Any photo taken at ANY point in the 19th century was taken AFTER the Industrial Revolution took off, not BEFORE it. The Industrial Revolution started in 1700, with Jethro Tull's invention of the horse-drawn seed drill, which dramatically improved crop yields. In in 1712, Thomas Newcomen's steam engine made dramatic improvements in efficiency compared to the very primitive steam engine designed by Thomas Savery in 1698. That invention allowed for deep coal mines which would otherwise be unworkable to flooding, and greatly reduced the price of coal. Then came James Hargreaves' 'Spinning Jenny' in 1764-65, which allowed the industrialisation of the textile industry - and, in 1765, James Watt made yet another crucial breakthrough in the steam engine, whereby it not only produced greatly more power per ton of coal, but also had a rotary shaft output, making it idea for powering mass-production textile mills and engineering works. Long before 1840, the basis of modern transport was in place. In 1802, William Symington built the first practical steam vessel, the tug 'Charlotte Dundas', and in 1829, George Stephenson made steam loco hauled trains a viable and efficient proposition. Tull, Newcomen, Savery, Hargreaves and Stephenson were all English, and Watt and Symington were Scots.
Thank you for you great peek into our past! It puts these photos into perspective too! I wish, now I’m well into my old age, that I had taken more notice of things my grandparents had told me, also that I had studied history better - I would love to have had the knowledge that you have treated us to!! Thank you again!
@@suzannehaigh4281... Isambard Kingdom Brunel was English. The Americans couldn't even spell plough in these photos and spelled it "plow".... They "should of went" to the library
@@SunofYork Hahah, I have noticed that, 'of' instead of 'have' really irritates me and is common. It amazes me how US students manage to gain places in British Universities, but then they pay full price I suppose.
It’s wonderful to see the pictures. Anyone can be wowed and amazed to see how the cities where in 1850’s to now. Showing famous people photos were amazing to see how they really look like. Thank you again.
I knew the president in question!! 😀 I didn't know his place in history as told. Thank you for these mid 19th century pictures! My favorite is the one of the 2 women gleaners.. reminiscent of Naomi and Ruth..! Such a tender story..of our kinsman redeemer..
Thank you so much for the pictures. I have extremely low vision (so bad, I can no longer drive). Even though the print was rather small, you kept the pictures up long enough, that I could read the caption & also enjoy the pictures. So thank you again.
I knew Martin van Buren as soon as I seen him. To get my American citizenship I had to learn about American history, and president's where part of that test.
The carriages in the photo shown from 10:03 so strongly remind of the cars of the 1920s that you downright could believe them to _be_ such cars. This means that through the industrial revolution the world has perhaps not been changed so very much, in the end.
Your content is excellent to my eyes, and ears. Of course, I am holding a biased viewpoint because History is on of my favourite subjects. I am always amazed by all the building which took place during the 19th century. Best wishes to You for every future success.
I think your dates are off a bit. The industrial revolution began at Slater Mill Pawtucket Rhode Island in 1793 and was in full swing within 20 years, long before your photos were taken. The industrial revolution is defined as the beginning of mass production of manufactured goods. Textiles were the first to be mass produced. By 1810-1820 Rhode Island and Massachusetts were mass producing every conceivable manufactured item from textiles to silverwares, glass wares, ceramic wares and all manner of metal wares and items made from wood. Factories abounded throughout both states. Mass production did eventually make it's way to other states but it started in Southern New England. In Natick Mass my great, great, great, great grandfather was one of hundreds of shoe makers mass producing shoes in that period. In Taunton MA silver and copper goods were mass produced by 1830. Jewelry production was in full swing in southeastern MA and Rhode island by 1840. Glass factories existed in Boston, New Bedford and Sandwich by 1820. I could go on but I think you get the idea.
Think you'll find your a bit off, it's commonly known that the " Industrial revolution " began in Great Britain, the technological advances started there sooner at 1760, go and actually read some historical facts.
The date of the construction of parliament in Ottawa is wrong. It says 1857 but ground was not broken for it until 1859. The original buildings burned in 1916.
The first Industrial Revolution (the one people think of when it is talked about) was from 1760 to 1840. The American Industrial Revolution (sometimes referred to as the Second Industrial Revolution) did sputter into life sometime in the 1850s but didn't really kick off properly until the 1870s and carried right up to the start of the First World War in 1914. So, you may want to correct the title as the world was well into the Industrial Revolution by the 1850s; as shown by your pictures of Brunel and the Great Eastern which demonstrate that the IR was well advanced by this time. (No wonder American education gets such a bashing when it only takes into account American history and ignores what was going on in the rest of the world.) Nice pictures though.

Not a certified truth... Second industrial revolution came in account of steam power development and railroad constructions in England, beginnings of 19th century. Germany was responsable of important consumables that came excessively into market circulation after the expansion of railroads, remember the Suez canal that were in early developments. The US was yet abdicating slavery for economic purposes... Later after Civil War making an important position with the investment of scientific research that boosted agricultural machinery and, of course, the implementation of work methods inherent of superproduction: taylorism and fordism.
First off the Industrial Revolution began in the early/mid 1700s, secondly mass studio portrait photography began around 1855 with `carte de visite` size mounted which were largely replaced with the larger cabinet card photos about 15 years later. Long after the Revolution got started.
Great program. However, not one of these pix was taken before the Industrial Revolution. That particular game-changing time took place about 100 years or more before these images were captured.
I would love to know about the 1800s elixirs that sparked so much advancement. Similar to the Bible, there was something that opened peoples minds that we don’t hear much about these days
Construction began on Canada's first parliament buildings in Ottawa on December 20, 1859. Whatever this building is, on Barrack Hill, it's not the Parliament buildings.
French - English fleet? NO. By this time it was the British Fleet. England is a state within Britain. Revenge - Let’s call the US fleet the California Fleet!
When you think that most of these lived in the time of Napoleon and the French Revolution, you are shocked when you see their real photos, if only the camera had been invented earlier than that
At 5:07 this is Paris 70 yrs after the French revolution. Looks already well built up. Are we then looking at Paris the way it would have looked in 1789? so many questions, so little time.
I noticed that the last picture must have been a windy day, it looks like the shadow of a rapidly flapping flag in the very top of the photo on top of the building, when cameras weren't very good at capturing movement.
Photography had only just been invented when these were taken. The exposure time was in the order of seconds to minutes. That's why you rarely see people who are not posing and why flags etc are ghosts! 😉
It was buried up to its chin?? The only pics of the Sphinx ... ever! ... show him lots 'taller' very much more disinterred... So I am needing to read of this ... want to know more.
Just curious-what is with men’s hair shown in old photos of this time period? Was this a style? They look like they’re never owned a comb. Just wondering……….
Pay attention to the those pictures 1850-60’s . Well specifically the big cities. Where is everyone. There was not tv and not electricity. So even during the warm parts of the year you would have virtually house producing smoke a few times a day. So this takes away the explanation of a long exposure. So does the fact everyone is pretty much outside during some of the day but there is never and blurred spots where one person or the other is at a busy spot. AND PHOTOS LIKE THOSE AND IN EVERY CITY. BUT ONLY DURING THAT TIME. Not to mention that long exposures do not work like this. Well not exact. And well I guess I already did mention it. 🤔🧠👀 Oh and how come nobody ever says, “Hey! What is going on here? You have all these old buildings that we have never even come close to recreating. Like capital buildings and post offices, and many other. (many with what should be the ground floor covered up with dirt and windows on that are many times bricked up). And they seem to have been made to accommodate very tall people. Now all this would be POSSIBLY explainable. But when you consider the people back then had no power tools. The got from place to place by horse and wagon. And we believe or “boring” (cause they make it that way or try to)history, which is taught to us buy a government that we all know give us a sub par education. Why are we so quick to dismiss a person that tells us a different history? Especially if they have never lied to us. But our government does everyday. The people that think our government serves the people and cares for them is an example of them lying. It seems our 12+ years in state schools really puts the hurt on our ability to think critically.

That school exam isn’t as hard as you think. In addition, some of the knowledge emphasized in this test would be replaced with more relevant themes and topics of focus relevant to today’s world.
WHOA, NELLY! That comment you left is terribly smelly. I am going to have to humbly and respectfully insist that you are not only being transparently disingenuous. Your comment is also suspiciously worded like someone who has a career in what is loosely defined as our “educational” system. And possibly even more unfortunate, if this is true, is the probability you yourself are perfectly content with how academia in general runs, operates, and has as its curriculum. Naturally, I am shooting from the hip there, and I quite possibly could be way off. But I would not bother you with an inquiry. To be blatantly up front, I doubt your honesty in the reply you have submitted. So, moving on unless you have something more on any of that. As to what opinions and beliefs you have regarding this test, or more specifically, it’s “outdated” content. So if you insist on that being the case. I at the same time would not of course, necessarily be in agreement with you without looking at whatever questions you say are, “out of date”. I think we would both do agree that is more of a detailed inspection that either of us has a desire to have. Either way, “it is not a hill I am prepared to die on” as they say. So, some may maybe outdated. Ahhhh, but the reason they would be outdated, is far more relevant and equally quite interesting, now that, that can has been opened. But before I blunder though the points regarding that I would that I would point out. An observation, an important point, possibly two, and a sprinkle of opinion. Regarding the date, those who had conceived this test, or more importantly, those who were not in on its creation nor had any other claim to its being in existence. I am going attempt to point out to anyone that reads this, which is …1 …2. 3? No? Ok, 2 people. (little attempt at humor there) This test was, if I am not mistaken, not only “pre” or given before, so independent of the formation of the openly socialist leaning educational system we find ourselves educated with today. And at this point I would like to bring to attention possibly this systems biggest success. That being the ability to give a nations people sub par education, this very few would disagree on. But that is not a success. Obviously not. Where those that not just started but continued to play a critical role in the system we have today did was instill a belief it this nation’s people that any views, ideas, insights, open mindedness and even critical thought were and continue to be at the mercy of what Americans were taught in their government controlled schools. Even while almost every American at the same time agrees that our schools are not competent in the “education” they and those coming after are receiving. This is absolutely amazingly ridiculous. It totally meets any definition anyone could find to explain the word bazaar.
Interesting the faces: hard look. Bitter. Life was hard. Yet, if looking at a film about 1900's it there's a lot of people smiling. Laughing. Life was hard but people had the ability to keep on going and laugh. Stronger than modern day fellas.
_«Le Zouave»_ is a french name for Zig-Zag _papiers à cigarettes_ and more importantly that swarthy dude on the little packet which is their brand mascot. "The story goes like this: during the siege of Sevastopol, a young Zouave narrowly avoided being struck by a stray bullet. Though the soldier himself remained unscathed, the bullet shattered his clay pipe. Being rather ingenious, and not wanting to go without his tobacco, the clever Zouave tore off a strip from his bag of gunpowder and used it to roll a cigarette. The myth spread around France for years until 1879 when Zig-Zag decided to pay tribute to the resourcefulness of that unknown Zouave by creating their now famous logo out of his potential likeness." He is an internationally recognised "face", one which has had different likenesses over the years, one being more realistic and another like the one we know but with a lit fag dangling from his lips (I guess this became too pc for today's cancel culturals (tseh!)). I always thought he was a greek, from when we were little more than slaves under the ottoman yoke, or an arab, which they do speak in the Magreb, but now I know about his history, and your image of these Zouaves has better educated me.

i can't believe the HATS! I've been in Florida since 1957 and have NEVER worn one since arriving here. yeah I HATE them. and maybe that's why I STILL have ALL of my hair at 79yo.
These photos of places should be shown along side the modern view today. Colorizing these photos would be great as well. I don't think everybody wore black in the 1850s. I love the stove pipe hats. I hope they make a come back. President Andrew Jackson left the USA debt free with the sale of lands in the Ohio river area. Did President Martin Van Buren put us back into debt?

When you think that most of these lived in the time of Napoleon and the French Revolution, you are shocked when you see their real photos, if only the camera had been invented earlier than that
one of the first U.S Photographers went blind.. his eyes were closing from all the Flash Powder :::::
Not seen in the photo, President Van Buren is showing eight fingers, the sign of the Van Buren Boys. Of whom he was the founder and namesake.
Lincoln never looked healthy at any point in his life.
I've seen that old photo of van Buren a few times.
تِلكَ أُناسٌ قَد مَضَوا ، أَما لَكَ فيما مَضى مٌعتَبَر ؟!
The blonde female avatar in the upper right corner of the video looks and sounds almost real.
Do you know who this man is?
Yup, Martin Van Buren...I'm a history nerd.
I look at these and think how many areas have been destroyed by fire.
Seeing the US Capital building going up never seen that shot before
My timeline had no industrial revolution in 1760. And surely no digital grade photos in the 1850s.
Isambard Kingdom looked like a scallywag.
Industrilization is the biggest curse
At 5:07 this is Paris 70 yrs after the French revolution. Looks already well built up. Are we then looking at Paris the way it would have looked in 1789? so many questions, so little time.
No, Paris was quite different by the 1850's. The wide boulevards and squares did not exist in 1789.
The first pic is of Martin Van Buren, 8th PotUS.
I noticed that the last picture must have been a windy day, it looks like the shadow of a rapidly flapping flag in the very top of the photo on top of the building, when cameras weren't very good at capturing movement.
Photography had only just been invented when these were taken. The exposure time was in the order of seconds to minutes. That's why you rarely see people who are not posing and why flags etc are ghosts! 😉
It was buried up to its chin?? The only pics of the Sphinx ... ever! ... show him lots 'taller' very much more disinterred... So I am needing to read of this ... want to know more.
The world population at that time was around 1.5 billion people.
Como no podían crecer, se ponían chimeneas cada vez más altas en la cabeza.
What is the piano piece being played?
One hundred and sixty-five years ago. Does anything
at-all survive death besides a memory ?
Good pacing.
Thanks, Roberta!
The industrial revolution started in the 18th century.
Just curious-what is with men’s hair shown in old photos of this time period? Was this a style? They look like they’re never owned a comb. Just wondering……….
Pay attention to the those pictures 1850-60’s . Well specifically the big cities. Where is everyone. There was not tv and not electricity. So even during the warm parts of the year you would have virtually house producing smoke a few times a day. So this takes away the explanation of a long exposure. So does the fact everyone is pretty much outside during some of the day but there is never and blurred spots where one person or the other is at a busy spot.
AND PHOTOS LIKE THOSE AND IN EVERY CITY. BUT ONLY DURING THAT TIME.
Not to mention that long exposures do not work like this. Well not exact. And well I guess I already did mention it. 🤔🧠👀
Oh and how come nobody ever says, “Hey! What is going on here? You have all these old buildings that we have never even come close to recreating. Like capital buildings and post offices, and many other. (many with what should be the ground floor covered up with dirt and windows on that are many times bricked up).
And they seem to have been made to accommodate very tall people.
Now all this would be POSSIBLY explainable. But when you consider the people back then had no power tools. The got from place to place by horse and wagon.
And we believe or “boring” (cause they make it that way or try to)history, which is taught to us buy a government that we all know give us a sub par education.
Why are we so quick to dismiss a person that tells us a different history?
Especially if they have never lied to us. But our government does everyday.
The people that think our government serves the people and cares for them is an example of them lying.
It seems our 12+ years in state schools really puts the hurt on our ability to think critically.
This is interesting

That school exam isn’t as hard as you think. In addition, some of the knowledge emphasized in this test would be replaced with more relevant themes and topics of focus relevant to today’s world.
WHOA, NELLY! That comment you left is terribly smelly.
I am going to have to humbly and respectfully insist that you are not only being transparently disingenuous. Your comment is also suspiciously worded like someone who has a career in what is loosely defined as our “educational” system.
And possibly even more unfortunate, if this is true, is the probability you yourself are perfectly content with how academia in general runs, operates, and has as its curriculum.
Naturally, I am shooting from the hip there, and I quite possibly could be way off.
But I would not bother you with an inquiry.
To be blatantly up front, I doubt your honesty in the reply you have submitted. So, moving on unless you have something more on any of that.
As to what opinions and beliefs you have regarding this test, or more specifically, it’s “outdated” content.
So if you insist on that being the case. I at the same time would not of course, necessarily be in agreement with you without looking at whatever questions you say are, “out of date”.
I think we would both do agree that is more of a detailed inspection that either of us has a desire to have.
Either way, “it is not a hill I am prepared to die on” as they say.
So, some may maybe outdated.
Ahhhh, but the reason they would be outdated, is far more relevant and equally quite interesting, now that, that can has been opened.
But before I blunder though the points regarding that I would that I would point out.
An observation, an important point, possibly two, and a sprinkle of opinion.
Regarding the date, those who had conceived this test, or more importantly, those who were not in on its creation nor had any other claim to its being in existence. I am going attempt to point out to anyone that reads this, which is
…1 …2.
3?
No?
Ok, 2 people.
(little attempt at humor there)
This test was, if I am not mistaken, not only “pre” or given before, so independent of the formation of the openly socialist leaning educational system we find ourselves educated with today. And at this point I would like to bring to attention possibly this systems biggest success. That being the ability to give a nations people sub par education, this very few would disagree on. But that is not a success. Obviously not.
Where those that not just started but continued to play a critical role in the system we have today did was instill a belief it this nation’s people that any views, ideas, insights, open mindedness and even critical thought were and continue to be at the mercy of what Americans were taught in their government controlled schools.
Even while almost every American at the same time agrees that our schools are not competent in the “education” they and those coming after are receiving.
This is absolutely amazingly ridiculous. It totally meets any definition anyone could find to explain the word bazaar.
Interesting the faces: hard look. Bitter. Life was hard. Yet, if looking at a film about 1900's it there's a lot of people smiling. Laughing. Life was hard but people had the ability to keep on going and laugh. Stronger than modern day fellas.
Try keeping a smile for 30s or more and you'll see why people look so serious. 😉
_«Le Zouave»_ is a french name for Zig-Zag _papiers à cigarettes_ and more importantly that swarthy dude on the little packet which is their brand mascot.
"The story goes like this: during the siege of Sevastopol, a young Zouave narrowly avoided being struck by a stray bullet. Though the soldier himself remained unscathed, the bullet shattered his clay pipe. Being rather ingenious, and not wanting to go without his tobacco, the clever Zouave tore off a strip from his bag of gunpowder and used it to roll a cigarette. The myth spread around France for years until 1879 when Zig-Zag decided to pay tribute to the resourcefulness of that unknown Zouave by creating their now famous logo out of his potential likeness."
He is an internationally recognised "face", one which has had different likenesses over the years, one being more realistic and another like the one we know but with a lit fag dangling from his lips (I guess this became too pc for today's cancel culturals (tseh!)).
I always thought he was a greek, from when we were little more than slaves under the ottoman yoke, or an arab, which they do speak in the Magreb, but now I know about his history, and your image of these Zouaves has better educated me. Thankee 💙 L'image des Zouaves au Camp de Châlons on la trouve par là: 01:08
The photo @10:10 has cars in it. It’s likely not from the 1850’s 😂
i can't believe the HATS! I've been in Florida since 1957 and have NEVER worn one since arriving here. yeah I HATE them. and maybe that's why I STILL have ALL of my hair at 79yo.
These photos of places should be shown along side the modern view today. Colorizing these photos would be great as well. I don't think everybody wore black in the 1850s. I love the stove pipe hats. I hope they make a come back. President Andrew Jackson left the USA debt free with the sale of lands in the Ohio river area. Did President Martin Van Buren put us back into debt?
So many doctored photos
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in 1760. Just saying.
The sphynx was definately my favorite but the pic of napoleon was the first time I've ever saw his real photo rather then painting
He wasn't really all that charismatic was he 😆
