    My grandfather was born in 1893. I used to sit with him by the fire and hear stories about his schooldays and what the "scholars" got up to. Scholar was the common word for schoolboy in his time. Later as a young man he used to go visit the forge where someone would have a newspaper and they would read aloud the news of the day to the others. He lived until 1990.

      He was born the same year as my grandmother. Sadly she died in 1982 just a couple of months short of her 90 th birthday. I loved her very much, she taught me lots of things that have made me who I am today. She was the eldest of eight children, six girls and two boys. Unfortunately both the boys died in WW1 the elder aged 21 the other just 19. However I was lucky enough to know all the girls, wonderful Dickensian women, feminists when it really meant something not the airy fairy sort of today’s so called feminists.

The Victorian era saw revolutionary breakthroughs in the arts and sciences, which shaped the world as we know it today."

    The portrait photos are by no means the oldest ever taken. What were called because of their dimensions, `carte de visite` studio photos first appeared as a commercial entity about 1855. The larger so called `cabinet card` portraits started 10 years later. I would guess that all or nearly all of the ones here are cabinet card pics.
    We have a life size non cabinet card photo portrait of my x2GtGrandfather that was taken before 1898 that is so crystal clear it could have been taken yesterday, which goes to show how much photography had advanced by the time most of the pics shown on the video were taken.

      memory bias and hindsight bias. I swear the 1980's was the best time ever but then I forgot all the heart breaks and work-related nonsense and the aids and other challenges. I remember it being the best time for music, nights out judo and having my whole life ahead of me, not worried about coming to the end of my working career - which seemed so far away back then or those aches and pains getting out of bed now. But I am thankful for far more than I resent.

      Read histories/novels of the time about the lives of ordinary people and you'll see it was no paradise. Even for the rich and famous it often wasn't; read about the sorrows of Queen Victoria no less.

    I am trying to picture the young people on these photographs with torn skinny jeans, trainers, hair down and mobile phones. Especially the three girls from 1890. They would not look any different from young people now.

    That was amazing, fantastic work. It was great to see the portraits of the Duke Of Devonshire, as the paintings I've seen of him in Chatsworth House are the artist's representation, which, although probably accurate, don't bring him to life as much as your colourised photos do. As a keen photographer who has looked into the history of photography, I believe most pictures were posed in those days, so the people appear a bit stiff, but the colour really brings them to life!

    I would like to see both, your finished versions of each photo, but also the original. It would give me a feeling for how much was recovered vs imagined. I appreciate the examples near the start of the video, but carrying that throughout the video would be nice, especially if you can find a way to make it feel natural (like bringing optics into focus).

    The photo of the Duke of Devonshire wearing a costume with a motif of the Maltese Cross is incorrect.
    The person is actually Edward the Prince of Wales. Cavendish looks nothing like the man in the photo and Edward's features and obesity are very distinctive, he looks just like his mother Queen Victoria .
