute mark---who cared enough for his dog to immortalize
him/her in the photo as well. That speaks volumes about the kind of man he was.
Hi everyone ! I love history , yet this is the first time I have ever come across this channel - I have immediately subscribed !! My goodness though - doesn’t number 04 look like the Brad Pitt of his era ??!!! Those looks , fine clothes and money for a photograph ?! He is DEFINITELY a catch !!!! 👍😆💕
Amazing glimpse into another era! Wonderful ❤️
A hauntingly beautiful vid, so emotional too. How healthy they all look, probably due to their better diets, and toxic free lifestyles ( apart from infections). i bet they were alot more healthier than we are now. They look so elegant in their clothes, so much nicer than our fashions, but then i am quite obsessed with the Victorian era
They had arsenic in their bread and wallpaper...
Mercury and cocaine in their medicines.
Childhood deaths were common place.
Not so "toxic free" as you'd think.
This is so eerie it’s almost unbelievable!
I love this and always have but these ones was almost little to much for me - I could see them live before my eyes, like I actually traveled through time and met the men eye to eye for real! So amazing, beautiful and sad at the same time...
It feels like my heart just broke a bit of all unexpected sadness I feel right now for all the people I will never meet or met, thank you so much for this video.
Fascinating and brilliant, as usual. Thank you!
#4 be still my heart ❤️
Mesmerizing to watch! Thank you!
Apparently the men of that era were far better dresser than almost everyone on the planet now.
That's for sure...
Yeah half the grown ass men walk around in pajamas these days.
I love dressing up. Hats and gloves for church. I sometimes get looks,but I enjoy the classic look. I am 72.
These videos are really cool to watch. I enjoy looking at old photographs and daydream what their life was like. What they sounded like and so on. Yesterday I watch one of Victorian women.
What gets me is the abundant health-looking hair and the variety of styles. An age before shampoos and conditioners with which we ruin our own. They certainly look well on diets far inferior to our own. Just goes to show!
People of means ate well then. No processed food, and they got more exercise.
Buddy, their "inferior" diet was actually healthy without herbicides, pesticides and GMO.
Watch next generation turn into degenerates from industrial food full of GMO and artificial stuff?
And can you guess the strength and stamina of those men shown here?
They'd probably be stronger then average male today.
This was the time where our species reached its peak.
No weaklings, allergies, balding, skin problems with those guys.
Women in comments can recognise that just by observing their physical features.
This is eerie and amazing...It's like their souls come out to greet us and then they go back to wherever they have been in repose...
I almost pooped myself when that first one spoke.xx
Really cool❤enjoyed watching!!!
