Hi everyone, there was a little hiccup, and the descriptions for the colorized images got lost. I've reuploaded the video WITH the descriptions: ruclips.net/video/nbEi8pmiC4w/видео.html
I'm new here, do you have anything from the 19th century especially civil war Era?
Great channel! And a great job on the colorizing! There were a few surprises with Charlie Chaplin and Thomas Edison! You have a new subscriber!
How true
What so amazing is that the ladies and the men had style and it was personal they all Were capable of being themselves and so so smart.
Some of them may have had style, but no way to verify if they were smart.
By "smart," he meant smartly dressed, not brain smart.
*If they had money, they had style.* Same as it's always been.
It was considered Blasphemy back then.
Travelling back in time would be my dream. Every decade of the 20th century and stay 1 year per decade. The experience would be unbeatable.
Exactly thank you my friend I didn’t know anybody else could think that way!!!!!as do I
Until one becomes sick. In 2013 I had triple bypass surgery. Not possible back then. No modern drugs. No antibiotics.
It still would be worth it. Today they are trying to kill use.
@@user-yn3si4nh1gyep, the governments worldwide are thinking up ways to cull their national populations. Too many people, and so little pension money, we are in trouble. Wars will soon become People vs State 😂
*Make sure you don't catch Spanish Influenza, tuberculosis, or small pox.* No penicillin until 1929.
I really love the clothes from the 20s.
We now are in the 20s.
@@GTRPGeisterfahrer The 1920s. You knew what I meant.
They were so much more classy and modest back then. ❤
Come the 30s millions were walking in rags
People were so well dressed back then and not a lot of over weight people either. Great colorization 👍
The luxury of being overweight for the majority wasn't there yet. If you look at statistics, obesity rises with the popularity of fast food and later with Welfare, as many states give quite a bit of money to those on the system for food and there are no restrictions on what they can buy with their EBT card (so long as it's "food"). They can literally spend all their food money on donuts and soda. Keep in mind that in New York the food allowance for a family of three under the poverty line is about $500 a month. During covid, NY was giving out double that amount to those on welfare for the whole of the last three years. Doctors in the 1920s also were not afraid to tell their patients to lose weight for their health if they were getting pudgy.
@@baylorsailor People walked more back then and were outdoors more as well(no TV), no air conditioning, so the body works to stay cool in summer. And lets not forget strong fat shaming existed 30 plus years ago.
If you study enough Google images, you see that obesity did _not_ grow with an expanding economy. The US economy exploded immediately after WWII, but the fat explosion occurs in the 1980s. There were three major areas that the US changed _suddenly_ within the decade of the 70s, making the 80s substantially different from the 60s.
1. Eating habits changed dramatically. Prior to the 70s, nearly everyone ate only three times a day with almost nothing but water between meals. There were no vending machines in schools and workplaces. There were no break rooms with microwaves and refrigerators. Schoolchildren and office workers did not eat at their desks, nobody brought in donuts. People got water, maybe coffee with sugar, during a single break in the morning and another in the afternoon. Kids came home from school and had to wait until dinner. There was virtually no snacking. I distinctly recall in the later 60s when the food industry _invented_ the "after school snack" and started pushing mothers to have snack food on hand. After the 70s, people had snack food constantly available and many people began consuming calories nearly every waking hour of the day.
2. Ultra-processing of fast and junk foods was spun up during the 70s. The mantra at the time was "better living through chemistry," and food became highly chemicalized. Yes, there was "fast food" prior to the 70s, but "fast food" in the 60s was just whole food cooked in casual restaurants. "TV Dinners" were regular food that was cooked and simply frozen. Wheat in the 60s was still pretty much the same wheat of fifty years earlier. The creation of ultra-processed foods was from the 70s.
@@baylorsailor Obesity isn't a problem of the poor, it's an issue with modern western civilisation, you can eat fast food and still be slim if you burn those calories off. The real issue, especially in western society is lack of movement, too fond of cars and binging on Netflix and social media.
How many kids today do we see playing on the streets or in local neighbourhoods ? they're all on screens.
Obesity isn't a welfare issue it's a society issue.
@@vanillaexplosion99 lol fat shaming is probably hate speech today.
This is beautiful. The 1920s, 30s and 40s were the most amazing times. I love everything vintage, especially the music ️🎶❤️
Bigotry still abounded. The pictures do not depict Negros and Whites together. Some towns had curfew laws in placed and inforced directed towards the Negros (Colored People) of the city; town.😣
*Two world wars and depressions in between.* Amazingly amazing.
Большое спасибо! Привет из России! С Новым Годом!👍🎄
Everyone knew what they were then. Great times of my great grandparents generation.
it seems 1880 to like 1950 was the golden generation. The best decade (and the most destructive) was 1890's. Lots of stuff happened in Nevada and California
Not great if you were black, native, Jewish, gay, wanted a beer, worried about lead poisoning, asbestos in houses, wanted a 40 hour work week, did not want child labour, or were a woman (they just barely got the right to vote, but were still expected to be at home and sexism was rampant).
Those rose colored glasses, some keep them quite snuggly on their face.
@@bartwfielder the golden generation aka reset generation where people weren't allowed to talk about family origins (mass genetic engineering and incubators).
This is the decade that my father was born. My grandparents, born in the late 1800's were young adults like many in these pics in the 20's. I always love to see pics like these. Thanks for taking time to create this.
My parents were born in the 20’s, so I love to see pictures from that time. I don’t think my grandmother was a flapper, though. They lived on a farm so fashion wasn’t a big deal. But, my mother dressed beautifully and fashionably when she was young, and before the war broke out. Things were rationed then, even fabric.
My grandparents were all born in the 1910s, but my childhood neighbors were born in the late 1800s, died in the 1990s. One of my favorite things in the world was sitting with them for hours and listening to all their vivid stories of life in a completely different world than we know today. Back when horse and buggies weren’t just for the Amish .. ;)
He had a gnarly scar on his leg from getting his foot caught in the wagon spokes as a kid; walked with a limp for the rest of his life.
I truly miss hanging out with this generation. They’re a different breed of people, even compared to those born in the 30s who’re still living. I’d give anything if I could have had more time with them.
You did an excellent job colorizing the film. That was my grandparents time of being young. Really can see the sign of the times what was important to society in the 1920s.
Not film. Just foto slides. And there's many places, where was a wrong colour. Too much times
@@pravdanet Yep, its rather easy and simple AI Colorization, something i don´t like at all, also because its becoming widespread for no good reason. If you´ll look for Photo or Film colorization by hand, you´ll need to search for quite a while.
it's so weird to think that all these people are deceased now whereas there was one point in my life that these people were alive . im 57...really makes you think about mortality
Funny. I'm 54 and I was just thinking that very same thing then stumbled onto your comment. These people were my grandfather's age. He passed in the 90's in his 80's. When girls were girls and men were men.
@@booberry6715 54 here too and can not agree more!
I was thinking the same…all gone, but left their mark somehow
On February 5, 2024 a woman in the northern California town of Willits celebrated her 116th birthday. She is the oldest confirmed living person in the USA and a few months younger than the oldest in the world living in Spain. There are many other people well over a century still alive and it's possible one or more could have been pictured in any of these photographs.
@@netescape7771 sure its possible but not likely ... take in for account the majority of people are older than 20 in most of these pics you would have been a infant or toddler or small child when these were taken. my comment was more about mortality than facts about maybe 1 or 2 people might still be alive today
The way they presented and carried themselves was self-respect and pride, unlike these days.
*You should watch a movie or read books from that era and then come back and revise your comment.* LOL
Beautiful photographs and great music to go with them. Love it!
The music in this one really is great.
Vintage treasures, Very good job here. I am into history and love the 1920's-1940's scenes! I love how well-the people dressed back in these eras and the cars as well! Thanks for the upload.
Outstanding. Colorizing brings the past into a closer retrospect to the present. I always wondered what it was like when my Grandmother was growing up.
I would love to go back and live in the 20's before the depression hit just to see and feel what it was like.
*Get all your vaccinations first.* And don't get too close to anyone or you might give them COVID19.
Wonderful job! Fantastic colorization which really brings the feeling of the era to life. We have gained some things in the last 100 years but we have lost a whole lot too!
Surprisingly, coloration makes so many of the women look current
.... and beautiful
Wonderful era,no iPhones ,no PCs and everyone much happier than todays.
I once owned a house that was built in 1921, these photos feel so right for it and has made my experience with it so much deeper … thank you !
Very classy and well put together! The color just gives everything more depth and detail. Thank you for all the effort it must have taken. Instant LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!
Bravo. Pumping up the color was brilliant. These seem to the most lifelike vintage photos I’ve ever see. thanks!
What a difference color makes‼️ You did a great job.
A significant difference noticed between Americans of then to now is percentage carried body fat seen with any class of people from age to heritage. They were far leaner than today's over all and we all know why.
From sugar and processed carbs.
And no factory raised cows and chickens. No fast food garbage.
I think Mr Ronald McDonald deserves a special mention on this topic.
Where did yoe find this information? I also find it a bit odd that you mention percentage, but didn't state what that percentage is? i think you just made this up in your head .
A quick google search says 40% of Americans are Obese(That's the best part of 150 million people)...18% are severely Obese...most of the people in these photos appear to be of normal body weight...Sorry but it's not rocket science.@@Coolcarting
In a lot of the photos, there was a sea of blue clothing. A lot of people wore blue in the 1920s because it represented prosperity and wealth. You have done a wonderful job on the colorization. I thoroughly enjoyed your work. I subscribed, and you got a thumbs-up from me. Keep up the good work.
The more I watch these kinds of videos the more I realise this is going to happen to me, all of us. Nameless faces on a screen.
not me. - i'm going to be a star
and people are going to love me
and travel far and wide to hear me speak
Nobody was obese.
Oh, I saw several. Photos of them probably not highly publicized. It's an absolute myth that everyone was thin in the past.
Fast food wasn’t as prevalent. People ate real food at home
People are all sizes and shapes back then just like they are now I don’t understand why that’s even an issue
@@user-wh5ir4fo4r A few who were a bit overweight. But nothing like the Blimps that you see everywhere in the US today.
@@user-wh5ir4fo4r No everyone was not thin but the overwhelming majority were. I know because I am old enough to remember. American's started getting heavier in the 1980's.
Love to have a hat shop back then.
I’m enjoying the music most of all !!
They all have natural beauty at that time.
Pretty girls back then!
Yes not like the fake today. Nothing like natural beauty
@@mkkuusisto6222 Like minded , that look at the past for guidance, should all unite and form a new nation based on the best of our past. Keep time and culture at a standstill, if you don't like it you can leave for another land. Protect such a land with a strong nuclear deterrent.
Normal figures back then too. It seems people have forgotten what real women actually looked like. Today's standard requires body modification and cosmetic surgery to be beautiful and desirable.
Wonderful old fotos, masterfully recreated...Thank You !
Thanks SO much for this!😁 They're all so beautiful...you truly brought them to life. Astounding job!😉😚
Hi Vintage Treasures, this vid really bring's the Roaring 20s back to life, great colour and music plus lot's of well chosen content, thank you. Best wishes and Success for 2024 to yourself,loved ones and fellow viewers ❤❤❤.
Classy, elegant, no tattoos or torn clothes, people enjoyed life to the fullest, minds open and eyes not yet locked behind cell phone screens. Sigh
The jazz touch us great
De très belles images, la qualité des couleurs est bluffante, les personnes étaient élégantes, c'est très joli à regarder, merci.
Well Done My Friend! I can watch your videos all day, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Thank you. You have managed to put 'human-ness' and colour back into history. Sweetly done. Your soundtrack choices are a fine companion. This is impressive and just flat out good.
Great job! Captures the era very well.
Loved the photos. Thank you for sharing!
Knowing what I know now, if I could pick a decade to live in it would be the 50s. I remember it when I was a youngster.😅😅
Don't forget about polio, though. People smoked a lot back then, too. And factories sent chemicals and smoke straight into the air, unabated. But by and large, it was a much calmer, happier time, and people were generally quite decent to each other.
Polio was ddt poisoning
Except for minorities.@@Tubes12AX7k
1:27 I love the big sign in the back that says 'cash talks' 😁
Still does!
Everyone was classy looking 🥰🙌
Thank you for sharing these amazing coloured pictures of that golden age!!! Women got rid of the corsets for ever. Art Deco, cinema, dry law, l Iove this period of time!!!!
What stands out most to me is how just about everyone looks relaxed and at ease. Photos of people nowadays usually show people looking worried or depressed.
you did a great job restoring those photos some of the best work I've seen in a long time I look forward to your next video
I was born in 1980 my grandparents were born in 1918 and 1924 , it’s incredible to think these women were likely born in the 1880s and 90s to be young adults in 1920 . My grandparents were mier children in this time it seams like such a long time yet oddly familiar at the same time and in hindsight when someone in the year 2500 looks back at this time he will see someone born in 1880 and 1980 like me as part of the same era . I now get the meaning or “row row row your boat gentle down the stream merely merely life is but a dream.
Just about everyone looks fit and lively! Great job with the photos!
Great photos (along with written newspaper narratives) and equally great music...that's a rare picture of Duke Kahanamoku....thank you!
Wonderful pictures. Many thanks
Your period-matching music makes your site a cut above other vintage sites that don’t have that synchronicity which adds so very much to the overall (great) presentation! Well done !
The music in this video is from the 1950', not the 20'.
True@@dougs78records64
The color is amazing. I wonder how much time and dedication it takes you to make the pics look the way they do. So thank you for sharing. Had to check out the color pics of the 1920s. I love the fashion of both the women and men of those times. From clothes, shoes, hats, and hair styles. I wonder if I can get away with wearing today. Hmmmm .....maybe😊
good job with the coloring of the photos, very impressive.
Спасибо за качественную работу ! Получила огромное удовольствие от просмотра.
Stunning video, shame there are no sub titles for each photo.
Yes pity😒😒
When people were real people.
I’m sorry, what exactly do you mean? I enjoy these photographs so much, but you’re implying that me, my parents, even my grandparents aren’t real people? That’s absurd. Times change. For better or worse. But we are as real as the people depicted in these photographs. Try and appreciate all of it. Don’t you consider you and yours real people?
@@eleanorestes2473 No, I'm just a bot.
@@bukeksiansu2112haha! Fair enough.
@@eleanorestes2473 Keep save and healthy for you and fam. God bless you all.
The people in the video may have been "real", but the two A. I. generated click bait girls used for this were totally fake.
Fantastic job. I really enjoyed this. When I watched it I actually played 1920s music in the background. Added just a nice finishing touch.
Great job colorizing… thanks so much❤
I loved that they showed Duke Kahanamoku "The Big Kahuna", Godfather of american surfing on here!
I really enjoyed this! You did a wonderful job with the colorized vintage footage and pairing it perfectly with music from that era! ❤
The music was more like 50’s background jazz at the earliest.
Very well done Sir! Thanks for your work! Amazing....
It's fascinating looking back on historical images - enhanced through colour. Well done - keep it up
Strange to say, but my experience viewing images from the 1840s to the 1960s gave me the impression that human beings lived in a "black and white" world. There is peculiar kind of "gravity" that this bestows on that era. And yet, they are precisely the same people we are with respect to DNA. Give us more black and white, it's beautiful, too.
GREAT JOB!! Thank you! I LOVE the 20ties
Some great images there.
Nice photos and at the same time it saddens me that at festivals or other celebrations I don’t see people of color participating. The 1920s was my grandma’s time. She faced a lot of struggles coming to the mainland from Hawaii. RIP Grandma.
I subscribed but captions would add to our enjoyment!
There’s a link at the beginning of the Comment section to a version with descriptions. 🙂
Fantastic, great work… thank you 🤩
Fantastic, thanks!
I love your background music.
the pictures have a different appeal to them being in color also people looked more peaceful and relaxed and enjoyed what they were doing compared to now time! thanks for sharing these.
Great Work! These are so amazing, nothing to complain about in the recoloring.
Awesome!!! Thank you🙏
Just love this stuff
Great Band, the piano player sounds suspiciously ahead of his time. Those George Shearing block chords we’re not being used during the 1920s, it sounds absolutely cool but it is a touch out of place here! Still I love it and the song is absolutely off the charts!
Everyone looks so good! Love the clothes.
This background selection of music certainly is not 1920s jazz… it’s more towards modern jazz, which started in the mid-late ‘40s with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie etc and consolidated as such in the ‘50s onwards with ‘new influencers’ such as Miles Davis. The background music playing in this video is recently composed and recorded in the style of 1950s modern jazz.
Great photos, thanks
I like It, but you should insert date, site etc
This is a great story! Thanks.
Slim, very slim and elegant. Not like today’s.
Yea and WOW the clothes! Sophisticated but stylish. No trashy looking t shirts.
Came for the pix, remained for tunes. Nice list.
So damn awesome.Transportmant in time.Jerome❤❤❤
The breathtakingly beautiful photographs 📸🌟
great work!
A great 'Time Travel'♥️
So I guess this proves humans could see in color back in the day. Colorizing must be an interesting process. I have an old photo enlarger that doesn’t work but it introduced me to the idea of additive or subtractive colorization of negatives. I’m sure your process is more sophisticated.
❤ wonderful pictures I'm enjoying 😁😊😁
excellent. I like old pics and vids of people just living their lives which makes sense because I like history of common lifestyles much more than monarchs and generals etc.
Beautiful job 👏
What great pictures!
I haven't come across any mistakes my friend. Your work is simply superb. Must be so proud of yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you, means a lot ❤️
I must say, this video is awesome!
People were a lot healthier before food companies were allowed to add harmful, dangerous and toxic chemicals to our food. American food is banned in 28 countries for that reason. 😳 Now, why are these chemicals even allowed in American food????? How is it possibly legal????
VT, you are far too modest. Coloring black and white to look realistic takes a good eye, no matter how good the tools. Among the best technical achievement here is Babe Ruth's metallic crown @11:52.
Glad I subscribed.
Интересно , что практически нет толстых. Люди красиво одеты и подтянуты. Отличное время 20-60 годы для жизни в Америке.
Совсем не отличное, если говорить о 20-30-х годах в США, "Великая депрессия", разгул бандитизма. Нормально там стало только после Второй мировой войны.
All those folks are in spirit world ..wish them all good luck. 😮
Love your content. Can you do old photos of Puerto Rico?
