An appreciable work, but it's evident that the audio isn't original as audio recording with video didn't exist at the time. Sound design work was done.
I know a guy who is 74 years old was born in 1949 he can still remember when his grandmother came over from Germany to USA she was born in 1854 she lived to be 107 before she died, she use to tell Bill what the 19th century was about when he was around 7 years old, she use to remember everything she did when she was around his age. It’s incredible what a family can do when they live for 100+ years.
I’m 74 and my grandfather was born in 1865. He was 34 when this film was shot. President Tylers grandson is still around. Tyler served as President in 1841. Weird.
@Lpreilly72 As I write this I’m only 31.5 I think it’s absolutely incredible what a big difference history has been since we’ve started archiving more audio and video on what happens, it’s incredible to think what life was like 170 years ago.
I love this!!! My great grandmother was born in 1900 & these amaze me. She died at 103, I was in my early 20s. She would have been a baby in someone's tummy on that sidewalk in that era. I love all the 1900+. My grandmother who raised me just turned 90, born in the 30s. I love her old home movies so much ♥️♥️♥️
That’s really cool. I met my brother’s mother-in-law’s mother in 2000 shortly before she died. She was born in 1899. It struck me how rare it was to know a person who had been alive in three different centuries and two different millennia!
1:03 to think that those 2 children in the shot witnessed 2 world wars, a cold war, the transition from horse&carriage to cars&trucks, airplanes becoming normal, cinema to tv is awesome
Unless they didn't make it that far. But yes, they had the best chance of surviving to see all of that out of everyone else in the video. There's even a chance that they made it to the 21st century, although it is slim.
things moved much faster in the next 45 years two world wars, commercial flight and nuclear bombs. Thats insane and not long after that men on the moon.
Thats what my mom told me when I asked her what the differences are between her generation and mine. She said people now move and want everything quickly.
B&W footage always has a sensation of distance, but this AI restoration gives a sense of immersion that's equal amounts of breathtaking and scary. It feels like the closest we'll ever be to actual time travel.
Props. The "sensation of distance" is not something that most people explicitly notice like that (!) It's important because . . . the sensation is a characteristic feature of the human capacity we all have to do "mental time travel".
Its the smoothed out frame rate and stabilization of any bouncing that does it. Makes it look more like video than an old handcranked 16fps Cinématographe or whatever was used to capture this footage.
The colourization really puts life into the subject matter.The people and New York look as if the film had taken yesterday. Throw in the sounds of New York in 1899 and that of the people gives it a whole new look. Beautiful.
👍 The scene was staged, and probably the inspiration for Marilyn Monroe's in The Seven-Year Itch. It was titled "What Happened on 23rd Street". Apparently even back then actors were on the uninhibited side, LOL!
Yes! Part of my family lived in NY at that time. It was the height of the industrial revolution. New machinery and construction methods (e.g. steel beams) changed the city over just a few decades.
@@LeeZaslofsky Thank you. The TartarSauce conspiracy nutters always get flummoxed when you bring up ancient Rome and Greece. They can't comprehend that our ancestors could build the Colosseum or the Parthenon without using diesel motors or electric drills.
what does that have to do with you being naive? umm and it doesnt even make sense to say that, obviously things exist. because we exist. "OMG THIS THING EXISTS" like no fuckin shit, are you fucking stupid? lol
I do metal detecting as a hobby. It’s still hard to wrap my head around the fact that these items I pull out of the ground were once owned by those so many years ago. Whether I find a piece of women’s jewelry, a toy truck, a suspender clip or a button…it never seizes to amaze me to know that that item was a part of their life, in some way…some how, they used that item in a time that seems so distant to us, until it was set down, dropped, moved or just simply lost, and never touched again until I stumbled upon it 100+ years later, where it had sat in stillness decade after decade, through all the biggest historical events, throughout all the commotion of the world going by day by day, just sitting. I can’t talk to them or ask them questions about their life and what it was like, but in a way, I do feel a small connection when I find a personal belonging. It’s like their memory is still somewhat alive in a small little way, here on Earth…just for a moment.
This creates the possibility that you were technically talked about 100 years ago. "Maybe someone will find it." You were that someone. You were the subject of that sentence.
???? Personal transportation has almost nothing to do with heavy construction work. You might ask yourself if Buicks and Toyotas have any connection to building a modern skyscraper. In the 19th C. materials were transported by train and massive wagons. There were big *steam* powered cranes, excavators, lifts, and even drills and riveting machines. Remember that buildings as massive as the US Capitol were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. NYC's architecture is impressive but certainly not impossible.
@@JayKarpwick it is just a commentary on the point in time. There were very few work trucks at that time too. I’m very familiar with the technology. I have a BS and MS in Engineering. I finished my BS in 1986, so I am very familiar with technology, or the lack there of.
@@JustMe99999 They are pointing out that the technology around the people do not match how the people are living. It shows that they moved in to places that already had the structures from before a cataclysm restarted civilizations around the world. The entire world has the same issue. We see amazing architecture around the world with people using horses and carts. We are told those people built those buildings. It is a lie. 🙂
The stabilised movement of these old films brings a completely new relatability and glimpse in to the past. The disjointed old reels almost felt unreal. All of a sudden this footage has really been brought to life. Amazing! ☺️
Amazing, but kind of eerie how some people are in colour, while others are still black and white in the same scene. Its like they don't belong there and reality is rejecting them.
When I was a boy in NYC in the 1960s, there were still very many things and some people around from such scenes as these. It is difficult to describe how I was able to experience the vibes, echos, scents, and grit from 60-70 years earlier as I lived among the old streets, remaining structures, decorations and signage (including old horse stable buildings!). Well, things didn't change as quickly back then as fast as they do now. The immigrant communities of millions of immigrants and refugees coming to NYC was at peak in 1890-1900, and many of those communities were still very active in my youth. (My grandparents wete among them). Countless times I've wished I could visit back then before it began to dissappear, to see, for example, the bustling piers before I saw them abandoned and falling apart frim the Brooklyn Bridge and Hudson River. This video lets me finally time-travel back and see it in a way the unrestored film never could.
My Irish immigrant ancestors arrived in New York City during the 1870's. 3 of my four grandparents were born between 1896-1903. My last grandparent, my grandfather, was born in Ireland in 1886 and immiganted to New York in 1903. This was the world they all grew up in. Thank you. Fascinating footage .
Could you imagine coming from the devastation of post famine Ireland to this. It must have seemed like paradise on earth. These people were so traumatised and America took them in and have them a life worth living.
@@mow3186 Yes, Correct. And this great county of America allowed their descendants , me, included, to live and work for a life of prosperity and freedom.
Same -- all my ancestors Irish although some went to Britain/Scotland first for work and then to America. Came ashore in New Jersey and also Boston in the 1870s and 80s; lived 10 to an apartment at first. Metalworkers, plumbers ("piper"), all worked with their hands. They were a tough lot.
Im glad there were people that thought it important enough to take video and pictures of people and places over the years. These old videos and pictures from the 1890s and early 1900s are incredible. Priceless. I like to look at old videos or photos and wonder about the people in them. How their life turned out, what they did for a living, whether or not they had children, if they died young or elderly, and all the change they seen over the course of a lifetime. Photography is the greatest invention since language itself.
Film (rather than video, which came out in the 1950s) was such a new and fascinating technology that early photographers sent crews to make movies of people walking on the street, arriving on a train, tearing down a wall, anything and everything they thought might be interesting. They also quickly found that audiences would pay money to watch the films because It was the first time anyone had seen "pictures that moved". Thank heavens for their work!
@Poisson4147 indeed. You'd think more people with cameras would think it important. I mean surely they talked to their grandparents about life in the old west or even prior and even thought of how they'd like to see the world their ancestors lived in. Surely they'd think future generations would think the same way. And we do indeed.
The best part about all of this is none of this was made with AI, except for the color correction, but instead by someone who went through all the trouble to reconstruct old footage of the late 1890s for our own entertainment
This is astonishing, and fantastic! I was born July 16th 1996, my great grandparents are still with me I am happy to say: They will b 99, in the summer ! This is 26 years older than they are! Fantastic! Thank you to whomever put this together! Keep doing it God bless you Joey
Amazing！I was born in 1989, and my grandmother was born in 1929. She passed away in 2007. I still remember the first day she took me to primary school.
The lady’s dress billowing in the updraft was taken from an Edison movie entitled “What Happened on 23rd Street, New York City” shot in 1901. The couple were actors: : A.C. Abadie was the man and Florence Georgie the lady.

@@acool6401 seeing it sharpened and coloured by AI makes it much better than the original. The timing too is now more realistic than the original which might have been as low as 16 frames per second; though I don’t know what speed Edison employed.
Hearing those women laugh made me realize I've never pictured people from the past just laughing on the street. Drunk in a pub, yes, but never just casually walking down the street talking and laughing. It brings a bit more humanity to history.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى said, (Interpretation of the meaning) Then We made you successors after them, generations after generations in the land, that We might see how you would work. [Yunus 10:14] Then after them succeeded an (evil) generation, which inherited the book, but they chose (for themselves) the goods of this low life (evil pleasures of this world) saying (as an excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven to us." And if (again) the offer of the like (evil pleasures of this world) came their way, they would (again) seize them (would commit those sins). [Al-A'raaf 7:169] If only there had been among the generations before you persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasad (disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) on the earth, (but there were none) - except a few of those whom We saved from among them! Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were Mujrimun (criminal polytheist disbelievers).

@Adrian-mq5ld He came over here with nothing, but worked hard, fought in WWI, saved his money and started a very successful business. Back then you couldn't come unless you had a sponsor in the US. Times have sure changed.
@@SamtheMan0508 Dude what are you talking about? People just walked on the boat and came here, sponsors and immigration laws only started after non-White people started coming to the US because they wanted to heavily limit the number of non-White people in the US. It's really interesting how millions of uneducated young people were just let into the US and how the only reason why that isn't a thing today is become of American racism towards Chinese people and other groups. Immigrants today are much more educated than immigrants in the past.
@@brijmsnyou realize most of the industries in the US are held up by immigrants, right? The agricultural industry depends on immigrants, the factory/ production industry is largely made up of immigrants and without professional immigration to the US there would be a huge shortage in doctors and other healthcare professionals, engineers, scientists and whatnot. Modern America is built by the professional skills and manual skills of immigrants, it's absolutely ridiculous to act as if it isn't.
I find these clips of past life both fascinating and sad in equal measure. Seeing the slice-of-life your thoughtful editing, and authentic-feeling colourisation provides heightens the pathos: every single one of the individuals within those multitudes are gone. They may be nameless, but your efforts go some way to honouring their contributions to their community…even if some didn’t contribute, even if some were morally corrupt or unsavoury. It is immaterial because it’s part of the great parade of life. Thanks for your great labour of love.
Acutally, it's not an established fact that "they're gone". For example, 60% of theoretical physicists today agree with that aspect of Einstein's theory which demonstrates that these people are just alive now . . . as you are.
No need to be sarcastic, apparently you are blind to the direction this world has gone in. Apparently you are trying your best to keep up the asshole trend though. Great work..@@robertmoray988
@@ItsCostanza No because it looks the same. I walk down some of those same streets and ferry past that same chunk of lower Manhattan. It's thrilling to feel a part of something so eternal.
People worked hard in those days. There was no welfare to fall back on. Most people went to church or synagogue and learned morality. It WAS a different world because our values were better.
Loved this! I was a fashion illustrator in Manhattan in the late 1960s and 70s and used to take the 14th street subway to attend the New School for Social Research and Parson's School of Design. My husband's family lived on the lower East side until they moved out of the city to Yonkers in the 1930s but he took me back to see where they had lived. This was pre-Edwardian era and I've always loved those straw boater hats and my husband has one, but he doesn't wear it. Used to walk past the Flatiron building as well. I was born in 1948 and my late parents were born in 1908 and 1910, my grandparents in the late 1800s. My husband's grandmother was born in 1899 on his maternal side and his paternal grandmother was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1897 and landed at Ellis Island in 1910 at age 13. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane!
1897 Киев это Российская Империя и там она родилась. Что я вижу в этом, что люди того времени родились в эпоху сильных перемен в обществе и они своего рода сформировали уже в в первой половине 20 -века негативный посыл в общества и по всему миру. Но по уровню восприятия культуры в массе своей они на голову были выше чем мы сейчас. Это можно просмотреть даже на примере своей семьи.
Amazing colorization and I am always mesmerized by the restoration is true to how people naturally looked and moved. I like getting lost in the surroundings.
Peter Jackson's "they shall never grow old researched the actual color and got it mostly right along with way better film restoration, but that major movie level large number of people working with massive computer banks and experts. I sort of like it although a link to original be nice. @@bblande
color is not what makes this real..its all about the adjusted speed and the extra frames simulated by computer....otherwise u just have jerky color footage..its the natural speed that does it
I was never there but feel like I miss it. I try to live my life like I’m in the 70’s or 80’s. Seemed simple back then. I have no social media other than UA-cam and honestly the only good thing about all this is that I get to watch these kinda videos.
My grandmother was born on 10th St in 1897. One of the memories she used to tell me about was the extra horse at a hitching post on 5th Ave and 34th St, where there was a small hill requiring the trollies to hitch a 2nd horse to power up the 1 block hill.
Wow the way people are dressed is amazing, even the little children. The rich and poor, they certainly cared about what they wear and how they present themselves.
They dressed for social appeal, not personal comfort back then. Infact, this is still present today in most under developed countries due to it being more important to attract a wealthy mate.
It's not about "caring" what they look like. There was no such thing as "casual wear" back then. That's how they literally dressed every single day regardless of occasion. Talk about uncomfortable. I'd passed out in the middle of summer dressed like that.
This tech is amazing and I can imagine what it will be capable to do with these old videos after 5 years. This already looks amazing, but I'm sure this will get even better. Cannot wait.
My Great Grandmother, Mary Hester Crow (Born 1869)was in NYC in 1889 as an early post-grad of Ohio Wesleyan University studying Dramatic Reading at the Cecil B. DeMille school for Dramatic Arts. It was during her short 1 year stint in the Big Apple that she met a ladies undergarment salesman from Missouri, fell in love, went with him to Los Angeles by way of her family home in Delaware, Ohio where they got hitched. I never met my Great Grandfather. He passed young-widowing my Great Gran at 48. She lived to almost 101. Got a commemorative plaque from Mayor Sam Yorty and a letter signed by President Nixon. She saw the invention of the airplane to the moon landing. By comparison, it doesn't seem that much has transpired in my near 70 years.

I have often felt I was born too late, and that I would have fitted in quite well in this time period. I love the way people dressed; men were gentlemanly and women ladylike. We have lost SO MUCH in the way of culture and refinement.
@@magamaga1827 You should feel sorry for yourself. You are originally from Europe. Hispanics are originally from all of America, so you should first ask yourself if what you say is coherent.
The reality of those times was not your dream of politeness and gentility. Some people certainly lived that style of life, but there was a lot f poverty, racism, exploitation of workers, disease, unsafe and unhealthy housing, and plenty of violence. Luc Sante's book "Low Life" corrects your idyllic fantasy, as does the work of Jacob Riis. Check them out and be glad we've moved past that era.
@@LeeZaslofsky No need to preach at me…there is STILL “a lot of poverty, racism, exploitation of workers, disease, unsafe and unhealthy housing and plenty of violence”. The difference is, the CULTURE was far better all around….people knew the difference between right and wrong and respected themselves and others enough to not go to the local store in their pajamas and slippers or wear their pants down to their knees with their arses hanging out. My dream, however far-fetched, is that the days of respect and decorum will someday return. Probably not in my lifetime, tho.
Watching so many of these restored films and seeing how alive and vibrant the people are, and then remembering that they're long gone and it feels like they're sort of immortal, yet also of ghosts of the past. You can't help but think about your grandparents when they were young and your own mortality too.
I'm grateful that we can easily access footage from over a century ago! It's fascinating to see that even back then, New York was already a bustling metropolis.
The images of the Lower East Side resonate. But, I think they would’ve been speaking mainly Yiddish among the market stalls. Thank you for this footage!
The teenagers seen here may have well aged out having to serve in the trenches of WWI so maybe have led as normal of a life as could be for the times. Meaning, averaging out they would've seen the end of WW2 and some seeing the first commercial digital computers and man in space. Very luck few might have seen man walk on the moon.
My maternal step-great grandfather was born 30 September 1881. He’d died 3 December 1978, mere weeks after us burying family who’d died in Jonestown, Guyana. He was 97 years old. He’d fell & hit his head & suffered a stroke. We thought he would make it to 100 but he didn’t 😞!
I am Turkish. But it does not matter. No matter what nation you are from, when I look at these movies, I feel a deep sadness and love of humanism. 0:13 is like the love I feel for that curious little peanut in the background. We are all children of Adam. We are all human. Let's love each other. A common humanity. Life is so temporary.

Whether I find a piece of women’s jewelry, a toy truck, a suspender clip or a button…it never seizes to amaze me to know that that item was a part of their life, in some way…some how, they used that item in a time that seems so distant to us, until it was set down, dropped, moved or just simply lost, and never touched again until I stumbled upon it 100+ years later, where it had sat in stillness decade after decade, through all the biggest historical events, throughout all the commotion of the world going by day by day, just sitting. I can’t talk to them or ask them questions about their life and what it was like, but in a way, I do feel a small connection when I find a personal belonging. It’s like their memory is still somewhat alive in a small little way, here on Earth…just for a moment.
Very nice sentiment, thankyou for posting that, well said friend!,Enjoy your hobby 😊
This creates the possibility that you were technically talked about 100 years ago. "Maybe someone will find it." You were that someone. You were the subject of that sentence.
It is hard to imagine that these buildings were constructed before cars were popularized. Simply staggering.
???? Personal transportation has almost nothing to do with heavy construction work. You might ask yourself if Buicks and Toyotas have any connection to building a modern skyscraper.
In the 19th C. materials were transported by train and massive wagons. There were big *steam* powered cranes, excavators, lifts, and even drills and riveting machines. Remember that buildings as massive as the US Capitol were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. NYC's architecture is impressive but certainly not impossible.
@@JayKarpwick it is just a commentary on the point in time. There were very few work trucks at that time too.
I’m very familiar with the technology. I have a BS and MS in Engineering. I finished my BS in 1986, so I am very familiar with technology, or the lack there of.
Yes, and the pyramids were constructed in 2600 BCE, well before cars too. 🙄 One thing has nothing to do with the other.
@@JayKarpwickYou're losing it. Relax.
@@JustMe99999 They are pointing out that the technology around the people do not match how the people are living. It shows that they moved in to places that already had the structures from before a cataclysm restarted civilizations around the world. The entire world has the same issue. We see amazing architecture around the world with people using horses and carts. We are told those people built those buildings. It is a lie. 🙂
The stabilised movement of these old films brings a completely new relatability and glimpse in to the past. The disjointed old reels almost felt unreal. All of a sudden this footage has really been brought to life. Amazing! ☺️
Amazing, but kind of eerie how some people are in colour, while others are still black and white in the same scene. Its like they don't belong there and reality is rejecting them.
When I was a boy in NYC in the 1960s, there were still very many things and some people around from such scenes as these. It is difficult to describe how I was able to experience the vibes, echos, scents, and grit from 60-70 years earlier as I lived among the old streets, remaining structures, decorations and signage (including old horse stable buildings!). Well, things didn't change as quickly back then as fast as they do now. The immigrant communities of millions of immigrants and refugees coming to NYC was at peak in 1890-1900, and many of those communities were still very active in my youth. (My grandparents wete among them). Countless times I've wished I could visit back then before it began to dissappear, to see, for example, the bustling piers before I saw them abandoned and falling apart frim the Brooklyn Bridge and Hudson River. This video lets me finally time-travel back and see it in a way the unrestored film never could.
My Irish immigrant ancestors arrived in New York City during the 1870's. 3 of my four grandparents were born between 1896-1903. My last grandparent, my grandfather, was born in Ireland in 1886 and immiganted to New York in 1903. This was the world they all grew up in. Thank you. Fascinating footage .
Irish are the toughest people in the world…they are the working class salts of the earth
Could you imagine coming from the devastation of post famine Ireland to this. It must have seemed like paradise on earth. These people were so traumatised and America took them in and have them a life worth living.
@@mow3186 Yes, Correct. And this great county of America allowed their descendants , me, included, to live and work for a life of prosperity and freedom.
Same -- all my ancestors Irish although some went to Britain/Scotland first for work and then to America. Came ashore in New Jersey and also Boston in the 1870s and 80s; lived 10 to an apartment at first. Metalworkers, plumbers ("piper"), all worked with their hands. They were a tough lot.
Like Hispanics and Asians today 😊
Love these quality-definition historical videos!
Im glad there were people that thought it important enough to take video and pictures of people and places over the years. These old videos and pictures from the 1890s and early 1900s are incredible. Priceless. I like to look at old videos or photos and wonder about the people in them. How their life turned out, what they did for a living, whether or not they had children, if they died young or elderly, and all the change they seen over the course of a lifetime. Photography is the greatest invention since language itself.
Film (rather than video, which came out in the 1950s) was such a new and fascinating technology that early photographers sent crews to make movies of people walking on the street, arriving on a train, tearing down a wall, anything and everything they thought might be interesting. They also quickly found that audiences would pay money to watch the films because It was the first time anyone had seen "pictures that moved".
Thank heavens for their work!
@Poisson4147 indeed. You'd think more people with cameras would think it important. I mean surely they talked to their grandparents about life in the old west or even prior and even thought of how they'd like to see the world their ancestors lived in. Surely they'd think future generations would think the same way. And we do indeed.
Imagine all of the things our great grandkids will be able to look and see of our lives. Everything 😂
Geez, an absolutely OUTSTANDING restoration!

Hearing those women laugh made me realize I've never pictured people from the past just laughing on the street. Drunk in a pub, yes, but never just casually walking down the street talking and laughing. It brings a bit more humanity to history.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
(Interpretation of the meaning)
Then We made you successors after them, generations after generations in the land, that We might see how you would work. [Yunus 10:14]
Then after them succeeded an (evil) generation, which inherited the book, but they chose (for themselves) the goods of this low life (evil pleasures of this world) saying (as an excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven to us." And if (again) the offer of the like (evil pleasures of this world) came their way, they would (again) seize them (would commit those sins). [Al-A'raaf 7:169]
If only there had been among the generations before you persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasad (disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) on the earth, (but there were none) - except a few of those whom We saved from among them! Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were Mujrimun (criminal polytheist disbelievers). [Hud 11:116]
And every nation has its appointed term; when their term comes, neither can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour. [Al-A'raaf 7:34]
The Romans have been defeated. [Ar-Rum 30:2]
And We made them a precedent (as a lesson for those coming after them), and an example to later generations. [Az-Zukhruf 43:56]
The audio sounds totally fake it was added to the video it's not original sounds

My grandfather sold fruit and vegetables from a cart as a young immigrant in the early 1900's.
wow that is crazy to think that whatever you do and have and will do wouldn't have been possible without him selling fruits.
Back when this country needed immigrants.
@Adrian-mq5ld He came over here with nothing, but worked hard, fought in WWI, saved his money and started a very successful business. Back then you couldn't come unless you had a sponsor in the US. Times have sure changed.
@@SamtheMan0508 Dude what are you talking about? People just walked on the boat and came here, sponsors and immigration laws only started after non-White people started coming to the US because they wanted to heavily limit the number of non-White people in the US. It's really interesting how millions of uneducated young people were just let into the US and how the only reason why that isn't a thing today is become of American racism towards Chinese people and other groups.
Immigrants today are much more educated than immigrants in the past.
@@brijmsnyou realize most of the industries in the US are held up by immigrants, right?
The agricultural industry depends on immigrants, the factory/ production industry is largely made up of immigrants and without professional immigration to the US there would be a huge shortage in doctors and other healthcare professionals, engineers, scientists and whatnot.
Modern America is built by the professional skills and manual skills of immigrants, it's absolutely ridiculous to act as if it isn't.
This is the most amazing footage I have seen on UA-cam. It is beyond words to express how much I enjoy looking at footage from over 100 years ago.
I find these clips of past life both fascinating and sad in equal measure. Seeing the slice-of-life your thoughtful editing, and authentic-feeling colourisation provides heightens the pathos: every single one of the individuals within those multitudes are gone. They may be nameless, but your efforts go some way to honouring their contributions to their community…even if some didn’t contribute, even if some were morally corrupt or unsavoury. It is immaterial because it’s part of the great parade of life. Thanks for your great labour of love.
We're all passing through this thing called life. Most of us won't be here 100 years from now. Time marches on even after we're gone.
Acutally, it's not an established fact that "they're gone". For example, 60% of theoretical physicists today agree with that aspect of Einstein's theory which demonstrates that these people are just alive now . . . as you are.

@@Sapphire586 Thanks for sharing.
Loved this! I was a fashion illustrator in Manhattan in the late 1960s and 70s and used to take the 14th street subway to attend the New School for Social Research and Parson's School of Design. My husband's family lived on the lower East side until they moved out of the city to Yonkers in the 1930s but he took me back to see where they had lived. This was pre-Edwardian era and I've always loved those straw boater hats and my husband has one, but he doesn't wear it. Used to walk past the Flatiron building as well. I was born in 1948 and my late parents were born in 1908 and 1910, my grandparents in the late 1800s. My husband's grandmother was born in 1899 on his maternal side and his paternal grandmother was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1897 and landed at Ellis Island in 1910 at age 13. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane!
1897 Киев это Российская Империя и там она родилась. Что я вижу в этом, что люди того времени родились в эпоху сильных перемен в обществе и они своего рода сформировали уже в в первой половине 20 -века негативный посыл в общества и по всему миру. Но по уровню восприятия культуры в массе своей они на голову были выше чем мы сейчас. Это можно просмотреть даже на примере своей семьи.
Обожаю историю. Люблю старые фото и видео. Это словно машина времени, которая уносит нас в прошлое.
А где самодвижущиеся экипажи? )))
Amazing colorization and I am always mesmerized by the restoration is true to how people naturally looked and moved. I like getting lost in the surroundings.
It's funny you say that because I think the colors are weird. It would have been better to just leave it in black and white.
Peter Jackson's "they shall never grow old researched the actual color and got it mostly right along with way better film restoration, but that major movie level large number of people working with massive computer banks and experts.
I sort of like it although a link to original be nice. @@bblande
color is not what makes this real..its all about the adjusted speed and the extra frames simulated by computer....otherwise u just have jerky color footage..its the natural speed that does it
Imagine telling these people that 125 years into the future, the world would be watching them on UA-cam!
"Please tell me, good sir, what is this, this .. U tube ... you speak of?"

As someone who used to live in and spent most of their time in NYC, this made me cry.

My grandmother was born on 10th St in 1897. One of the memories she used to tell me about was the extra horse at a hitching post on 5th Ave and 34th St, where there was a small hill requiring the trollies to hitch a 2nd horse to power up the 1 block hill.

They dressed for social appeal, not personal comfort back then. Infact, this is still present today in most under developed countries due to it being more important to attract a wealthy mate.
It's not about "caring" what they look like. There was no such thing as "casual wear" back then. That's how they literally dressed every single day regardless of occasion. Talk about uncomfortable. I'd passed out in the middle of summer dressed like that.

My Great Grandmother, Mary Hester Crow (Born 1869)was in NYC in 1889 as an early post-grad of Ohio Wesleyan University studying Dramatic Reading at the Cecil B. DeMille school for Dramatic Arts. It was during her short 1 year stint in the Big Apple that she met a ladies undergarment salesman from Missouri, fell in love, went with him to Los Angeles by way of her family home in Delaware, Ohio where they got hitched. I never met my Great Grandfather. He passed young-widowing my Great Gran at 48. She lived to almost 101. Got a commemorative plaque from Mayor Sam Yorty and a letter signed by President Nixon.

@@magamaga1827 You should feel sorry for yourself. You are originally from Europe. Hispanics are originally from all of America, so you should first ask yourself if what you say is coherent.
The reality of those times was not your dream of politeness and gentility. Some people certainly lived that style of life, but there was a lot f poverty, racism, exploitation of workers, disease, unsafe and unhealthy housing, and plenty of violence.
Luc Sante's book "Low Life" corrects your idyllic fantasy, as does the work of Jacob Riis. Check them out and be glad we've moved past that era.
@@LeeZaslofsky No need to preach at me…there is STILL “a lot of poverty, racism, exploitation of workers, disease, unsafe and unhealthy housing and plenty of violence”. The difference is, the CULTURE was far better all around….people knew the difference between right and wrong and respected themselves and others enough to not go to the local store in their pajamas and slippers or wear their pants down to their knees with their arses hanging out. My dream, however far-fetched, is that the days of respect and decorum will someday return. Probably not in my lifetime, tho.
Watching so many of these restored films and seeing how alive and vibrant the people are, and then remembering that they're long gone and it feels like they're sort of immortal, yet also of ghosts of the past. You can't help but think about your grandparents when they were young and your own mortality too.
