My grandmother was born two years before this video was released. All I have are photos of her as a child during this time and a Victorian Silver belt buckle that her mother wore with those skirts in the video. I have hat pins from then and political buttons. I knew my great grandmother too who was born in the 1800s. Hard to believe I knew people from this age. I never appreciated that when I was young. I wish I had asked more questions.
Amen......Anyone under 50 years should ask now about family and how life and events really were. My great Uncle at 95 saw my candy cane and surprised me saying they were all white till the 50s...then they figured out how to make stripes like we see now
Same, my one grandma was born in 1900 & I'm from NY too. I love that this channel has so much film from NY. I see so many places I know & seeing them as new buildings & in color is so cool.
I was thinking the same thing. My grandfather was born in 1895 and would have been 16. He grew up in the Bronx and eventually married a woman from Wisconsin. Over 100 years later and I left NY for Wisconsin.
It's amazing how well-dressed everyone in this is. I mean I guess they could have taken most of the footage in The High Society neighborhoods or businesses? But boy every single gentleman had the look of a very Dapper man
Thin doesn't mean healthy. Daniel 1:15 - And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. What appears beautiful and healthy changes with the times.
If I see your Videos I always have two feelings: Fascination and sadness. I'm fascinated because of the old Videos and sad because I know all people I see are dead since many years 😢
My mom was born in twenties. She saw a run of the mill fat person and said "you know whem i was growing up the only place we ever saw someone like that was in a circus."
They were all dressed formally. Men wear ties, women wearing ankle length dresses. No casual attire back then, when going out from the house. Truly a remarkable era. Thank you for this post.
They had their difficulties too. Ours are different, for instance lack of community and alienation is a big problem nowadays. But they had their problems, hard graft for a lot of the population, poor standard of healthcare / medicine etc.
Fantastic! Im loving how well dressed everyone is ! Especially the big hats on the women and one even carried a parasol. The cars and wagons pulled by horses..no stop lights everyone heading in their own direction. Thoroughly enjoyable video.
Pedestrians, horses, automobiles and trolleys with slippery cobblestone as a road surface. Never even saw 1 "Don't Walk Sign". Everyone must have been very considerate. I love it!!! Ah, My Hometown. Better Days back then.
@jared2754 There was no documentation of what was really going on. No DNA. Kidnappings were rampant. I read a lot of true crime books, and the things that some people got away with could never happen today.
Imagine life with no internet, computers, cell phones, social media. When did America switch steering wheels from the right to left. So very interesting to see people also dressed, fully clothed, so much history here.
@@sir.fuentes7642 Thank you!! Some of these comments make the near past sound like the Dark Ages. Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s didn't have anything except land lines, and we somehow survived 😃😁
My grandfather was a boy there then, and his brothers. Btw: they were thin bc they didn’t have so much to eat. Food was a lot more expensive as a % of income than today, and it all had to be prepared. My grandfather and his brothers would get dropped off at an orphanage in New Jersey occasionally for a few months or so, where they worked in a factory, because their parents couldn’t afford to feed them.
Thank you for sharing. It's funny reading all the "they were so thin and healthy then" and "the good old days" comments. Rose coloured made up nostalgia for a time they didn't experience. I appreciate hearing about your grandfather and his brothers.
Or food in America wasn't injected with hormones like it is now and people were more active then. They didn't sit around watching YT videos, etc. There's more than onw explanation to this. Food in NY today is still expensive.
I am struck by all that concrete? It's so smooth... It's impressive, I've been to NY quite a few times over the last 68 yrs. Most recently a year ago, scaffolding everywhere...
Even my white ancestors were forced here on criminal boats to work off their crimes as indentured servants. They weren't treated anywhere near as bad as African slaves, though.
It’s so strange to think that all these people lived out their lives, spent Christmases together, laughed, ate, watched the world change and then… it moved on past them as if they never were there at all. I’m so glad to watch this video and see them, to watch them become alive again, and share a glimpse into their lives.
Bellissimo documento di un tempo che fu. Ho visto il Flatiron, nel 2010 l'ho visto da vicino e ho camminato in quella New York dove camminavano quelle persone cento anni prima. Strana la vita, il tempo passa, i luoghi restano ma non restano le persone amate che porterai sempre nel ❤.....
That it wasn't Spanish, it was from the US 🇺🇸 the first modern bacteriological war in human history, developed during WW1. Where world powers decided to kill the most young people they can in the biggest and horrendous war possible, to avoid a socialist revolution in Europe.
My grandparents lived in New York. My grandfather was an elevator man in Macy's and my grandmother worked for GTE. My grandmother would invite the policeman to dinner that walked the beat in the neighborhood. My Aunt was a Rocket and Jackie Gleason was her boss. It was a great Era and a good time in life.
You obviously don't live or and haven't even visited recently. If the city is so deplorable why are rents at record highs and vacancies at record lows? Stop listening to Fox "News."
According to history, laborers worked 12 hours a day/6 days a week. Women did not vote, antibiotics were unheard of, no social security, World War I in 3 years, strong social class distinction were a few of the challenges of that era.
Thank you for that perspective. Too many people think the past was so wonderful but unless you were super-wealthy it could be pretty brutal. There's a couple of old cemeteries near where I live. The dates on many of the 19th and early 20th C. gravestones show achingly short lives.
Because these people are all rather well off. None of these people are the factory workers, household servants, or those that lived in the many slums of the time.
“So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; *he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.”* (Rev. 12:9) That's what happened.
Seeing people in 1911 actually walking around, going to work...while watching their expressions, I was wondering about each life. What were they going through right at that moment...were they inwardly really afraid or worried...maybe fighting through past trauma or heartache...just their daily struggle... Somehow, watching the past "in motion" made people more relateable to me than seeing still old photographs. Strangely, they became more alive and like...wow, people in 1911 were really "real"!?! And maybe they were a whole lot like us...each one needing a Saviour (Christ)...their only hope...just like us.
I liked seeing the driver giving the stretched out arm signal in advance of stopping. That isn't the standard stop signal but the gestures probably evolved over the years. Manual directional signals before brake lights and blinking turn lights,

They fought a massive civil war in their recent history and were about to have world war 1 in a few years. They were living on top of land stolen from first nations who they genocided. they had been enslaving black people in the south of their country not long ago. Women couldn't vote. And the children they raised would do world war 2, and learn to make nukes. They are exactly the people that gave us our messed up world we enjoy today. It comes from them
The sagging pants are very nasty looking and low life; indecent dressing exposure, disrespectful. Policemans overlook stopping to arrest them. Back in my day, if the policeman cruising down the street saw anyone dressed like that they would take he/she right away to jail. I grew up in the fifties and sixties, and businesses would not let anyone enter with your hair orange, purple, red, green, and/or your pants sagging. They need to learn how to dress respectfully and learn moral conduct.
Не перестаю смотреть это видео- очень приятно видеть этих людей и одновременно грустно- они уже давно ушли - но они были- жили своей жизнью - и почему-то так хочется туда к ним - к сожалению мы их можем только видеть - спасибо им за то что они были ...
Jim Crow was in full force during this time and so many of these people are engaged in nostalgia like nothing else was going on in these 'good ole days.' meanwhile my great grandmother was born 5 years after this and was basically still in bondage (sharecropping, boarding).
Or to mention even the average New Yorker was a poor immigrant living in a slum or a factory worker getting paid next to nothing for 16 hours a day, six days a week.
It's just absolutely incredible. Look how Dapper everyone was dressed. And especially the ladies also. So elegant. I mean every single person, especially the men they were all in suit and tie looking very Dapper and the women debonair. Whatever happened to this country!?
Keep in mind, this was the upper classes of NYC. Most people only had one “Sunday Best” outfit that they wore to church. These are not the factory workers that were most New Yorkers.
It’s funny how if you look close at EVERY person that crosses path looks straight at the camera in disbelief, most likely because it was prob the first time they had ever saw a camera in their lives. 🤯
People can say will they will, but I'd happily trade "progress" for being able to go places without a passport and get a job just because you were ready to work.
I have 2 say that it truly hurts me that these beautiful people are gone for existence..and one day I & u will be 2!!!! Live every moment as if it's ur last day on EARTH 🌎....I love u all that is walking on this planet 🌎💖
It's crazy how stylish they were. Now when I visit the usa everyone just wears t-shirts, sweatpants and baseball hats. That's why it's so easy to spot an American now a days.

Ever wonder how many degrees away you are from knowing someone in these videos?
No traffic laws. Everybody going every which way.😂
Remarkable, respectful, dignified and classy.
Although the guy had lost his leg, he had a very chiseld handsome face!
What's his face got to do with his leg?
@@lucymcdee9109😂😂 I had the same thought. I just woke up and your comment literally made me laugh out loud. I’m wide awake now 😂
Beautiful, very enjoyable to watch 🤗thank you.
Hello 👋
No homeless on the streets. No gangs or drugs rampant. Dressed formally. Seemed peaceful
There aren't gangs shown in this clip but if you got into the slums they were common. "Gangs of New York" is only part fictional.
@user-eb5cb6ud1p good point 👉
They fought a massive civil war in their recent history and were about to have world war 1 in a few years. They were living on top of land stolen from first nations who they genocided. they had been enslaving black people in the south of their country not long ago. Women couldn't vote. And the children they raised would do world war 2, and learn to make nukes. They are exactly the people that gave us our messed up world we enjoy today. It comes from them
Amazing footage gives us all a glimpse of what it was to be there. Grateful for this film restoration. Great work.😎👍💪👏👏👏
This is awesome!
Excellent restoration the colors are so vibrant and realistic. Great job guys. 👏
No sagging pants crowd
No blue hair or tattooed body graffiti ...
Indeed. Nicer city then.
The sagging pants are very nasty looking and low life; indecent dressing exposure, disrespectful. Policemans overlook stopping to arrest them.
Back in my day, if the policeman cruising down the street saw anyone dressed like that they would take he/she right away to jail. I grew up in the fifties and sixties, and businesses would not let anyone enter with your hair orange, purple, red, green, and/or your pants sagging. They need to learn how to dress respectfully and learn moral conduct.
@@JayKarpwickno one asked you out of touch nitwit
Or 500 pound Walmart people!!
Nice works man
Не перестаю смотреть это видео- очень приятно видеть этих людей и одновременно грустно- они уже давно ушли - но они были- жили своей жизнью - и почему-то так хочется туда к ним - к сожалению мы их можем только видеть - спасибо им за то что они были ...
Este canal e espetacular! Nos chama para a realidade fugas da vida! Muito obrigada. 🇧🇷🥰🙌
Jim Crow was in full force during this time and so many of these people are engaged in nostalgia like nothing else was going on in these 'good ole days.' meanwhile my great grandmother was born 5 years after this and was basically still in bondage (sharecropping, boarding).
Exactly, when I see this footage all I see is the suffering of my family by these selfish 👿
Black people had fun back then. Quit listening to modern propaganda.
Or to mention even the average New Yorker was a poor immigrant living in a slum or a factory worker getting paid next to nothing for 16 hours a day, six days a week.
Totally captivating ❤❤❤
It's just absolutely incredible. Look how Dapper everyone was dressed. And especially the ladies also. So elegant. I mean every single person, especially the men they were all in suit and tie looking very Dapper and the women debonair. Whatever happened to this country!?
You can dress like that too everyday if you want.
Keep in mind, this was the upper classes of NYC. Most people only had one “Sunday Best” outfit that they wore to church. These are not the factory workers that were most New Yorkers.
I love this! History. Times of my grandparents era. Thank you for sharing this gem. ❤️❤️❤️
Superb! What a wonderful restoration; absolutely loved it. If only I could go back in time....
Elegance, classy, and intelligence. This video should be posted on every platform mostly used by the new generations.
Of course they are. These were the more well to do people, not the average factory worker or house servant that most people were at that time.
It’s funny how if you look close at EVERY person that crosses path looks straight at the camera in disbelief, most likely because it was prob the first time they had ever saw a camera in their lives. 🤯
People can say will they will, but I'd happily trade "progress" for being able to go places without a passport and get a job just because you were ready to work.
1:56 is the statue off? Wonder if it's still there.
It's a statue of John Ericsson, and yes it's still there today.
@@BricksEvents Wow, thanks for replying 🙏
It’s so beautiful seeing so many humans walking about looking around.
The driver....smiles and the male passenger in the front ignores him. Sad.
He's a servant of the wealthy...
Driver’s got the joy!! 🤩
das waysis
He was actually responding to the child in the back
I wish I could sit down and a conversation with someone from that time. People were so different then.
Hey 👋
You'd think things supposed to get better over time. NYC is a cesspool now and I wouldn't step 1 foot there . Shame.
The footage has been restored to perfection looking into the past 113 years that is the past and everyone has passed on.
I have 2 say that it truly hurts me that these beautiful people are gone for existence..and one day I & u will be 2!!!! Live every moment as if it's ur last day on EARTH 🌎....I love u all that is walking on this planet 🌎💖
Una maravilla de video gracias por mostrar ❤
Men wore suits back then.
Yeah. Now days they're all wearing weird, orange, silly monster suits with caps.
It's crazy how stylish they were. Now when I visit the usa everyone just wears t-shirts, sweatpants and baseball hats. That's why it's so easy to spot an American now a days.
We watched the video too. 👍
@@veenoir1991 What is a monster suit?
@@DaddysFastestSwimmer lol just joking around and referencing the mascot in OPs pfp
Wunderschön.
Vielen Dank!!
