Thanks for a fascinating montage of 1890's-vintage film. It's a rare and exciting view of ordinary people in New York during the horse-and-buggy era living their everyday lives. It is riveting, giving us a brief glimpse through the mist of time to a period in our history that we have only read about. It also reminds us of our own mortality and that the fact that in 100 years, we'll all be gone from this earth too, just like everyone in the film. Caruso (born in 1873) fits right in.
Well, you did a wonderful job! I just forwarded this to my daughter, a new film graduate. Just love it! That scene over the grate with skirt flying upward is interesting - probably influenced the Monroe scene.
These insights into history really fascinate me. I just love these glimpses into the past, and to listen to Caruso singing is an added bonus. Thank you for sharing. P.S. Like the name. Are you of Scottish extraction?.
Excellent work, what collection in the Lib. of Congress did you use? To think that cop probably was on the force during roosevelt's term as Police Comissioner, amazing. Please do more videos like this.
Thank U for this. Its so interesting to see...especially the last party..you can really see men's attitudes towards women back then. The man just kind of grabs her away ...forcing her

This is amazing and wonderful footage and choice of music! Thank you so much for your effort. It is wonderful.
Caruso, ..gives me goosebumps ..BIG W l'Italia che non dimenticava i propri eroi.
Amazing video, Caruso's music is as wonderful as the city. Great comments.
Beautiful music and a great video. Thank you for posting!!
It's amazing to see how New York was developed at that time!!!! Capital of the world!

A great recording of Caruso singing "La donna e mobile".
Loved it. I wonder what they knew about history that we now do not.
nice, its quite hard to belive that this is only like 100 years ago, and look were we are now :o
Yeah,amazing, great footage

thanks for posting it :)
it brought back memories of my toothless fat old zombie-looking grandma
New York in the late 1890s and 1906 were the best time to live in the Big Apple!
the timing at the end was hilarious
SO GOOD.

Loved that comment.
I don't remember. I write that a lot of times. But it wasn't here. Maybe the one of the second page «and you are so damned rude!»
