Crazy to think that roughly 24 short years later, some of the youngest children in these videos would have departed for the front lines of WWI, by the time WWII rolled around the children here would nearly be middle aged, most of the adults in the video had probably passed away by that time. These people had no idea that they were within touching distance of global destruction and conversely, unimaginable technological advancement. They had no idea that this video would be watched 130 years later by people all over the world. So many lives and experiences: each face with its own story, love, heartbreak, fear, pride. What a treasure this video is.
You're comment should be #1. Not these npc comments from bots saying 'wow technology'. It's true 1890 was the begining of the shift to our modern world . Many changes to the world order were happening at this time. #1. For one languages and dialects were dying at an alarming rate. England and Germany were the first to start standardization of national languages. In London many spoke Cockney English, by 1980 RP English(The Queens English) had become main dialect of all English in Britian. Mexico , 82% of the population still spoke Native American languages at this time, by around 1940 w/ stndardization and mandatory public education and SPanish being mandatory the native langauges of all mexicans dropped to about 10% by 1980 and a foreign colonial langauge like Spanish became spoken by 90% of population. Within 100 years it took , you see something similar right now with China and Mandarin , Singapore and South China are losing their dialects to standardazition. I think 100 years from now we may be speaking Esperanto. Point 2. Yes, many of these kids would go on to grow up in the Great Depression, Civil Wars and WW1 and fought in them. The Balkan Wars, the Spanish civil war, the Mexican civil war, Russian overthrow of royals, Creation of a unified Germany < would be like if Germany, Tyrol and Austria all united right now > , the fall of the Ottomon Empire < would be if France collapsed today > . Point 3, The kids in this video raise the GI generation , the same GI generation that caused the Boomer generation to go into self destruct rebellion mode. You see, many Boomers said they vowed to never treat their children the same way that their parents had done to them.. This was because Boomers parents were giving a55 beating to near death by a psychologically tramatized genreation that raised them.. the little kids here that went through a world shift.
@@chibiromano5631 I would agree with the broad point of your first argument, Galen. I would qualify it slightly, in that the homogenisation of dialect and accent in England you speak of was not as uniform as you might think and was and is subject to class, occupation and travel from place of origin. During the 1890s, there were certain changes occurring as people migrated to the cities, but for the most part people simply did not have the opportunity to be exposed to other accents and dialects in the frequency that would have caused significant changes. It would be the arrival of mass media - for most after the arrival of widespread television viewing from the late 50s - that would cause the effect that you perceive today - and in some cases that effect took a much longer time to influence than you'd expect. I live in a city in the South East of England, and still very much spoke with a local accent and elements of dialect well into the 1980s. It wasn't the traditional RP of the upper classes (more of a Home Counties dialect) but the estuary English of East London that subsequently had the most impact on how I and younger people in my area speak differently today. That change is accelerating even more rapidly today with the ready dissemination of new slangs and accents - not from RP but from 'street' styles of speech that young people want to emulate to sound cool, even though they have little to no real exposure to those accents in their real life. At the same time, I retain the ability to speak in my local accent, and to adopt a 'Standard English' accent in professional roles where required. I've no doubt that young people will be capable of doing something similar and being able to segue from one accent to another depending upon the situation. My grandmother was a speaker of Esperanto, which she believed was a language through which nations could unite after the horrors of the world wars. I would predict instead that we will see a continuation of words and phrases migrating from one language to another, accelerated by their proliferation across the internet. However, vocabulary from tonal languages that are harder to master such as Chinese will find this exchange more difficult than words arriving from simpler languages such as Spanish, Bangla, Japanese and English.
Ya know, as i watched this video, nearly every single thought that went through my head i see here in this comment. Especially thinking how they have no idea the tragedy about to touch them all. Hopefully we are not in the same situation now!
@@johnbuffaloiam9741 Yes, it's disturbing how the establishment continue to promote 'Standard English' through how we now teach in the National Curriculum, as if it is the 'proper' grammar and pronunciation rather than an affectation they prefer, John. Cockney's a fine accent with an ancient pedigree of course, stretching back to East Saxon dialect of Old English.

To all you wonderful people who restore and preserve these old films; thank you and keep doing it. I'm sure sure I'm not the only one who enjoys looking at those old films.
I own a clothing store, ain’t my fault y’all dress like shit. It’s a choice, I wear a suit daily and it’s crazy the power you get in public. If you have an ego or just want to give it a go west a suit for no reason.
@1location 2location but if you lived in the 1890s you wouldn't have the knowledge of an Xbox. You're only saying "exactly" because that's what you think because of the generation you were born in today's society .
What's truly amazing is the fact that you almost never see people smiling in antique photos, even in children. For emotion to be captured on film is truly captivating!
My grandma was a little girl in the 1890s. It’s amazing to see what her world looked like when she was growing up. She saw so much and lived until 1985 (age 97).
Wow. She witnessed us going from predominantly horse travel outside of trains to automobiles. The invention of airplanes. Jets then eventually space travel and landing on the moon. She also lived among former slaves.
The fact that every single person in this video has exited this world gives you an eerie sensation. It's really like we're watching people from another world, not just from another era.
@@neatt3815 thats a weird feeling. That ENTIRE world’s human population and probably most animals HAVE DIED. Thats mind-boggling. Its also crazy how some of those guys remember wars where they were legit shooting in lines hoping not to get shot.
Bro whenever they’d look at the camera, I got chills. I’m looking into the eyes of someone moving and breathing 131 years ago, and it feels like they’re looking at ME, questioning my strange apparel. It’s like time travel. Technology is just WOW sometimes
Thats deep. What we do and how we view the world has changed so much, that in these short films, you can just feel how different their lives where compared to ours.
What I learned from this video: - Documenting and preserving history is important - This footage is fascinating - People all around the world loved to wear hats and wave them around Edit: Do yourself a favor and avoid the replies... They're filled with good-old-days syndrome and making me lose faith in humanity 😅
What I learned from this video: - AI has or will have access to every recording and record digitized and available to man. Anything missing will have resources dispatched to acquire them. - A thousand years of peace is at hand. - Lots of events and perhaps several decades will take place between the first and second points.
Can’t wait til it’s all over honestly. Gonna have a long shower then grab a cold drink from the heaven fridge. Jesus will come in, say hi and that God wants to see me in his office later and he’s pissed. 😳
My grandmother wasent even born yet! Not even my grandfather was born in 1903...Grandpa died in 73, with his wife following him in about 2003. Im 59, and someday.. in 100 years, someone will see my mug online and make commentary...
Not sad but part of life as one generation keeps replacing each other. Live your lives and be happy and be good to others as I am a firm believer that people reap what they sow in this life but as Gods children are forgiven after death and purified in Gods likeness.
Think deep where are you going after this life. In 100 years from now we will be like them just a picture or a video in RUclips. So, think deeply and thoughtfully why we are here and where we are going after death before it is to late
6:19 the lady in white coat was my Great grandmother. I really can't believe this. I sent this video to my parents and my mom noticed someone similar. We paused the video and had the picture zoomed. It turns out that she infact is my great grand mother. This is so amazing. A big thankyou to the person who saved this video for us
I find these kinds of old recordings to be so fascinating. No matter how much time passes, people are still people, and we all go about our lives, no matter the circumstances.
Damn so true, I just watched a video where a viking from the viking age had graffiti "halfdan was here" onto a famous building, and a kid from probably the 1200s named onfim doing his homework then probably getting sick of doing it, starts doodling pictures of him as a knight and other stuff haha. No matter how much time has past people remain the same. Even with advances in tech, we are still the same.
The fashions may be different, the clothes are different, but they look like people you could stop and talk to on the street. They're laughing, smiling, dancing, going about their daily business the same way we do now. It's always awe inspiring to have these glimpses into the past and see that across time and space, people really aren't that different in the ways that matter.
@@Wokevaccineit was one of layers of great reset. To make people turn like zombies that afraid of everything and insecure. How do you think all these amazing historical buildings were built if they had only horses and buggies? And how do you think they already have cameras of such good qualities around world at that time?
Creo que es porque antes para las cámaras usaban nitrato de plata que graba mejor los detalles por la plata a diferencia de las primeras cámaras virtuales que se les dificultaba captar los detalles.
what fascinates me the most is how every culture had a distinct look both in clothing as well as in the architecture and mood of the city. Nowadays it is all a blend
Today is a battle of blending cultures without eroding them. Unfortunately, it's kind of a losing battle. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, everything will eventually change. Although, I also think you could drop me back in 1890 and I wouldn't feel like an alien, which is comforting I suppose.
@@WolfColaUK Of course. You will surely be happy to be dragged into war to get a ball to the face in the name of a king. Or work your ass off for 12h+ getting a penny wage and no rights... Dont be silly. We have better world now.
They are telling us how conservative and formal they were when they were alive. The women are telling us how cool and calm they felt in their feminine energy because they were confident in their womanhood. They knew how to act like a lady. Throughout human history, images show that people dress the way they feel about themselves. In modern times, where we as women where pants, we are not as lady-like and secure in our womanhood like women were back in the 1890s. Time changes but moral values and the customs of our culture remains the same. When we change our customs and moral values, we create confusion and corruption.
@@evagrace6847 Nowadays, woman have the choice to wear what they want, how is this corruption? Womanhood is not about dresses that hide your legs... Womanhood is about expressing your true self, not wearing a dress for the other to judge you.
@@evagrace6847 lmfao aye ok, cause everyone wants the faff around putting on and wearing a heavy dress. Gtfo with that 😂😂 there was a time women were literally forbidden to show ankles cause men apparently can’t control themselves but sure these times were the peak of womanhood 💀😂
I`m a Japanese national, and quite interestingly, Tokyo in 1890`s looks more foreign land than any other cities in Europe during the equivalent period. Japan has changed so dramatically since that time on. Nihonbashi in this footage is now one of the most modern areas in Tokyo.
the youngest child in this video would've grown old and died by now, and the oldest person in this video could probably have remembered the Napoleonic war. and we can still see them, through this incredible window.
The oldest person in these (and the oldest person to appear in any moving picture known of) was Pope Leo XIII born in 1810. It's possible he would have remembered hearing of news like Napoleon's surrender or the 1815 Treaty of Paris as they happened, considering his family were members of the nobility. A child from the 1920s might be alive though. It's a pretty big timespan here, maybe something like 40 years between the earliest and latest footage.
Yes indeed. The people in this film felt secure in their manhood and womanhood. We can see how women were definitely lady-like. Conservatism and formality has its advantages over the disadvantages in which people of modern times see as an advantage.
My grandfather and father in law always wore a hat. They would get so mad if the saw a man wearing a hat while eating in a restaurant or inside a public building.
Looking into the past is a privilege you see people just getting on with their lives absolutely fantastic Now I’m going to watch it again for the third time
White women prefer dogs over babies and are committing white genocide suicudally podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy85YTY2MTMwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz/episode/NDM1ZGUzMmMtMDY3My00ZDZkLWE4YmItNjQwMDVkZDhiYWUz?ep=14
That's such a haunting feeling. All these people are gone and a completely new group of people exist now. 150 years from now none of us will be here and an unknown people will control the world. Unsettling but amazing.
@@DavetheAvatar Yep.. It's just our time to be around and do stuff, and have stuff and see stuff... soon it will be someone elses turn to be around and do stuff, and have stuff and see stuff..
my dads side of the family is french and my great grandfather immigrated to new york in 1882. he grew up in france in the 1860s-1880s. im so glad i got to meet him and he always told me intresting stories about his life and he just had a great personality. sadly he died in new york in the 1960s. i will always make sure my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids understand and be proud of their herritage.
Just imagine these people over a hundred years ago just walking on the streets, thinking about their lives, worrying about their futures, the small and big inconveniences of their lives, just like we do. And for this insignificant second in their lives to then be captured on film, made permanent. For the film to survive ctastrophes and wars, the change of centuries and even millenia and for someone to go trough the process of digitalising and colorising this footage, dozens of years after those who first filmed it have passed and after most of the people on the film have passed, for this to end up on the internet which in itself is an invention none of these people could have dreamed about and for us to view it.... It brings tears to my eyes, not only to see how far we've come, but also to see that as humans we are fundamentially the same as we we're then.
Most of the people in the film have passed??? Dude, that was 130 years ago, EVERYONE you see in those films is dead! A large portion during two horrific world wars.
It's so weird watching this knowing none of them have been alive for some time now. They're literally waving to future generations and don't even realize it!
They may have hoped that capturing themselves on film would mean their image was preserved for years to come. What is really crazy is how many other films and photographs have gotten lost or destroyed and will never be seen again. These lucky few get to live on and be seen by hundreds of thousands of people in 2020.
And yet every one of them is filled with ravenous hate and ready to devour your flesh should you make the mistake of breaking eye contact for even a second. It's a wonder anyone survived past infancy back then in such a harsh inhospitable time.
Interesting to see how people in different parts of the world kept up with the worldwide trends. The women were so fashionably dressed, the men in their suits, people wore hats and often umbrellas. A true fascination to watch!
In major cities yes they dressed up, these do not show the slums, tenament buildings, countryside ECT. Most did not have money for dresses and hats and suits, they wore beat up work clothes, jeans had just come out and started to take over, the first levi's jeans from 1870 something sold for over a 3 million not long ago, no back pockets or loops because everyone wore suspenders....look up slums in the 1800s life was horrible.
@@breakingames7772 This! Filming was quite a special (and expensive) thing back in the day. They chose the most worthy shots. Why would they go film a slum? Whenever there's old footage, people are surprised how "nice" and clean things were. Well, we have plenty of nice and clean places today in affluent neighborhoods. Same with old buildings: "They don't build them like they used to." Well, that's survivorship bias because only the most well-built and maintained structures survived and all the normal ones rotted away so we just don't know about them
It is not for nothing that Japan went from being a feudal state to a world power in less than 50 years, and despite losing the WW2 and the atomic attack, it is currently one of the most powerful countries on the earth
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
@@brushbros - In this age of leftists and liberals it certainly has become unliveable. What you see in the footage above is beautiful because it is what the divine intended - people being true to themselves and their culture. We are in the midst of a war where the left is trying to destroy all that and create a one world wide slave class of nothings and nobodies... and whether we let them succeed or not will determine if a rapture and God's intervention is required... or if we can finally grow by ourselves.
That's one of those clever witticisms that falls apart if you actually think about it. We cannot exist or live in the future because it is not yet here, nor can we exist or live in the past because that is gone. All we have, the only thing that is truly ours, is right now.
My dear grandfather, who was alive until my senior year in high school was a little boy in the 1890’s when these movies were made. Makes me feel REALLY old!
Such an enjoyable glimpse into the past. My grandmother was born in 1900. I loved to hear about her life. Those stories. And now it's my turn to be the old woman. I have a son who loves my stories. What a trip.
These people would never have imagined that we will be sitting here watching them on out laptops, smart phones and tablets over 100 years later... who will be watching us?
I imagine the fact that we're watching film of them that has been restored, colorized, and smoothed into a higher frame rate by artificial intelligence would be even more mind-boggling to them. :)
it's astonishing how much more emotion you see on every single persons face, people actually living in real life other than prioritizing technology more so, fantastic video.
I never understood these comments. Kids are STILL playing outside, and I rarely see anyone looking at their phones outside. Do we live in different worlds?
@@huzzzer6083 i live in north dakota of all places and you will never see a public space this alive with interaction outside of clubs. your area might be different, but too act like nowadays is even comparable to these clips is ludicrous
It definitely is a privilege. RUclips is as close to a time machine that we have. This is incredible. I know they’re just humans but this was basically a different world. I don’t know. I just don’t know how to properly put into words why I enjoy this stuff so much.
@@thesnorman5666I too love this stuff very deeply. I’ll look at old or vintage pictures of random strangers and feel connected to it. Maybe it’s the realization of my own mortality and one day, I’m going to be looked at the same way. Or maybe I long to see that life, and experience a time period foreign to me. Or maybe it’s something else. But it makes me emotional whatever it may be.
I remember my neighbors were born in 1897 and 1899. I'm 38 now and remember how cool it was they were born so long ago. I remember the husband would walk around the park across the street which was a mile around and pick up trash in his 90's.
I knew the story of how my great grandfather had emigrated from Scotland in 1890, but when my cousin gave me a stack of photos of my great grandparents and my grandfather as a child, it blew me away. Their dress, and demeanor was just like the people in these clips. I'm 65, but it made me realize that I am no so removed by time from those people.
Those style of fashion, clothes, buildings, street cars, advertisement signage, etc. were normal to them. To me, I'm just mesmerized being able to look at all of this. They had no idea people in the distant future would look back at them with great curiosity and interest wondering what their daily lives were like.
What we take for normal in our times will be looked on with curiosity and interest by those living in the future. What for them was their norm is now quaint and interesting to us now.
Exactly what I think to myself all the time. It's crazy how it looks so different but to them it was just normal like they saw nothing wrong wearing those clothes during that heat haha but damn I wonder how they talked, how they looked at life and etc I love history
and things we filming now, gonna be a time machine of poeples in 100 years, at the time 1890 is only 130 years ago, and ww2 is only like 80 years ago the time changed so much in short period of time
Thinking about how every single person in these videos had parents and grandparents and so on. I know it's obvious that would be the case but just thinking about the sheer amount of the people that's have experienced life and how they have all had their own individual experiences and perceptions of the world around us, absolutely blows my mind. 🌍
I agree amazing where it takes your chain of thought. Our spirits, our energy for ever being passed on meaning the people of yesterday are here with us today, just in a slightly different from. We are all interconnected. Only political agendas divide us. And Morden day circumstances. Love is natural. Hate is taught.✌️
I admire the way you think and see the world we need more people in general who are like you in that regard! Every time I show such videos or talk about such things to my friends they say I'm being weird or stupid My friends and most people on earth don't like to take the time to think about such stuff that shows you what life really is It feels great seeing people out there who shares the same fascination of how life works and stop to think a while beyond him/her self as me so thank you so much
@@mrknightt yeah cause the farmers, dancing school kids, and Bachelorettes totally had a say in colonization. You people that have no respect for history are the worst.
I always find watching these old clips intensely moving. It puts one's own life in a whole new perspective: and a very diminutive one at that. All that is left of any of these people's lives is a few seconds of celluloid - and they were the lucky ones.
Yes, we are in this world for a while and one day all that will be left of us will be footage or pics. Gone forever just like them and previous generations. Time flies, it won’t take long.
People had a different perspective on life back then. Nobody really cared about having a lasting impact on the world. Most people found joy in having lots of kids. If you notice the video clips are full of children. That is because people had a lot more kids back then knowing their time on this Earth was short. They had but one purpose and that was to reproduce to ensure the family line continued on. Everyone in this video is long dead but some of their children might still be alive. Certainly many grandchildren are alive. That is their living legacy.
My grandma was a nurse and when she told me when she worked at a nursing home when she was my age (20) she would help old ladies put their corsets on in the morning. She was taking care of the people in this video in the 50s. This time is so far away but also not that far away at the same time. I loved this footage!
The one that stood out the most to me was Tokyo, everywhere else looked the same but Tokyo looked different. Japanese were still wearing their traditional garments/Kimonos back then.
Seriously, Tokyo is a urban powerhouse these days with it's bright lights, bustling streets surrounded by tall buildings that never rest. It was seriously fascinating.
Many Asian countries were very... turned inside? I don't know how to explain this, my English's a lil wack today. China and Japan thought they were better than everyone else and just closed their countries. Nothing goes out and nothing goes in. That's why they look so different, they were basically still in the middle ages, when the first foreigners could enter. Read about the arrival of the black ships in 1853,very interesting.
@@birdgirl8390 It is completely false, they were not as integrated in mondialisation as occidental countries but saying that they were totally closed to the rest of the world is really a false statement
I grew up my entire life hearing how different the world was, it wasnt. The same young faces, same hopes and dreams and aspirations. Every single person in these videos have passed on and I really hope they led amazing lives, and loved and were loved by people that were special to them. Live your lives to the fullest people, it goes by so fast.
What's sad is.. It's right there. In front of you; An entirely different world, with people you'll never get to know or meet. It's right in front of you. But you can not interact with them. You can not talk about their lives. You can not warn them for the coming war. You can't even touch them. Many of them, we could have biological ties with. We can only reside in the world they left us. They never knew we would eventually exist. It's a bizarre one way stream.
Europe changes irreversibly with each day that passes. With foreign faces making up larger and larger percentages of nations that once knew themselves. Who's hopes and dreams are almost entirely financial, because after all, what do they know of the old England? Or Germany? Or Sweden? What is a nation if it's people are replaced?
I love seeing all these different types of garments worn in each video. They are all so different yet- all of the dresses are perfectly fitted to their bodies.
Now we all look (mostly) dressed drably the same . Individually and in each nation, we all dress alike .Part of the globalists nasty plan , you can be sure. The fewer differences, the easier to control. Loved the video for the rest, but sadly all is see is how far we have regressed as a society in each country.
@@retired3711 Just imagine how bad they smelled. Perfume wasn't just for smelling good; it was used to hide body odor. Same with tea; it was used to mask the smell of nasty water.
Anybody else surprised by how techy they were? Busses, cars, slidewalks, trains, trams, electricity, lightbulbs and of course film, all in the 1800s, no less!
No, if you know a little about the 1800s you'd know it was a very techy time and there were rapid changes, especially when the mid to late 1800s came about. A lot of the tech we have now had it's foundation in the 1800s. Plus, the 1800s wasn't that long ago. I think a lot of people confuse the 1800s with the 1700s vibe.
A lot of the fashions from these videos are late 1890's. Practically turn of the century. That wasn't that long ago. Many of the urban centers showcased in this video were more "techy" than the average place, too.
It’s amazing what a little color and speed change will do for the feeling of these old films. Really brings life to these old pictures, almost like you can feel what it’s like to be standing there with those people of yester-year. Makes you feel somewhat more connected to the past. Just awesome!
Had exactly the same feeling. I find old black and white films always have this ethereal, dreamlike quality to them that removes me from the experience. So much more relatable and “real” when restored in this way.
I am duly impressed with the elegance and attire of especially the French and Germans. Even the way the French moved had an air of sophistication. This was an utter delight and I played it in slow motion so I could savour it. Thank you.
@@thatsalright9389 At least you didn't die in your 20's because of the world war, the russian revolution, famine or the spanish flue. But yes, the world was certainly a better place at this time... progress didn't bring anything good at all.
People 100 years ago could never have imagined that 100 years later, people would be holding square - shaped devices to observe their lives. This is the significance of photography.
Why I wish headstones had the ability for a pre-record'ed message. Imagine the hours you could spend in a cemetery listening to the dead from a century or more ago.
@@lucyb7906 They exist but they're linked to the internet for a service that could be shut down at any moment. Imagine going down to the Arlington National Cemetery and listening to each of their life story,It would become one of the biggest tourist attractions in the nation.
Magical-Thank you! The contrast of Jerusalem, with old style clothes, walking slowly who resembled Biblical times, and the scene of the stylish Parisian gals walking up near the Eiffel Tower that seemed so modern and frantic. And the two votes are less than 3,000 miles apart.
Two amazing things stick out to me. People always dressed well and there was hardly an overweight person to be found. We nearly eliminated infectious disease but traded it for chronic disease.
Not true friend death strongly lived among them especially around the young have u ever walked through a very old cemetery and looked at grave stones you'll find so man children and young people. It's only pretty much from the 70's-80's we started taking things that were harming people seriously and now we're living a lot longer than back then
@@Miz_amie no offense but please reread what I wrote. My last sentence is in regards to our current day situation. We eliminated the diseases that used to kill children and traded it for obesity and chronic disease.
People actually knew how to cook. There was a nuclear family, where both genders had roles. But all that has been broken down. So people buy fast food now.
Well for one, that we still have these films is a treasure, that they have been tastefully colorized is also a bonus, that someone spent the money to restore them for us to see is also a bonus, thank you. Sadly, no one or thing is still alive from any of these moving pictures. If they had sound that would have been amazing.
I'm just impressed of how developed and complex Europe was. They truly were ahead of their time, and then they invented the camera, so that we from the future can see just how incredible they were. Wish I could see other parts of the world too.
@@marcopony1897 qumra as in the first thing that taught us about how cameras work. Word camera comes from qumra. Qumra is what the persian scientist called it which means dark chamber.
@@konodioda1268 Right the first concept of a camera came from china, and early iterations were seen in the middle east, but the permanent cameras of any modern utilization were invented by the Europeans. Just like airplanes. Plenty of cultures all across the world have been thinking of ways to fly, but airplanes and flying inventions of modern utility, came from the Europeans. It's no surprise, as Europe was so technologically ahead, but obviously they couldn't have done it without the brilliance of people all across the world, throughout history.
Its hard for my brain to process that this footage is actually REAL! its not a movie this is 100% real footage! Its incredible how long ago this was filmed and the quality of it, good job with the editing!
To me, cars(transportation) are like a Time Traveling machine, but I’m sure better defined as a time saver. What took someone months or longer depending on route, would take somebody nowadays a couple days. A few days travel into a few hours, so on and so forth.
It could be the bad quality and sepia tonalities making the recordings feel old (which they are) and therefore nostalgic. Kind of like how lo-fi music make some people feel nostalgic because of the apparent low quality.
It’s incredible how we can have such precious relics from the past like these recordings. It really gives you the understanding that these were at one point breathing and living people in our world and in the near future we’ll be the ones on camera for generations to come.
Hats were used as fashion, weather protection (a tan was unfashionable), modesty and wealth statement. They were also used in communication and for some women, to hide their weaponised hat pins. It was really not done if one goes outside without a hat or head covering of any kind. Even servants wore hats when outside. There was also a time where married women wore 2 head coverings at a time, one for indoors and they added the second when venturing outside. (Sorry, I'm an amateur fashion historian.) And people were actually quite clean, hair doesn't really get greasy as quickly as you might think. If you are used to washing it once a week, your scalp adapts, and they didn't nearly used as much hair products as they do now. They meticulously brushed & combed their hair at least once a day to distribute the oils from the scalp to the ends, decreasing the buildup on the scalp. They also washed themselves quite often.
The The Hague one nearly made me cry, it's where I'm from and the fact that the footage seemed like it had some actual audio just blew me away, those could have been my great grandparents talking
It doesn’t have actual audio, it is a separate soundtrack somebody have recorded and overlaid, likely decades later. This is standard with soundless footage if you don’t put music over it.
My favorites are seeing celebrations. I can't quite put my finger on why, there's just something about knowing people have always liked having any excuse to come together to have a good time

Actually, it is more likely that all records of our time will not be available any more in the future. Think about digital media and how transient each medium has been.

It's wildly fascinating to observe real footage of people and the world as it existed over 100 years ago. Almost scary to even think we're actually able to see this. They had no idea that a couple of million people in the year 2021 would be using alien devices and technology to view and discuss their exact moments at that time.
Mom would have been right at home in this era- she had a general store that looked like it was straight out of the 1890's, with a tin ceiling, pot- bellied stove, soda fountain with a marble- topped counter and brass footrail, etc. Just before she died, we were working on a tea shop, it was to be named "Anna's Edwardian Tea Room". Mom passed before the tea shop was completed.
I'm sorry that she passed before completion, but I'm sure that she was there beside you every step of the way afterwards, making sure everything was up to par :)
@@mosart7025 The general store was named "Twin Maples Farm Store", it was on our farm in upstate N.Y., near Lowville, in Lewis County. We got foreclosed in the 1990's, the building containing the store went in the foreclosure auction, the new owners gutted the store. To build the 1890's feel, we went to architectural salvage shops on Canal St. in Manhattan, and spent the entire day buying period fixtures. The soda fountain proper was a great find, I recall that we found it all in one shop, the spouts, the tray with the compartments for toppings, etc. we had to retrofit the spouts to accept the pressurized soda canisters. Then, we found the stools, footrail, countertop, etc. in other shops up and down Canal St. Even back then, that stuff was fairly expensive. I have photos of the old store. We lost the farm due to the incompetence and probable criminal actions of our family attorney, whom I am in the process of suing.
@@mosart7025 My mom's mom, my Polish grandmother, had a soda shop in Buffalo, N.Y., probably in the late 1920's. Somewhere, there still exists the one and only photo of the interior of gramma's shop. It was very impressive. I need to start emailing relatives to find that photo. I come from a family that took photos of EVERYTHING.
Great footage! Amazing to see this window into the past! Just one correction: 1897 there was no Czech Republic. 1897 Bohemia was part of Austria-Hungarian Empire.
Man, i could watch this old footage all day. When this video was recorded, my great great grandparents were just starting their families (my oldest great grandfather was born in 1899 and his dad was born in 1872. Pretty amazing footage.

Crazy to think that roughly 24 short years later, some of the youngest children in these videos would have departed for the front lines of WWI, by the time WWII rolled around the children here would nearly be middle aged, most of the adults in the video had probably passed away by that time. These people had no idea that they were within touching distance of global destruction and conversely, unimaginable technological advancement. They had no idea that this video would be watched 130 years later by people all over the world. So many lives and experiences: each face with its own story, love, heartbreak, fear, pride. What a treasure this video is.
You're comment should be #1. Not these npc comments from bots saying 'wow technology'. It's true 1890 was the begining of the shift to our modern world . Many changes to the world order were happening at this time. #1. For one languages and dialects were dying at an alarming rate. England and Germany were the first to start standardization of national languages. In London many spoke Cockney English, by 1980 RP English(The Queens English) had become main dialect of all English in Britian. Mexico , 82% of the population still spoke Native American languages at this time, by around 1940 w/ stndardization and mandatory public education and SPanish being mandatory the native langauges of all mexicans dropped to about 10% by 1980 and a foreign colonial langauge like Spanish became spoken by 90% of population. Within 100 years it took , you see something similar right now with China and Mandarin , Singapore and South China are losing their dialects to standardazition. I think 100 years from now we may be speaking Esperanto.
Point 2. Yes, many of these kids would go on to grow up in the Great Depression, Civil Wars and WW1 and fought in them. The Balkan Wars, the Spanish civil war, the Mexican civil war, Russian overthrow of royals, Creation of a unified Germany < would be like if Germany, Tyrol and Austria all united right now > , the fall of the Ottomon Empire < would be if France collapsed today > .
Point 3, The kids in this video raise the GI generation , the same GI generation that caused the Boomer generation to go into self destruct rebellion mode. You see, many Boomers said they vowed to never treat their children the same way that their parents had done to them.. This was because Boomers parents were giving a55 beating to near death by a psychologically tramatized genreation that raised them.. the little kids here that went through a world shift.
@@chibiromano5631 I would agree with the broad point of your first argument, Galen. I would qualify it slightly, in that the homogenisation of dialect and accent in England you speak of was not as uniform as you might think and was and is subject to class, occupation and travel from place of origin. During the 1890s, there were certain changes occurring as people migrated to the cities, but for the most part people simply did not have the opportunity to be exposed to other accents and dialects in the frequency that would have caused significant changes. It would be the arrival of mass media - for most after the arrival of widespread television viewing from the late 50s - that would cause the effect that you perceive today - and in some cases that effect took a much longer time to influence than you'd expect. I live in a city in the South East of England, and still very much spoke with a local accent and elements of dialect well into the 1980s. It wasn't the traditional RP of the upper classes (more of a Home Counties dialect) but the estuary English of East London that subsequently had the most impact on how I and younger people in my area speak differently today. That change is accelerating even more rapidly today with the ready dissemination of new slangs and accents - not from RP but from 'street' styles of speech that young people want to emulate to sound cool, even though they have little to no real exposure to those accents in their real life. At the same time, I retain the ability to speak in my local accent, and to adopt a 'Standard English' accent in professional roles where required. I've no doubt that young people will be capable of doing something similar and being able to segue from one accent to another depending upon the situation. My grandmother was a speaker of Esperanto, which she believed was a language through which nations could unite after the horrors of the world wars. I would predict instead that we will see a continuation of words and phrases migrating from one language to another, accelerated by their proliferation across the internet. However, vocabulary from tonal languages that are harder to master such as Chinese will find this exchange more difficult than words arriving from simpler languages such as Spanish, Bangla, Japanese and English.
Ya know, as i watched this video, nearly every single thought that went through my head i see here in this comment. Especially thinking how they have no idea the tragedy about to touch them all. Hopefully we are not in the same situation now!
@@MinesAGuinness The cockney accent was always seen as low class fodder.
@@johnbuffaloiam9741 Yes, it's disturbing how the establishment continue to promote 'Standard English' through how we now teach in the National Curriculum, as if it is the 'proper' grammar and pronunciation rather than an affectation they prefer, John. Cockney's a fine accent with an ancient pedigree of course, stretching back to East Saxon dialect of Old English.

They are telling us how conservative and formal they were when they were alive. The women are telling us how cool and calm they felt in their feminine energy because they were confident in their womanhood. They knew how to act like a lady. Throughout human history, images show that people dress the way they feel about themselves. In modern times, where we as women where pants, we are not as lady-like and secure in our womanhood like women were back in the 1890s. Time changes but moral values and the customs of our culture remains the same. When we change our customs and moral values, we create confusion and corruption.

Really!!! You mean people don’t live to be in their 130s?
The oldest person in these (and the oldest person to appear in any moving picture known of) was Pope Leo XIII born in 1810. It's possible he would have remembered hearing of news like Napoleon's surrender or the 1815 Treaty of Paris as they happened, considering his family were members of the nobility. A child from the 1920s might be alive though. It's a pretty big timespan here, maybe something like 40 years between the earliest and latest footage.
Indeed, it's really amazing but gives me strange feeling.
Yes indeed. The people in this film felt secure in their manhood and womanhood. We can see how women were definitely lady-like. Conservatism and formality has its advantages over the disadvantages in which people of modern times see as an advantage.

Just imagine these people over a hundred years ago just walking on the streets, thinking about their lives, worrying about their futures, the small and big inconveniences of their lives, just like we do. And for this insignificant second in their lives to then be captured on film, made permanent. For the film to survive ctastrophes and wars, the change of centuries and even millenia and for someone to go trough the process of digitalising and colorising this footage, dozens of years after those who first filmed it have passed and after most of the people on the film have passed, for this to end up on the internet which in itself is an invention none of these people could have dreamed about and for us to view it.... It brings tears to my eyes, not only to see how far we've come, but also to see that as humans we are fundamentially the same as we we're then.
Incredible perspective dude
Most of the people in the film have passed??? Dude, that was 130 years ago, EVERYONE you see in those films is dead! A large portion during two horrific world wars.

It's so weird watching this knowing none of them have been alive for some time now. They're literally waving to future generations and don't even realize it!
And here we are watching them. 2020
They may have hoped that capturing themselves on film would mean their image was preserved for years to come. What is really crazy is how many other films and photographs have gotten lost or destroyed and will never be seen again. These lucky few get to live on and be seen by hundreds of thousands of people in 2020.

@@brushbros - In this age of leftists and liberals it certainly has become unliveable. What you see in the footage above is beautiful because it is what the divine intended - people being true to themselves and their culture. We are in the midst of a war where the left is trying to destroy all that and create a one world wide slave class of nothings and nobodies... and whether we let them succeed or not will determine if a rapture and God's intervention is required... or if we can finally grow by ourselves.
That's one of those clever witticisms that falls apart if you actually think about it. We cannot exist or live in the future because it is not yet here, nor can we exist or live in the past because that is gone. All we have, the only thing that is truly ours, is right now.

People had a different perspective on life back then. Nobody really cared about having a lasting impact on the world. Most people found joy in having lots of kids. If you notice the video clips are full of children. That is because people had a lot more kids back then knowing their time on this Earth was short. They had but one purpose and that was to reproduce to ensure the family line continued on. Everyone in this video is long dead but some of their children might still be alive. Certainly many grandchildren are alive. That is their living legacy.

@@flarius5461 nah thats bs, top hats were pretty popular back then as a fashion statement
hats were often used back then to cover greasy hair since showers and everyday bathing wasn’t common
Edit: Hats we’re also used for fashion.
I’ve always wondered this too. Literally every single person has a top hat even the kids😂🤣
Hats were used as fashion, weather protection (a tan was unfashionable), modesty and wealth statement. They were also used in communication and for some women, to hide their weaponised hat pins. It was really not done if one goes outside without a hat or head covering of any kind. Even servants wore hats when outside. There was also a time where married women wore 2 head coverings at a time, one for indoors and they added the second when venturing outside. (Sorry, I'm an amateur fashion historian.) And people were actually quite clean, hair doesn't really get greasy as quickly as you might think. If you are used to washing it once a week, your scalp adapts, and they didn't nearly used as much hair products as they do now. They meticulously brushed & combed their hair at least once a day to distribute the oils from the scalp to the ends, decreasing the buildup on the scalp. They also washed themselves quite often.
Please consider making more videos just like this. Very old video with excellent music. I just love this!

@@taketheredpill123 "modestly" yeah to a 90 year old XD
@@theputinator8067 Old grannies still dress like that sometimes, here in Slovakia too it's not rare at all to see an old woman in a traditional dress and a handkerchief on a regular day, though the majority of people dress normally of course.
I think it's amazing seeing the children and babies. Knowing even they have had an entire lifetime and passed on. Sort of scary.
We're next
@@raccoonraccoonraccoonracco7561 On my way to my 30s... (27 right now) Time flies by so fast... I'm just surprised by the social cohesion and love on display. People actually interacting with each other and strangers. People dancing and laughing, throwing hats. So many luxiries we've gotten over the years, and yet.. We've become so distant..
I guess death is the one thing that in the end, ties us all back together. With or without afterlife.
nobody gets out alive, except Elon Musk of course
We next 130 years from now people will be doing the same sifting through the ruins of our time
Do you ever get the feeling you’ve been there before? Every time I watch these videos, there’s a sense of familiarity. I can’t explain it
Wow.. imagine a world with no phone in sight upon hundreds of people.. this video shows that. Just people having fun and how it was like before advanced technology. Look at ANY video of todays world of many people out in public and everyone is buried in their phone. I sound like an old man, I’m only 21, but this just really puts it into perspective for me. I love phones and all and it’s how we are able to look back at these videos from back then but it was so different it’s crazy
"They appear to be people just like us but they dress so strangely," said the man from 1890 looking into the 21st Century.
Probably they would think girls dress like whores and boys like idiots
Our friend from 1890 might also say, "Where are the horses? How do these people function without horses?"
And therein lies the truth of it all: technologies change, cultures change, languages and borders and styles change, but people are people, and the new and unfamiliar will always excite our curiosity.

nowadays anyone can have cameras in their cellphone, but imagine back then the idea to immortalize those moments !! these clips are priceless. Thanks for sharing
It's so interesting looking so far back, and also makes me think about how well documented everything is now a days. Good or bad, in the future, people will be able to see videos and pictures of practically anything they'd like. Also makes me appreciate youtube more, little glimpses into different points of time, even if it's recent. I think it's something people will appreciate more as time goes by.
and everythiing we type now is recorded forever on some database.
Actually, it is more likely that all records of our time will not be available any more in the future. Think about digital media and how transient each medium has been. Accessiblilty of media as well as refreshing of storage is a big problem. Records like books are more likely to last than our zeros and ones.
This is why I’m photophobic, and will never upload a selfie online. I’m terrified of just my ugly face being forever preserved online.
I really doubt anyone would care of it, but I can imagine a future way down the line were you can choose past peoples lives to live out in a video game, and I really don’t want my ugly face as a npc or anywhere in that futuristic idea my head just came up with. It terrifies me.
It's just insane how advanced technology become for only 1 century, yet Earth is 4.5 billion years old... just imagine in 1000 years... I hope Earth and Humanity to survive...
What a big emotion to watch our grand-grand parents in their lifes and in colours.
didn't see my mexican grand grand parents in those because there is no footage about brown people to be found in that period
@@jacobdyer9164 Yes, it was a very different society with different moral values.
@@jacobdyer9164 stop romanticizing that period of time like that. humans are and always were like they are today, nowadays we have technology but beside that we were always violent, disrespectful and inconsiderate towards one another. it seems like a lot of people don’t understand that we haven’t changed much. planet earth was and still is a shithole. we’re never going to change.
@@jasmim6612 We were EXTREMELY EXTREMELY more violent than that, the further you go back in time the more we were, we have never been as good as today, everyone. Today only 0.4-0.5% of people in the world die because of other men, in prehistoric times 25% and in the Middle Ages 10%, in the eighteenth century 3% and in 1900-1950% 2%.
@@jasmim6612 wouldn’t say earth is a shit hole earth has a lot to offer there’s amazing things me and you have never seen that would blow our minds about earth it’s the humans that have made earth a not very fun place to live lol
I don't know why after watching this video. I'm depressed, sad and shattered. Someone will watch us the same way as we are watching them. Man, life is to short. Look at all these beautiful people, smiling, dancing, happy are no longer with us.. ☹️
Enjoy life while it last
I feel the same way as you do… it’s really depressing to realise our own mortality… but there’s nothing we can do about it. Just enjoy while we can and leave our environment a little bit better than we found it. Sending you love.
I feel the same way....makes me sad. But it also inspires me to live my best life each day. Loved what you wrote. ❤
They will probably watch us on their holograms hundred years from now, who knows
Life isn't short, it's long. Remember these important things in life, friends, family and breathing.
I was born in 1994, when I was in 5th grade, my teacher showed us a documentary filmed the year of our birth of a group of senior people who had been born in 1894 who were interviewed about the century of progress they had witnessed. I don't know if I can live til 2094, but I sure hope it's amazing--as amazing as going from a childhood traveling by horse to landing on the moon & home computers & flying in the sky.
@Willow I'm from 1994 too and I'm jealous, because, to school I went to never did that. We did make a time capsule. You will live until 2094 if you live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
@@dvchel Haha yeah, or you can get some brain aneurysm at 34 and check out.
@@dvchel my great grandmother from my mom's side lived to 106, and my granparents are 90 and going, but from my dad's side, they all died at 50-60 to every illness possible 💀and my dad has all the shit on his heart
I have to pray to have my mom's side genes
I am also born in 94. I don't know if I'll make it then but it would be so damn cool.
@Josh Traffanstedt This doesn't even include external factors like just randomly getting hit by a bus...
marvelous ! I enjoy so much time capsules like this - I love to explore this era so much - this footages are so precious
It's wildly fascinating to observe real footage of people and the world as it existed over 100 years ago. Almost scary to even think we're actually able to see this. They had no idea that a couple of million people in the year 2021 would be using alien devices and technology to view and discuss their exact moments at that time.
They will come back to this earth year 3000 right now they are in a simulation
Mom would have been right at home in this era- she had a general store that looked like it was straight out of the 1890's, with a tin ceiling, pot- bellied stove, soda fountain with a marble- topped counter and brass footrail, etc. Just before she died, we were working on a tea shop, it was to be named "Anna's Edwardian Tea Room". Mom passed before the tea shop was completed.

I'm sorry that she passed before completion, but I'm sure that she was there beside you every step of the way afterwards, making sure everything was up to par :)
A working soda fountain? Where was this? It sounds really fun.
@@mosart7025 The general store was named "Twin Maples Farm Store", it was on our farm in upstate N.Y., near Lowville, in Lewis County. We got foreclosed in the 1990's, the building containing the store went in the foreclosure auction, the new owners gutted the store. To build the 1890's feel, we went to architectural salvage shops on Canal St. in Manhattan, and spent the entire day buying period fixtures. The soda fountain proper was a great find, I recall that we found it all in one shop, the spouts, the tray with the compartments for toppings, etc. we had to retrofit the spouts to accept the pressurized soda canisters. Then, we found the stools, footrail, countertop, etc. in other shops up and down Canal St. Even back then, that stuff was fairly expensive. I have photos of the old store. We lost the farm due to the incompetence and probable criminal actions of our family attorney, whom I am in the process of suing.
@@mosart7025 My mom's mom, my Polish grandmother, had a soda shop in Buffalo, N.Y., probably in the late 1920's. Somewhere, there still exists the one and only photo of the interior of gramma's shop. It was very impressive. I need to start emailing relatives to find that photo. I come from a family that took photos of EVERYTHING.
Why do i feel such nostalgia for a time i never lived?
Because we all share the same world, we just visit and eventually leave.
Past lives?
It's all in your dna son
feeling nostalgia for a shitier time period.? ok, go for it
I know exactly what you mean. It feels like home
One of my favorite videos to watch on RUclips.
Thanks that people were capturing these images and had the forethought to realize how precious the first images of photography were.
I absolutely agree
Thank you for putting together a trip back in time.Thought how accurate period movie sets & costume designers are!
Great footage! Amazing to see this window into the past! Just one correction: 1897 there was no Czech Republic. 1897 Bohemia was part of Austria-Hungarian Empire.
And there is no Czech Republic today.. its Czechia
Man, i could watch this old footage all day. When this video was recorded, my great great grandparents were just starting their families (my oldest great grandfather was born in 1899 and his dad was born in 1872. Pretty amazing footage.
