I had a picture of my wife in the gallery on my phone. It was from 30 yrs ago when we were still dating. I used this type of program to animate it and it actually made me cry. She's been gone 3 years.
The smile of the first girl took me by surprise. It immediately connected me to her, realizing those are not "just" photos, but a moment in peoples life, they lived and breathed, loved and hate.
Can you imagine if these ladies knew while sitting for the picture, that their photo would be brought to life over a century later and hundreds of people will be watching with fascination and awe? I wonder if they'd be tickled pink or absolutely horrified at the thought.
@@nomadbrad6391 Because the blonde color is not common. It's rather rare. The overwhelming majority of white people have dark hair. Most blonde women you see now are not blonde at all. Many young women dye their hair.
My great grandmother was born in the late 19th century and LOVED having her picture taken. We have a lot of pictures of her in her fine 19th century clothes. She looks like Mary Poppins in my favorite one, umbrella and all.
And one day people will watch the selfies and videos we are taking this week and will say "look at these people that lived 100 years ago. They are all gone now."
I am 73 and in 4 days I will ‘turn’ 74. My Mother is now deceased but she was born in late April of 1918. My Grandfather was born in 1898 and my Grandmother was born in 1903. They met sometime in the early 1900s and married when he was 18 and she was 13... So, 1916? So, Nannie was 15 when my Mom was born? From the appearance of these images, they could have been ‘contemporaries’ of my great grand-parents.... Thanks for this ‘glimpse’ of what they might have looked like.... 🙏
I am going to be 48. My paternal grandparents were born in 1888 and 1890. My paternal grandfather died on my 1st birthday They were from what used to part of Northern Italy.
It is great to see the personal variations and interpretations these young women brought from the fashions of the day. Fashion was not a mass industry. The term teenager did not exist. One was simply a young lady and had to respect the conventions of the day. But what do we know? An unothordox bow. A daring hairstyle. Im sure they made there individuality known ...perhaps despite a disapproving glance from dear mama.
Thank goodness for the Edwardian era that followed, which finally broke the monopoly of the center hair part which had dominated throughout the Regency, Romantic, Georgian, and long Victorian eras!
I LOVE these AI videos of faces of the past. It’s amazing how the personalities shine through when the photos become animated. I can easily imagine these women interacting with suitors, laughing in the parlor after dinner while they chat as they embroider or do their hand sewing, and primping in front of their mirrors as they dress for the day. Thank you for bringing history to life!
The ones that show more of their personality and the ones who are more restrained. Loved the one with the book and a couple of the young ones with smirks.
A good amount of them didn't give a shit probably, and were there because their parents made them. In reality they were thinking about going back home so they can sneak out and meet their little fling.
That was so neat to see and "hear" one of the ladies speaking to us! I've believed for a long time that a woman does not have to wear make up to look attractive. Today's fashion models look a little cold and haughty. Makeup can only do so much, but real beauty comes from the soul.
I feel like famous women of the 70's going to a function like the the Oscar's where they'd be dressed to the 9's & wearing a lot more make up than the average women of the time would be wearing way less make up than many teenagers you see at the local mall today.
I always have imagined all the people across worlds and times that I would have been friends or lovers with had I only had the chance to have met them.
I appreciate you bringing life to old pictures. It tells me we really haven't changed as much as we think, just the strange hairstyles of the time. 7:26 was stunning, her eyes look to be blue or green.
I'm 69 now and a Brit. I was a keen amatuer photographer and had my own darkroom for 31 years until 1997. Ended up Marrying a Yank. She used to say, "that's spooky" when something seemed strage toi her. I never really felt anything was ever 'spooky' until I watched this fantastic Video. Made ther hair stand up on the back of my neck. The art of photography is and always was, to capture a moment in time but this goes much deeper. Like a time machine. Lovely work indeed.
Most of them look very young. They arranged their hair so beautifully and what abundant hair most of these ladies had. Their clothes are so beautifully made and of course these ladies wore tight corsets! It amazes me hugely how they can look so pristine with non of the housework tools we have now and hair and body care products. Yes they were dressed in their best clothes for their portrait sittings but everyday clothes were just as fancy and copious. I particularly liked their lovely jewellery. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
They look beautiful and very young. Just imagine that these photographs were offered to their soon to be husbands, or given to matchmakers and aunties😉. Some of these clothes and accessories were supplied by the photographer.
Women back in the day looked so much prettier and elegant than women of today, without all the makeup & jewelry you can actually see a woman's real beauty. I wish I could go back in time to see them 🌹❤️
POPLE FORGET THAT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HAD A SHORTER LIFESPAN THEN US.THEY ARE OURS GREAT GREAT=GRANDMOTHERS OR AUNTS.THEY HAD A HARD LIFE,BUT PEOPLE TODAY TRIED TO JUDGE THEM BY TODAY STANDARDS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING THEM A VOICE.GOD BLESS.
@Hereandthere andnowinyourface No you are 100% WRONG. Do research before you comment. Death from child birth had NOTHING to do with how rich or poor a woman was!
@Hereandthere andnowinyourface Exactly, the eldest woman and person in general who ever lived and is known was born in that era and died at 122 years old.
I used to think people back then were so plain compared to today but that was mostly due to the photography back then, their sometimes weird hairstyles, serious faces and lack of color. These ring their beauty to life!
It's fun to ponder what kind of personalities these young ladies may have had or what they did with their lives. I assume they are mostly city girls from wealthier families? Am I the only one who feels like every 3rd girl looks familiar somehow? I'm sure I'm just seeing characteristics in their faces that trigger a distant memory of someone I knew briefly decades ago but I kept doing double takes.
Daguerreotypes, to my mind, are the superior early technique, even over some latter methods, in terms of depth and detail. But their extremes of light and shade seem to distort facial detail to give the illusion that Victorians looked fundamentally different to us. Your technique brushes such clouding away and shows that is simply not true. Your work is stunning.
@@nomadbrad6391 Unless the skin is unusual in some way, eg covered in freckles (indicating red hair), it's impossible to know what colour their hair would have been. There were a few freckly faces here that would have had a shade of red hair in real life.
@@nomadbrad6391 It's unlikely that only brunettes were photographed, so if these sitters comprise a random selection of the population, some of them must have been blonde. It's impossible to know which from black and white photographs - the tinting is up to the artist/photographer carrying out the work.
It brought tears to my eyes when she spoke. I've worked on many. Shows and often work from the desera type and the women always look so Stern and no color and now to see them brought to life you're really high's I'll say beautiful they were it's giving me a whole new view thank you very much and I seen some pictures looking thank you again
The Gallery of young ladies was very interesting in that 90% of them had the most unflattering hairstyles of the time. One about 3/4 of the way through looked like the Mona Lisa. Still fascinated with the ones that can speak....it's almost like face time. Thanks my friend for another awesome look into the past.❤❤
This is breathtaking. Adding a voice left me speechless. I've called everyone to tell them about your site. I used an app and animated by deceased mother--felt joy and sadness, but it was wonderful. Thank you.
There is somthing so beautiful about seeing the beauty of their unique faces. I feel like now we see a lot of people that look eerily similar. I loved this video💖😌
For some reason, I always think they looked “old”. Probably because of the quality of the picture and they weren’t in color and most of the time they were not smiling. Many of these ladies are so beautiful. I love the look of the Victorian woman.
Wonderful video. Just to note, the lady mid-screen at about 7:26 is an outlier in that she appears to date 1890-ish, whereas the rest seem uniformly 1850s or thereabouts.
Stuff like this really pulls at my emotions. Seeing all these young women who once had lives and are now all gone. I've done a lot of research on my own ancestry. I've have pictures of my many times great grandparents that were taken in the 19th century. Some of them were born in the 1700's. It's amazing how I can see a person born that long ago. RIP all you lovely ladies.
I always loved your videos, bringing these old photos to life...I got a kick out of the first photo, when she spoke! I wonder if that's how they spoke back then? Keep up the good work!
Wow 😮 wish you could have done some of the other ladies but that First Lady wow just about fell out of my chair when she spoke to us this is the way forward please can’t wait to see your next video 👏👏
The potential for this is mindblowing!. Imagine museums, art galleries, and figures from the past, moving and talking, even answering questions. Crime detection evidence. Loved ones' photos and distant relatives. Just love them.
Oh, that was great! Thanks for the post. I am sitting here with photos around me of family members going back to the Civil War. I just love to look at them.👍🏻🙋♀️🥂🌹
The young woman at 8:33 is simply stunning, w/gorgeous & luxurious hair…..could be model today though in that scenario, her modesty might have prevented her from doing so. A woman’s beauty is generated from within but the lucky ones receive both internal external beauty.
These are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. When someone from that time shared their image with friends or family, they called it a "likeness" rather than a photograph. (Ref: An Uncommon Soldier: The Civil War Letters of Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, alias Pvt. Lyons Wakeman, 153rd Regiment, New York State Volunteers, 1862-1864, by Sarah Rosetta Wakeman (Author), Lauren Cook Burgess (Editor), James M. McPherson; publ.Oxford University Press, 1996
Such wonderful captures in time. Wishing that I could have a "Somewhere In Time" moment to know them and to see whatever happened to them later in life.
Love these animation and video and now you're getting them to talk oh my gosh I love it! Thank you for all the time you take to do this, so we can enjoy it!
Studio picture were still popular in the 60's. My sister and self had a sitting in a photo studio and at home by professional photographer. I assume the quality of pictures was greater than the average box brownie.
these are amazing - I've loved looking at these early photographs and never imagined something like this could be done with them. Software today is amazing.
@@kmartin3486 their diets were not as rich as our diets, they were slim and most of them were still very young. One of my great grandmothers was married at 15, a mother at 16, grandmother by 30 something, great grandmother in her 50s and lived long enough to see the babies of her great grandchildren before she died at almost 80. By the average lifespan (40-50) of her generation she lived a very long life.
@Trashina Baggarino AMEN!!!🤬 Idiot apparently doesn't realize they wore painful corsets to "suck it all in" back then or that food was scarce. Men! I swear.....
Does anyone know the name of the beautiful background music? This is truly breathtaking work. Many of their faces convey a quiet confidence and knowledge of something that many moderns have forgotten. Thank you so much for posting these and for the magnificent display of those that are animated.
I just found your channel, absolutely wonderful I enjoyed this so much..MORE please, much more, thank you,,, Im going to go binge watch your channel. I must. xoxo
@@deborahcooper9085 so do I but I gotta be me as Frank Sinatra sang. I love listening to old songs plus Sinatra was at his best vocals when he was older and he phrased the lyrics perfectly. But go ahead and say it. Some of the hairstyles were funny.
@@francesbacon7825 The hairstyles are actually remarkable considering what they had to work with - curling irons heated on the fire, and hairpins. I think they are beautiful young women and so much more elegant & feminine than most women look now.
Sir...i'm blown away by what you've created through special effects technology! I consider you (and individuals doing similar things)...to be geniuses!! i loved it when you even added speaking ability!! i'm so impressed and stunned and amazed!
Thank you for the stunning video, it's like a glimpse into the past! I love the victorian era and I often thought that these kinds of styles would compliment my face way more than modern ones. To be honest, I always felt a little like fallen out of time, and some eras feel strangely close to me. Still, I know that romanticizing the past isn't the right thing to do either.
I feel that about the Edwardian Era though I wouldn't want to travel back in time unless I was a 1%er living high on the hog. The poor were really poor and blacks and other minorities were routinely murdered.
I've never seen anything like this! Brilliantly done. For the record, those freckly-faced young ladies would have had red hair. Red-haired folk are always overlooked!
Such incredibly beautiful women with a life and story all unique to them at that time in history. How the world has changed since these pictures were done!
Me fascinan tus videos soy maestra de lengua y literatura y amo todo lo referente a esta época y tú me haces vivir plenamente estos maravillosos momentos 💕 💖 gracias 🙂

@@nomadbrad6391 blonde hair isn't as common naturally as people think. I also think it was in vogue to dye your hair darker at this time period.
Didn’t have much in the breast department back in them days it seems like also.

I LOVE THIS COMMENT 😭😭💝💝
The rich ones you mean
Love this!! When they smile you can't help but smile back!!!
I can only imagine how excited these young girls were to have their photo taken at a real studio or by an expert.
Yeah and now we have selfie sticks😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree. Getting photographed was expensive, and a event to remember. These hairstyles are killing me tho…
Some of them look like they could care less
A good amount of them didn't give a shit probably, and were there because their parents made them. In reality they were thinking about going back home so they can sneak out and meet their little fling.
Most had missing teeth and didn’t smile enough to show
This is almost heartbreaking to witness. I can almost look into their souls. A life once lived and gone. It's very touching. ❤️
I hear you. I always look at them that way.
Truly amazing , animating actual photos and the first one speaking was truly unbelievable. Great work!!
Thank you so much 😀

These are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. When someone from that time shared their image with friends or family, they called it a "likeness" rather than a photograph. (Ref:

You know I love your work... this is superb.
Amazing. Imagine if one of these was your great Grandmother and you had never met her. Thank you so much for this
There's something fashinating and misterious in these beautiful young women from the past
Natural real and pure, no botox fillers boobjobs, Brazilian waxing, they are authentic. Young ladies
Such wonderful captures in time. Wishing that I could have a "Somewhere In Time" moment to know them and to see whatever happened to them later in life.
Love these animation and video and now you're getting them to talk oh my gosh I love it! Thank you for all the time you take to do this, so we can enjoy it!
They are all beautiful but the lady at 5:45 is my favourite. Absolutely gorgeous
I agree....she was a beautiful woman....
Studio picture were still popular in the 60's. My sister and self had a sitting in a photo studio and at home by professional photographer.
I assume the quality of pictures was greater than the average box brownie.
Of course still goes on today.
Great video. Number was very striking! Beautiful even without any makeup. "J".
Amazing, brought to life really adds so much quality to these images ! 🌟🎞🎼💯
these are amazing - I've loved looking at these early photographs and never imagined something like this could be done with them. Software today is amazing.
Just imagine if you could actually sit & have a coffee & conversation with them. Love these vids, very, very cool. Thank you. 🤟❤
Vos videos sont toujours magnifiques ... trés beau travail 👏👏👏
Je suis très émue de voir Victoria ainsi. C'est une période de l'histoire d'Angleterre que j'aime beaucoup.
Moi Aussi !
Amazing and beautiful come to life photos. You've done a awesome job!
MAGNIFIQUE travail, continuez et merci beaucoup.
No tattoos no stupid lip enhancements (and I the word enhancements very loosely) just nice looking slim girls! lovely.
Painfully and deforming corsets made the young women appear so slim.
@@kmartin3486 their diets were not as rich as our diets, they were slim and most of them were still very young. One of my great grandmothers was married at 15, a mother at 16, grandmother by 30 something, great grandmother in her 50s and lived long enough to see the babies of her great grandchildren before she died at almost 80. By the average lifespan (40-50) of her generation she lived a very long life.
Not even makeup as we know it, and more beautiful for being natural.
Same could be said for the men🤨😂
@Trashina Baggarino AMEN!!!🤬 Idiot apparently doesn't realize they wore painful corsets to "suck it all in" back then or that food was scarce. Men! I swear.....
Does anyone know the name of the beautiful background music? This is truly breathtaking work. Many of their faces convey a quiet confidence and knowledge of something that many moderns have forgotten. Thank you so much for posting these and for the magnificent display of those that are animated.
Victorian women had class and beauty
Beautiful work! This is what my great grandmothers generation looked like. This is so nice to see.
you have brought back the long departed back to life, amazing work thank you love this so much
I am amazed at what is possible with modern technology. Thank you very much!
So interesting. Brought back to life 200 years later. Feels like traveling in time.
Thank you so much for this work that you do! It really impacted me. Deep respect.
Women from all times have been described as beautiful, these wonderful colorized portraits prove it is true, beauty indeed is timeless....
Not one duck face?! Astounding!
The pictures are lovely 😍
There seems to be a world of difference between the way people appeared back then and today, and not just in the style of their clothes.
Where are the platinum blonds?
They were so much prettier than what I see today.
I just found your channel, absolutely wonderful I enjoyed this so much..MORE please, much more, thank you,,, Im going to go binge watch your channel. I must. xoxo
the photos that you show are unbeleavable, great show.👍👍
The one young woman all in white looks like she is using a cell phone. I also now know where Princess Leah got her hairstyle from.
😂 I posted a comment about Princess Lea too but I deleted it. I’m glad you commented on it.
@@deborahcooper9085 why did you delete? The hairstyles are crazy.
@@francesbacon7825 i thought I might catch some flack 😂 I get blasted a lot!!
@@deborahcooper9085 so do I but I gotta be me as Frank Sinatra sang. I love listening to old songs plus Sinatra was at his best vocals when he was older and he phrased the lyrics perfectly. But go ahead and say it. Some of the hairstyles were funny.
@@francesbacon7825 The hairstyles are actually remarkable considering what they had to work with - curling irons heated on the fire, and hairpins. I think they are beautiful young women and so much more elegant & feminine than most women look now.
Sir...i'm blown away by what you've created through special effects technology! I consider you (and individuals doing similar things)...to be geniuses!!
i loved it when you even added speaking ability!! i'm so impressed and stunned and amazed!
Thank you for the stunning video, it's like a glimpse into the past! I love the victorian era and I often thought that these kinds of styles would compliment my face way more than modern ones. To be honest, I always felt a little like fallen out of time, and some eras feel strangely close to me. Still, I know that romanticizing the past isn't the right thing to do either.
eos:I feel that way too about the time fallout & romanticising the past.
I feel that about the Edwardian Era though I wouldn't want to travel back in time unless I was a 1%er living high on the hog. The poor were really poor and blacks and other minorities were routinely murdered.
I've never seen anything like this! Brilliantly done.
For the record, those freckly-faced young ladies would have had red hair. Red-haired folk are always overlooked!
Your videos never stop amazing me! I hope they all had happy lives full of love! Such beauties!
Such incredibly beautiful women with a life and story all unique to them at that time in history. How the world has changed since these pictures were done!
Me fascinan tus videos soy maestra de lengua y literatura y amo todo lo referente a esta época y tú me haces vivir plenamente estos maravillosos momentos 💕 💖 gracias 🙂
