My friend, vocal coach and rehearsal pianist, whom I used to hang out with the 1950s, was born in 1892 and played piano professionally in New York at age 15. She could be in this video, though it is impossible for me to think of her as ever having dressed like that. Her father had one of the first automobiles in Poughkeepsie. I'm 84 now and only my earliest youth seems long ago; the 1950s still seem like yesterday.
Wow amazing story and glad you've had a long life! I was literally telling my nine year old son how quickly life seems to pass by, but you don't notice it at the moment, only in hindsight! I'm 27 soon 28 and I can't believe how fast things have gone and are just memories.
There’s an argument that once cities no longer cared about infrastructure investment that that’s when our dressing up for everything went downhill. For example, after most of Penn Station was demolished it was no longer a grand event to goto penn station, etc etc etc. this happened all over the country. Now people goto airports with pajamas.. I’m not saying anything is wrong with any of this just a thought on the topic
@@FlyingKipperEh I see fancy hotels and restaurants crawling with "idiots". Plenty of older generation men dress well. Not super formerly, but pretty close to what we see in this video.
I wonder how many of these souls were lost during WW1 and WW2. This was before all that. Before the sinking of the Titanic. Before the Spanish Flu. They seem just so, ordinary. It’s melancholic and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this bit of history with the world!
Absolutely amazing. I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't looking at a film set. These were real people from over a hundred years ago. It's almost like having a time machine.
I couldn't shake the thought that these people are long gone, and that puts things in perspective. We are only here for a very brief period. Still beautiful to see everyone going about their lives in 1911, more than 100 yrs ago.
This was my grandmother’s time period. She was born in 1891. During her era, people dressed up to go shopping, go out to dinner, to travel, go to church or any public place. She wore a dress, corset, gloves, hat, jewelry and her “pocket book”(purse), hose just to try on a dress at the department store! Her Sunday finest! It was considered improper etiquette not to. She had her Spring/Summer clothes and her Fall/Winter clothes. She never wore her white Summer accessories after Labor Day and never before Easter. Her Winter accessories were always navy blue and were never worn in Spring or Summer! She starched and ironed everything! Even the sheets! She would scrub the porch and sidewalk on her knees with a “pale” and hand brush! She only wore dresses or “house coats” and never wore trousers! They were considered masculine. The era depicted in this video was the “norm” for proper attire in public. It amazes me how calmly everyone strolls about and no one is in a rush. It wasn’t considered good manners to be rushing about or to be loud in public. Keep in mind, this era was before we learned how to wage world wars. Most people didn’t yet own cars. The stock market hadn’t crashed yet. Women didn’t have jobs outside of the home or the right to vote. It’s a bygone era that my grandmother grew up in. It was the Victorian era. Thank you for this film. I understand my Grandma better now.
@@alasevedo7095 You’re welcome. What still blows my mind about her is that she was born just 30 years after the start of the Civil War! Then, in 1969, when we landed on the moon, a news station here in California interviewed a woman who was 113 years old and came west in a covered wagon in the late 1850’s to escape the coming Civil War! The reporter wanted her impression of the moon landing. She was so excited! She couldn’t believe she got to live long enough to see that! Can you imagine living in her time period and all that she experienced?
@@Ashamoons I’m 69 this month. That means I was born during the Korean War. Eisenhower was President. Before the space age, pantyhose, before everyone had a TV, color TV, TVs shut off after the 11:00 pm news, Velcro, synthetic fabric, digital anything, nylon zippers, transistor radios, push button phones, before the sound barrier was broken, Pan Am & TWA were the big airline companies, Vietnam was an unknown country, Tanzania was called Tanganyika, Sri Lanka was Ceylon, Taiwan was Formosa, computers occupied rooms not laps, I demonstrated the first microwave ovens, the first PONG Table tennis game, the first air hockey games at trade shows, the internet wasn’t in existence, I was 17 years old when we landed on the moon, and my grandmother died just 2 years before that event. She was 75 years old when she died.
Oh but it’s not at all! The fun things you can learn if you dig even an inch below the surface. Even the people being well dressed ain’t a true reality if we could introduce smell. Also we literally would have shirtwaist factory fire that year. Like safety violation, environmental dumping, trash issues, and it’s not easy to see and more something you have to read.
@Lexxi Renee why tf do you have to be political under everything??? I swear someome couod be talking about how nice the weather is and you'd probably make that political
Unbelievable how built up it already was. I love that all the buildings aren’t just glass rectangles, they all have substance and their own thing going for them. Really tripped me out seeing the horse carriages still being common practice
There is a downside to that style of building tho, you’d probably rather be working all day in the building with the nice windows letting in all that natural light.
@@LucklessGun I've worked in such building a 19thC City Hall.Even w/ air conditioning the sun would get you really hot/sweating never mind sunburn w/the health risks if that.Such seating would be worse in those days with no air conditioning and awareness of skin cancer.
What’s most striking is how modern things were. Electric trams, automobiles and skyscrapers in relative abundance. 40 years earlier, none of these existed, and no one could film anything either. Fascinating period of history.
@@katiedunmore2184 WATCH: This video clearly says German Laws are different than American- RUclips Title called " From the 60 Minutes archives: Survivors of Josef Mengele's twin experiments " . What about the story of - Hitler, they claim, escaped punishment and lived out his life in tranquility in Patagonia until his death in 1962 at the age of 73. Google It. I think Hitler and Eva both lived common ordinary Life in Argentina Chile. Because this video [ “Eva Braun: Hitler's Mistress & Later Wife | Full Documentary | Biography “ ] also says that why would they burn their Boss with Gas? Plus back then News Paper showed duplicate of Hitler who just had Mustache just like him, his body was very skinny and that dead body face was very thin laying on bombed bricks. It looked more like they purposely put that body. Germany was known for very good conspiracy back in WAR TIME. I think they have taken off those online documents. It was a period of conspiracy and I believe that Hitler did run away because lots of countries politicians were involved in WW-2 that is why he got support to escape. Even America knew that he was alive somewhere in Argentina. They never exposed him because of their own fear. They kept it in archive those data in a Confidential Documents. The photo which they published of his dead body looked like double/duplicate of him. In past many places he was using his double or duplicate person to miss guide his enemies attempt to kill him. PLUS they never showed any one’s body his girlfriend or anyone who was with him. They have Never shown any proof about his death. Hitler arrived in Argentina two and a half weeks after the fall of Berlin. Two submarines were reportedly on the coast of Argentina before their occupants were brought to the foot of the Andes. Researchers have often claimed that Hitler survived because of the strange circumstances surrounding his death. Just two years ago, a huge Nazi treasure room was discovered in Buenos Aires, including a bust of Hitler. Researchers say the discovery "could be indisputable evidence" of the presence of "important leaders" hiding in Argentina after World War II . The FBI documents provide a fascinating insight into the very real fear that Hitler managed to survive World War II. Russian authorities have also claimed that Hitler was still alive - Joseph Stalin gently confirmed that Hitler did not really die. " . Some have claimed that Nazi leaders fled to South America with a treasure. "What we are doing is re-examining history, history that we thought was settled that Hitler died in the bunker but the deeper we get into it, it's clear to me we don't have any facts for it."
@@katiedunmore2184 Yup TRUE - Even this video have not debugged anything. At the end you said the teeth’s are authentic. But you did not say that it was Hitler teeth. Are you fooling people? Teeth can be any ones, it could be his duplicate. The first old age picture of Hitler has very much similarity with Hitler. But the other very Old age person photo with curly skin does not look at all like Hitler. Plus photo of Hitler keeping head down on Table and two ladies on Sofa acting dead that photo is staged any one can act like that pretending to be dead before the escape.
Yeah, looking at this video I was thinking that my great grandma wasn't even born yet. She wasn't born til 1915. The titanic hadn't even sunk yet. Talk about an awesome time travel. Some of these videos just shock me cause I didn't realize how many videos were taken back in those days. It's great to get this footage and see REAL people that were walking the streets in those exact days.
My maternal grandmother was also 18 years old, born in 1893, and my paternal grandmother was born the year this was filmed, 1911. So strange and lovely at the same time to be transported back in time.
@Post Toasty 103! I'm glad you had her so long! How wonderful all the girls went to college! My grandmother and her parents came from Austria-Hungary, actually Lviv, Ukraine. She gave me a book by Jacob Riis, Children of the Tenements, full of those awful photos. I asked my mother why Grandma gave me such a sad book and she said Grandma wanted me to know how children lived when she was a little girl.
@@ImCarolB Reading this at 2:30 am in Denmark and never heard of Jacob Riis before. Thank you. History is incredible. Hope everyone is doing ok in this time.
Cleaner streets and air. Quieter, with fewer crowds and vehicles. 1911 did have its advantages. As a time traveler, I would love to visit that time period.
Also no antibiotics, life expectancy of 60, child mortality rate of 30% average and 60% in poorer areas, extreme racism, lynchings, segregation, scarce electricity, cars only affordable for the ultra rich and made to make a few miles only, poor heating, poor cooling, no TV, no internet, not even vinyl records; only radio and papers. For the women kitchen and church (except in the countryside), married at 15 to 35-year-old heavy drinking guys, scarce healthcare provided. And the most horrible human confrontation looming on the horizon. Just saying.
My great great grandmother was born in 1911 February and she is 112 now, outlived 4 monarchs, World War I and World War II,she outlived her 2 daughters, both died of old age in 2019 at 90 and the other at 89(her third daughter, my great grandmother is still living at 88)lived to see 10 Popes in her lifetime, lived to see 20 US presidents, born when Taft was in office, she had 4 siblings and they all passed away, her last sibling passed away in 2012 at 96 and her husband(my great great grandpa) died in 2001 at 93. She has been through so much. My family is known for longevity, maybe there is something in our gene :) . I was born in 1996 and in my lifetime i saw and talked to 8 members of my family who were over 100 years old. My 4th great grandmother was born in 1851 and died in 1956.

It is in the genes. I know people that parents grand parents all lived well over 100. What a lifetime of information. I wish I had a family member that age. The questions I would haveI hope you surpass your grandmother. Just imagine you'll get to see when we populate Mars. Here's to longevity🥂😊
I'm watching this video out of respect for my Mother. She was born in November 1911. I try to recall the stories that were passed down to me concerning the events that have taken place since then. She lived to be 84, and passed from congestive heart failure. Her doctor was older than her, and told my family that she probably had that condition since birth. I thank you for posting this for it is helpful in ways that you may not be aware of. At 72 years of age, my mind is gradually slipping, and events that I know as fact, have become foggy, so videos such as this are greatly appreciated and very helpful. Once again, Thank You.
The thing I love about these videos isn't the colorization. It's that they've been speed-corrected. When I was younger the people in old films always looked like they were speed-walking; it was tough to identify with them. Now you can see that they walked, talked, and gestured the same way we do today. Obviously that's the case... it just doesn't feel quite so distant. One day people will be looking back in amazement as us too.
You nailed it. The speed correction is what makes it feel so familiar and yet alien because the world today looks quite different. Most noticeably the way people dressed.
@@th5841, Colorisation is dishonest. No-one knows what the colors were. Black and white - in which the films were shot - has more atmosphere and it's authentic . . .
@@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301 I don't find it dishonest. This isn't journalism. Artistic freedom is perfectly fine. And you don't even insult any of the participants. It was quite common in those days to colorize pictures.
this is a beautiful gaze into the past. it feels weird knowing that no one in the entire video is alive today and it makes me appreciate everyone today because we are blessed to inhabit the earth during the same lifetime. life is short, in time we will just be memories.
@@professional.commentator LOL. Basically, Mark Cubans or my closet. That would be mostly white tshirts and denim jeans (with or without holes), no stupid blazer and shoes you can easily use from one reason to another. I wouldnt read to much into it. It was basically Americas fob era that got far to out of hand and lasted for far to long and in certain spots of large cities, does still today but also remember that there was a real lack of availability of styles of clothing that could be fuctional in all daily life and as you can see in the video, each style is basically age and function specific. As all futures judge, we may be seen as nude or prude but regardless, we can only use the tools at hand that best ~suits our needs.
Many men cheated on their wives with prostitutes and STDs were very common. A good friend of mine worked as an RN in a hospital ER in inner city Chicago in the last 70s, 80s and she said they commonly ran STD tests on very elderly female patients because it was often found that unbeknownst to them, they had been carrying syphillis for many years due to the cheating of their husbands decades earlier.
Feels like a virtual time machine. It’s as close as it gets to actually being there. No matter how well your imagination can fill the void or how well Hollywood sets can recreate 1911; nothing short of a real time machine or actually living through this era in time it is going to match or surpass the energy, visuals and vibes you will feel in this well executed and digitally enhanced video.
Yes! I do in fact think RUclips and other such places is like a real life time machine! Remember how folks back in the day of Back to the Future must've imagined how cool a real life time machine might be? Well we do now! And hopefully in due time we can colorize films like these without that weird purple effect and maybe be able to be in whatever historical period you want in 3D or in some sort of holodeck kind of deal...though the last part I reckon is well beyond our lifetimes.
@@1987HTR The prevalence of horses in this era combined with the lack of modern cleansing and sanitization techniques actually made it quite disgusting
This is absolutely flipping amazing! I've seen this film before but never this good. Whoever is responsible for the restoration thank you so much its truly unbelievable. This is as close as I will ever get to a time machine.
It's incredible to be able to see such an era, I just wish the invention came out even earlier so we could atleast see 1600s & 1700s. Recording history is probably the greatest idea humans have had, well besides everything else.
In the roman empire, Egipt, Greeks, In the paleolithic when Britain and Europe was one because the canal was ice bridge.... that's should be very interested 😁👍
in 100 years, people will have the opportunity to look 500-600 years into the past (your desire to look into the 17th century). The end of the 18th century - the beginning of the 19th century is already on RUclips!
@@Lucas-hb7qv is it considered explicitly a sin? I thought it was just frowned upon as youre not suppose to anticipate the end. I cannot remember, sorry. I suppose technically if youre not supposed to its a sin.

@K. Light You're thinking based off today's thinking. That wasn't "dressed up". That was just the style. Prob all the clothes they had. It's like saying someone dressed in jeans and a polo shirt is dressed up bow days.
Considering all that’s happened, the folks were right about photography capturing the soul. It’s something to be careful about, we have not been careful.
@@cjstats1514 nah suits were definitely formal back then just like they are today. Back then people wanted to look their best today people want to dress comfier is all.
I look at these children in this video and wonder who they became in life. How many of the boys fought in WW1 and if they made it home. Just incredible to take a look back in time like this.
My great gran was born in 1924 she always said she hated her days there was the war everyone was spiteful,racist and bigots and women where treat like a piece of meat
Wearing hats died out after WW2. The trend lingered on through the late 50's, but by the 1960's was pretty much gone. Some say that the military requirement to wear hats ( & helmets) in WW2 soured men on them permanently.
Wow a year before the titanic sank. Looking at all the young children and wondering if they ever became someone’s grandfather/mother is fascinating. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of how living a typical day in NY was like back in the early 1900s.
Imagine a machine like in the movie "Déjà Vu" starring Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer, by means of which we could send a paper message into the past. Then we could write down what will happen to Titanic and warn them, thus trying to change history. But probably our warnings would be ignored and we would, in the end, change nothing, because physical laws would otherwise be violated.
Absolutely breathtaking! I love how they dressed back then, how times have changed? It's sad really. So great to see not one person on their phone while they're walking haha... amazing
My grandmother was born in 1911. She didn't pass away until she was 97 so she was a very big part of my life until I was 16. This era seems like it was so far away yet I was so close to someone who was alive during it! Beautiful video!
а вы не думали что это мы деградировали по сравнению с прошлым? это остатки прежней цивилизации посмотрите фото 19 века на всей планете здания в одном стиле колонны кругом красота а сейчас коробки настроили и поселили туда рабов, а вы не думали что нам лгут? якобы последние 100 лет идёт развитие цивилизации, задумайтесь какие нужны технологии чтобы построить небоскрёб и они уже стояли в 1900 годах а многие и раньше а нам рассказывают про лошадей и ручной труд, даже просто трамвай возьмите что на видео его же не в кузнице слепили из того что было))) это промышленное производство, металл, подшипники, провода, рельсы итд. по официальной исТОРии первая промышленная плавка металла произошла в 1886 году а есть видео и фото мостов по всему миру из металла, кораблей, железнодорожных путей тех же небоскрёбов ведь у них каркас из металла и не простого, думайте анализируете, удачи!
My grandfather and his brothers were teens in the city back then. They loved it - my great uncle boasted he never left NYC bc it had everything anyone could need or want. Wonderful to see what it was like. Nicer than it is now, I’d say. The skyscrapers block out too much sunlight.
100 years from now the video restorers will be taking our 2021 RUclips videos and making them holograms in 3d. Viewers then will also be reading these comments. Please leave them a comment below:
@@iconoclast400 Exactly! As a Muslim woman, I was thinking how now 100 years later women "wear to show their body". It amazed me to remember one of the prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he said (I say in my own words not exactly his word): One of the signs of the end times is that you see women wearing clothes while they are n.u.d.e).
It's amazing how people feel so stress free and they don't rush. They take their time to even look around at their surroundings with curiosity. It's like no one is in a hurry. People are walking slowly and with dignity, something that is missing today.
Because these people didn't worry about things like preserving anything, they cared not about anyone but themselves, resources were still abundant. Today we have to deal with the issues caused by this carefreeness... Crap economy (cost / income ratio has only gon up every year never down, now it's at a all time high) National debt Limited resources Social displeasure due to long time practices
@@lennygriffin2761 It's almost as if smartphones are wonderful pieces of technology that increase productivity. You know back then, they said the same thing about people reading books all the time. Nothing changes. Only technology.
@@zeus5276 what do you mean by "back then they said the same thing about books too"? I'm pretty sure no parent would scold their children for having their nose in a book all the time
There’s such a tranquillity about the way people are moving. Today people seem rushed and overstimulated or slow and numb in big cities. I felt peaceful watching this. Edit - perhaps the film has been slowed down a little too much, nevertheless it is still valid to assume that at an age where technologies functioned more slowly, so did the pace of human life meaning there was less stress. In fact, if you go out to remote villages or to developing countries you can still observe this more organic, less machine-dictated pace of life. Secondly, grace and elegance were concepts people still aspired to embody. Young people today don’t compliment each other for their grace. In fact my phone only recognized the word as a name. Thirdly, praising one aspect of the past does not mean that I am unaware of any improvements made in the standard of living or society since then. Why assume that level of ignorance?
@@TheStepmonkey we are fucked up now.....they programmed us to buy all the expensive stuff and to work for it and to be stressed to earn always more money and to buy things we dont even need....they changed our nature ...but some of us are still finding the inner piece....
@@victuz Whats crazy is this wasn't long ago from a generational standpoint for me. I am only 32, but my Great Grandfather was 16 years old when this was filmed. He lived to be 105, died back in 2001 and he had some great stories, photos, paintings, coins, original clothes etc from these times. In my opinion the fashion got worse these days than it used to be.
It's strange to consider that my grandfather, who held me as an infant, was 26 years old when this was filmed. We are here so briefly before the tide of history pulls us back.
@@sakuraharuno4667 Right? I was thinking the same but it really demonstrates the age range of people using RUclips, and I guess how young or old people can be when they have kids. Because to go back to 1911 in my family tree id have to go back like 2 great grandparents, im not even exaggerating.

This is amazing. I feel like I just went in a time machine. Titanic is almost built. A year later it sinks. The sound is incredible and so is the view. I love it.
I barely appreciate cameras until I realized how they captured moments from the past for us to see on the present day, it's really the closest thing we can ever have like a time machine just like any other people would say. Truly a great invention of humanity.
And I wonder how long it took for these women to dress, because they’re dressed from head to toes. Not only the big dresses on the outside, but underneath. Most of them have their hair in an updo style. Then a big hat on top of that. Then the corset, the brazier, petticoat, shoes, makeup, brush your teeth, small breakfast, and shower. Sounds like going to work meant getting up 2 to 3 hours early! Sounds very tiresome!!

This is the closest thing to time travel we have. Crazy to think that every single one of these people and animals have all since died. They all lived out their lives and died long ago. But we can watch them walking around New York City in 1911 as if we were there watching them, among them...
@@amazingsupergirl7125 That’s wrong! When you read a book, you have to imagine what you’ve read. You cannot really see how the city used to look like, how the people used to dress until you watch a video like this.
@@MarioVAmaya Not only did you have to worry about being hit by a car, but run over by horses. Long before I was born (around 1919) a 3-year old aunt of mine was killed by horses in Chicago.
Speed correction, colorization, restoration, sound effects...it really does so much to remove that barrier that makes you think this was all that long ago. Historically speaking, it's yesterday.
I lived in a house for a few months while i was fixing it that was built in the 1830s. It tripped me out thinking about how the people in the civil war werent even alive yet when the house is built and other things along those lined.
My great grandmother was a hat designer in Manhattan in these times. It’s the reason why I studied fashion design initially 💜 seeing this finally gives me a glimpse of her life and work 😍 thank you for sharing.
@@tambert3897 I can’t lie, there’s like a longing I have when I watch these colorized videos from the past. I have this odd sensation where my brain tries to do something with this information. I’ll be searching for a recognizable face in a last ditch attempt to learn anything from a long gone era. I just wish I could have a reference to my family’s past that I only get in sporadic comments by random family members 🥰
I could watch this a thousand times and never get tired of it. It's as if I'm actually there!!! This footage and the restoration work done to it is absolutely fantastic. Mesmerizing. Truly a piece of art in itself. Thank you!!!!!!
I'm going to show this to my hub on our 98" TV screen...that will be fun to re-watch on a bigger screen. I'm sure it will feel like we're on the streets with them! I agree...mesmerizing!
Wow! This is simply amazing. I feel as though I am there in 1911. And I actually walk these very streets often. What a delightful slice of life in old New York with pedestrians going about their day-to-day. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes; while I watched this video late at night in bed; it really calmed me down. It also sort of made me sad that our country is so out of line nowadays.
@@Medea135 It was obviously a he. If you advocate for people to be deprived then people can advocate for you to be deprived. Be careful what you wish for.
I don't have the words to accurately express how this made me feel, so I'll just say a heartfelt THANK YOU to whomever did the work on the footage and whomever uploaded the result for everyone to watch.
There were no fat people! REASON: people walked a lot more back in 1911. And processed foods with fat were not widely available in 1911. Nobody walks much today. And the majority of our food has fat in it. (Want to lose weight? Identify the foods you eat that have fat in them and reduce eating those foods. And take walks too.) Just amazing seeing all those people in very decent physical condition. Thank you! .
The thing I noticed the most from this amazing video was the pace of life was so much slower than ours today in 2021. Life is so hectic today in the digital age. I really think people back then were much happier, smarter, and healthier as they walked most everywhere. Very rare to see anyone overweight. Time took it's time and nothing was rushed.
Happier? Maybe some people but not all. Not if you were a minority (especially black) with few rights. Also, the very young children working in factories and mines instead of going to school would probably disagree. Or industrial workers with 65 hour work weeks. As far as smarter, literacy and education rates have gone up drastically for everyone in the US, especially for minorities. And not healthier either. One out of every five babies died that year because childhood vaccines were barely getting off the ground. Cancer was a death sentence and penicillin hadn’t been discovered so people died from simple infections all the time. I get what you’re saying but you wouldn’t have found that slow life you’re describing in 1910 New York. Try a pre-industrial hunter-gatherer society. It’s estimated that they only worked around 15 hours per week.
What's so cool is how everyone is looking back at you. From their perspective they must have read in a newspaper about this new technology that can show you what you see. If you Google video cameras back then, they look wild, and imagine people seeing and hearing about this thing for the first time. So cool. The scariest thing is this is just over 100 years ago. 100 years from now is going to look alien to us.
Thank you for posting these wonderful shots. The colorization is amazing. Keep posting. I'm seeing lots of these on utube. It feels so real watching a past time time in History. The sounds are so well put together. ❤
Up until the 60's people dressed up. I enjoyed watching how the automobiles, horses & wagons, and trolly cars all co-existed. Nothing moved fast but steady. It would be great if we had films dating back thousands of years with sound. Great piece of history thanks to the hard work of those who made this.
Well the cars didnt really coexist, there were barely any street laws. Children were continually run over by the early automobile. Its a far cry from today
Even at this slow but steady pace, its probably still faster getting across town than being in today's gridlock. Today has 10x the amount of traffic though.
Up until the post World War period, most men in America only had 2 pairs of clothes. You had a suit you wore everyday for work,and you had a suit you wore to church on Sunday or for special events such as weddings and funerals.
I keep coming back to this and staring and chills are in back of neck and running through me as it hits me I am staring at the real PAST, real time on a world that has long since gone by. The people that are walking or riding in the early autos or riding in a carriage drawn by a horse are real unique individuals, each with their own history, their own life story, as real then as I am now. This was their world as they saw it and had to live in it.
I've always felt a sweet nostalgia for eras I've never lived in. Watching this video brings tears to my eyes without knowing why. There is something about the atmosphere of older times that bewitches me. How the people move, how they're dressed like, the carriages and the horses, the old cars, the sounds of the city... Thank you for this time-travelling experience you gave us with this video!
Talvez tenha já vivido isso tudo .... muitos anos atrás, olhando um quadro, vi uma moça subindo em uma carruagem... tive a plena sensação de que já havia vivido aquilo...
This is so cool. At this point in time, my Dad was 8 years old and living in New York. What a great way to see what it was like for him growing up then. Thanks !
There were a number of ways people lost limbs back then. Industrial accidents. Farming equipment mishaps. Poor medical treatment options. The safety regulations then were non-existent. If you seriously fractured a limb, amputation was sometimes the only solution rather than dealing with infection and gangrene.
There is a TV series called 'The Knick' set in 1911 in this same area. The footage is even more amazing when you watch the series and learn about the conditions people lived under. Also there is a youtube video where someone looked up the reg of the car and painstakingly found out who the family, driver was and how they did which was mind-blowing.
No smartphones. hehe But yeah, most of all people then had to MOVE AROUND. In general. A whole more basic/natural way of life. Now, 100 years later, we have a pandemic of Netflix-binging, and another huge one: social media/smartphone addiction. Which leaves me to think undoubtedly - 100 years from today we’ll have a whole new set of issues. Hopefully the insufferable SJWs will ease up by then. And realize - life isn’t perfect and never will be…but it is more than worth it. Don’t stress every little worldly perceived injustice till you die of wither of stress. If it isn’t imaginably important on your death bed, it isn’t important today.
It feels so much more authentic. So much more Relatable, as there is colour we wouldn’t normally see and the film speed makes it so much smoother. This is awesome.❤️

I want to thank you for the marvelous videos of the old days that you have posted, especially those from NYC. I am an old woman who is the child of parents who were the youngest of large families. Thus my father for example, was a little boy in your NYC 1911 video. My grandparents wore the clothes seen in your films. You have given me a bit of a picture of what their world must have been like. Once again thank you.
To imagine everyone in this video had consciousness, we’re alive like us and had similar wonders, fears, hopes and dreams, are now no more. Who remembers them ? Their achievements their sorrows and their happiness ? They have all passed, and likely won’t be remembered anymore. Such is life, we are all alive and part of consciousness for a split second. Let’s try and remember that we are all part of the same cosmic fluke, of the right elements just far enough from a star and just the right tilt, with the exact composition of gasses that allowed for the evolution of a being that can look back at itself and the universe. We all acknowledge there is much we do not know, but at least we do know that we have existed, and that existence is a fact. Hope you are all well, and maybe a future creature will be reading this, in 100-200 -300 years ? If so … remember me.. I existed, just like everyone in this video existed 110 years ago. Peace
Job 14:1-3,5,14: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? ... Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; ... If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come." John 3:16-20: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."

My friend, vocal coach and rehearsal pianist, whom I used to hang out with the 1950s, was born in 1892 and played piano professionally in New York at age 15. She could be in this video, though it is impossible for me to think of her as ever having dressed like that. Her father had one of the first automobiles in Poughkeepsie. I'm 84 now and only my earliest youth seems long ago; the 1950s still seem like yesterday.

The fact that so many people were so well dressed back then is just amazing.
that depended on the jobs and environment
@@Jason75913 ok I fixed it
There’s an argument that once cities no longer cared about infrastructure investment that that’s when our dressing up for everything went downhill. For example, after most of Penn Station was demolished it was no longer a grand event to goto penn station, etc etc etc. this happened all over the country. Now people goto airports with pajamas.. I’m not saying anything is wrong with any of this just a thought on the topic
@@MrShaunG It's actually pretty sad. Now if you want to dress up all classy, people look at you like you are some sort of idiot
@@FlyingKipperEh I see fancy hotels and restaurants crawling with "idiots". Plenty of older generation men dress well. Not super formerly, but pretty close to what we see in this video.
I wonder how many of these souls were lost during WW1 and WW2. This was before all that. Before the sinking of the Titanic. Before the Spanish Flu. They seem just so, ordinary. It’s melancholic and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this bit of history with the world!
COVID killed more Americans than did WW1 and WW2 combined.
Beautiful Titanic. Titanic broken in the depths. Eternal Titanic. sad titanic😑🤗🌹❤

@@brfisher1123 lol bro they all dead
This was my grandmother’s time period. She was born in 1891. During her era, people dressed up to go shopping, go out to dinner, to travel, go to church or any public place. She wore a dress, corset, gloves, hat, jewelry and her “pocket book”(purse), hose just to try on a dress at the department store! Her Sunday finest! It was considered improper etiquette not to. She had her Spring/Summer clothes and her Fall/Winter clothes. She never wore her white Summer accessories after Labor Day and never before Easter. Her Winter accessories were always navy blue and were never worn in Spring or Summer! She starched and ironed everything! Even the sheets! She would scrub the porch and sidewalk on her knees with a “pale” and hand brush! She only wore dresses or “house coats” and never wore trousers! They were considered masculine. The era depicted in this video was the “norm” for proper attire in public. It amazes me how calmly everyone strolls about and no one is in a rush. It wasn’t considered good manners to be rushing about or to be loud in public. Keep in mind, this era was before we learned how to wage world wars. Most people didn’t yet own cars. The stock market hadn’t crashed yet. Women didn’t have jobs outside of the home or the right to vote. It’s a bygone era that my grandmother grew up in. It was the Victorian era. Thank you for this film. I understand my Grandma better now.

@@alasevedo7095 You’re welcome. What still blows my mind about her is that she was born just 30 years after the start of the Civil War!
Then, in 1969, when we landed on the moon, a news station here in California interviewed a woman who was 113 years old and came west in a covered wagon in the late 1850’s to escape the coming Civil War! The reporter wanted her impression of the moon landing. She was so excited! She couldn’t believe she got to live long enough to see that!

Look at the way they walked...incredible. they exuded confidence and class like no other.
They strutted with the extravagant boast of a fellow.
I noticed within seconds how tall and straight the men stood as they walked.
People had manners back then,not this social media bs society we live in today
It seems so peaceful how open the roads are and how slow the cars go. Even the people who look like they have places to be still aren’t in a rush.
I think due to the camera technology used back then it just looks slower.
Yeah except for all the horse manure and polio.
Even the horses move their heads around more slowly!

1.25x speed seems more accurate
What’s most striking is how modern things were. Electric trams, automobiles and skyscrapers in relative abundance. 40 years earlier, none of these existed, and no one could film anything either. Fascinating period of history.
So well dressed, and mostly men.
And the three major races were distinct as well. Truly a different time.
I heard they even had video cameras, though I didn't see any in this video...
@@katiedunmore2184 WATCH: This video clearly says German Laws are different than American- RUclips Title called " From the 60 Minutes archives: Survivors of Josef Mengele's twin experiments " . What about the story of - Hitler, they claim, escaped punishment and lived out his life in tranquility in Patagonia until his death in 1962 at the age of 73. Google It.
I think Hitler and Eva both lived common ordinary Life in Argentina Chile. Because this video [ “Eva Braun: Hitler's Mistress & Later Wife | Full Documentary | Biography “ ] also says that why would they burn their Boss with Gas? Plus back then News Paper showed duplicate of Hitler who just had Mustache just like him, his body was very skinny and that dead body face was very thin laying on bombed bricks. It looked more like they purposely put that body. Germany was known for very good conspiracy back in WAR TIME. I think they have taken off those online documents.
It was a period of conspiracy and I believe that Hitler did run away because lots of countries politicians were involved in WW-2 that is why he got support to escape. Even America knew that he was alive somewhere in Argentina. They never exposed him because of their own fear. They kept it in archive those data in a Confidential Documents. The photo which they published of his dead body looked like double/duplicate of him. In past many places he was using his double or duplicate person to miss guide his enemies attempt to kill him. PLUS they never showed any one’s body his girlfriend or anyone who was with him. They have Never shown any proof about his death.
Hitler arrived in Argentina two and a half weeks after the fall of Berlin. Two submarines were reportedly on the coast of Argentina before their occupants were brought to the foot of the Andes. Researchers have often claimed that Hitler survived because of the strange circumstances surrounding his death. Just two years ago, a huge Nazi treasure room was discovered in Buenos Aires, including a bust of Hitler. Researchers say the discovery "could be indisputable evidence" of the presence of "important leaders" hiding in Argentina after World War II . The FBI documents provide a fascinating insight into the very real fear that Hitler managed to survive World War II. Russian authorities have also claimed that Hitler was still alive - Joseph Stalin gently confirmed that Hitler did not really die. " . Some have claimed that Nazi leaders fled to South America with a treasure.
"What we are doing is re-examining history, history that we thought was settled that Hitler died in the bunker but the deeper we get into it, it's clear to me we don't have any facts for it."
@@katiedunmore2184 Yup TRUE - Even this video have not debugged anything. At the end you said the teeth’s are authentic. But you did not say that it was Hitler teeth. Are you fooling people? Teeth can be any ones, it could be his duplicate. The first old age picture of Hitler has very much similarity with Hitler. But the other very Old age person photo with curly skin does not look at all like Hitler. Plus photo of Hitler keeping head down on Table and two ladies on Sofa acting dead that photo is staged any one can act like that pretending to be dead before the escape.
My grandmother was 18 when this was filmed. What a treat to see the NYC she knew.

Some of these videos just shock me cause I didn't realize how many videos were taken back in those days. It's great to get this footage and see REAL people that were walking the streets in those exact days.

I asked my mother why Grandma gave me such a sad book and she said Grandma wanted me to know how children lived when she was a little girl.
@@ImCarolB Reading this at 2:30 am in Denmark and never heard of Jacob Riis before. Thank you. History is incredible. Hope everyone is doing ok in this time.
Cleaner streets and air. Quieter, with fewer crowds and vehicles. 1911 did have its advantages. As a time traveler, I would love to visit that time period.
Also no antibiotics, life expectancy of 60, child mortality rate of 30% average and 60% in poorer areas, extreme racism, lynchings, segregation, scarce electricity, cars only affordable for the ultra rich and made to make a few miles only, poor heating, poor cooling, no TV, no internet, not even vinyl records; only radio and papers. For the women kitchen and church (except in the countryside), married at 15 to 35-year-old heavy drinking guys, scarce healthcare provided. And the most horrible human confrontation looming on the horizon. Just saying.
Not all parts were clean at this time.

I'm watching this video out of respect for my Mother. She was born in November 1911. I try to recall the stories that were passed down to me concerning the events that have taken place since then. She lived to be 84, and passed from congestive heart failure. Her doctor was older than her, and told my family that she probably had that condition since birth. I thank you for posting this for it is helpful in ways that you may not be aware of. At 72 years of age, my mind is gradually slipping, and events that I know as fact, have become foggy, so videos such as this are greatly appreciated and very helpful. Once again, Thank You.
The thing I love about these videos isn't the colorization. It's that they've been speed-corrected.
When I was younger the people in old films always looked like they were speed-walking; it was tough to identify with them. Now you can see that they walked, talked, and gestured the same way we do today. Obviously that's the case... it just doesn't feel quite so distant.
One day people will be looking back in amazement as us too.
You nailed it. The speed correction is what makes it feel so familiar and yet alien because the world today looks quite different. Most noticeably the way people dressed.
That is right, but colors are still helping bringing them closer. Just look at WW2 clips that are in colors.

I wouldnt read to much into it. It was basically Americas fob era that got far to out of hand and lasted for far to long and in certain spots of large cities, does still today but also remember that there was a real lack of availability of styles of clothing that could be fuctional in all daily life and as you can see in the video, each style is basically age and function specific.
As all futures judge, we may be seen as nude or prude but regardless, we can only use the tools at hand that best ~suits our needs.
Simply amazing not only well dressed but well mannered and the respect they had I wish I could go back in time just amazing to me
Back when respect was a virtue and pride was a sin.
Many men cheated on their wives with prostitutes and STDs were very common. A good friend of mine worked as an RN in a hospital ER in inner city Chicago in the last 70s, 80s and she said they commonly ran STD tests on very elderly female patients because it was often found that unbeknownst to them, they had been carrying syphillis for many years due to the cheating of their husbands decades earlier.
Feels like a virtual time machine. It’s as close as it gets to actually being there.
No matter how well your imagination can fill the void or how well Hollywood sets can recreate 1911; nothing short of a real time machine or actually living through this era in time it is going to match or surpass the energy, visuals and vibes you will feel in this well executed and digitally enhanced video.
I felt like I was watching ghosts in the first segment.
I'm a little fried rn and this was so deep
and i wonder if these people still live there and what their up to now its so interesting
Yes! I do in fact think RUclips and other such places is like a real life time machine! Remember how folks back in the day of Back to the Future must've imagined how cool a real life time machine might be? Well we do now! And hopefully in due time we can colorize films like these without that weird purple effect and maybe be able to be in whatever historical period you want in 3D or in some sort of holodeck kind of deal...though the last part I reckon is well beyond our lifetimes.

There’s such a tranquillity about the way people are moving. Today people seem rushed and overstimulated or slow and numb in big cities. I felt peaceful watching this.
Edit - perhaps the film has been slowed down a little too much, nevertheless it is still valid to assume that at an age where technologies functioned more slowly, so did the pace of human life meaning there was less stress.
In fact, if you go out to remote villages or to developing countries you can still observe this more organic, less machine-dictated pace of life. Secondly, grace and elegance were concepts people still aspired to embody. Young people today don’t compliment each other for their grace.
In fact my phone only recognized the word as a name.
Thirdly, praising one aspect of the past does not mean that I am unaware of any improvements made in the standard of living or society since then. Why assume that level of ignorance?

The thing I noticed the most from this amazing video was the pace of life was so much slower than ours today in 2021. Life is so hectic today in the digital age. I really think people back then were much happier, smarter, and healthier as they walked most everywhere. Very rare to see anyone overweight. Time took it's time and nothing was rushed.
Exactly, it wasn’t chase a dollar sign til you cripple your social life, and personal life. Til you are overworked tired and bitter.
Happier? Maybe some people but not all. Not if you were a minority (especially black) with few rights. Also, the very young children working in factories and mines instead of going to school would probably disagree. Or industrial workers with 65 hour work weeks.
As far as smarter, literacy and education rates have gone up drastically for everyone in the US, especially for minorities.
And not healthier either. One out of every five babies died that year because childhood vaccines were barely getting off the ground. Cancer was a death sentence and penicillin hadn’t been discovered so people died from simple infections all the time.
I get what you’re saying but you wouldn’t have found that slow life you’re describing in 1910 New York. Try a pre-industrial hunter-gatherer society. It’s estimated that they only worked around 15 hours per week.

Up until the 60's people dressed up. I enjoyed watching how the automobiles, horses & wagons, and trolly cars all co-existed. Nothing moved fast but steady. It would be great if we had films dating back thousands of years with sound. Great piece of history thanks to the hard work of those who made this.
Well the cars didnt really coexist, there were barely any street laws. Children were continually run over by the early automobile. Its a far cry from today
Even at this slow but steady pace, its probably still faster getting across town than being in today's gridlock. Today has 10x the amount of traffic though.

@@howdareyou5800 Imagine the people in 2341 saying that about the people in 2232...like for us 2232 is so far away but for people in 2341 it will be a distant past.
@@pereiraplaza222 i hope so, i hope in 5 hundred years people take a look at us and say oh how middle ages were those guys...
I hope humanity makes it... cause I mean this western civilization as we know it is collapsing
@@howdareyou5800 I think we'll make it at least another 1500 years. After that perhaps we'll autodestruct
this is impressive, the closest thing to time travel

No billboards. Just beautiful architecture and cityscapes.
Less cars, more people.
And sooo clean!
@@christinelink6745 Really? They left out the piles of horse manure. Lol. Course this is a transitory period when cars and other motor vehicles were starting to predominate.
The best part about these is the addition of sound and sound effects since the original had not sound, of course.
The city is so much beautiful now❤❤❤❤❤
@@thijsfranse6956 fewer cars
Wow, this is amazing digital restoration work here! I love seeing just how primitive automobiles were! They were brand brand new ahh😮
Absolutely beautiful and amazing footage. Everyone looks so good.
The driver having a great time! That car would cost the equivalent of $143,000 today!😱

Hii
I want to thank you for the marvelous videos of the old days that you have posted, especially those from NYC. I am an old woman who is the child of parents who were the youngest of large families. Thus my father for example, was
a little boy in your NYC 1911 video. My grandparents wore the clothes seen in your films. You have given me a bit of a picture of what their world must have been like. Once again thank you.
Hello there.... How're you doing today; and how's the weather over there??
Todos chik
To imagine everyone in this video had consciousness, we’re alive like us and had similar wonders, fears, hopes and dreams, are now no more. Who remembers them ? Their achievements their sorrows and their happiness ? They have all passed, and likely won’t be remembered anymore. Such is life, we are all alive and part of consciousness for a split second. Let’s try and remember that we are all part of the same cosmic fluke, of the right elements just far enough from a star and just the right tilt, with the exact composition of gasses that allowed for the evolution of a being that can look back at itself and the universe. We all acknowledge there is much we do not know, but at least we do know that we have existed, and that existence is a fact. Hope you are all well, and maybe a future creature will be reading this, in 100-200 -300 years ? If so … remember me.. I existed, just like everyone in this video existed 110 years ago. Peace
That was really nice man. 👍🏼
Hope they see my reply to😏
Job 14:1-3,5,14: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? ... Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; ... If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come." John 3:16-20: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
Bloody heck. Leave it out. Thanks for reminding us we’re gonna DIE. Can’t you just comment on how peaceful it all looks. 🥸
You remember youre part of a cosmic Fluke.... ill remember who CREATED us.
