I know what I'm talking about, for working in digital photo editing for more than twenty years, so I know how it is difficult to enhance B&W pictures with color, in convincing way. congratulation for your work. A delight!

      Disappointing. This video is supposedly “the oldest ever photos of England”. But - with the exception of the one of London - they are mostly from the 1890’s, by which time the technology was already 50 years old. Hardly the “oldest ever” photos.

    Fantastic, thankyou for taking the time of colouring these moments in time of a now all but forgotten time. You can tell even in these staged photographs, the differences between the Social classes, the rich of London and Birmingham with the smaller towns of the poor in Whitby and Preston and Leeds. Unfortunately a difference of living standards that still exists in the 21st Century! 👍 Liked!

    My grandfather was born in 1893. I used to sit with him by the fire and hear stories about his schooldays and what the "scholars" got up to. Scholar was the common word for schoolboy in his time. Later as a young man he used to go visit the forge where someone would have a newspaper and they would read aloud the news of the day to the others. He lived until 1990.

      He was born the same year as my grandmother. Sadly she died in 1982 just a couple of months short of her 90 th birthday. I loved her very much, she taught me lots of things that have made me who I am today. She was the eldest of eight children, six girls and two boys. Unfortunately both the boys died in WW1 the elder aged 21 the other just 19. However I was lucky enough to know all the girls, wonderful Dickensian women, feminists when it really meant something not the airy fairy sort of today’s so called feminists.

      also 🇬🇧=the Union flag/British flag(Upon the waves it'd be the 'Union Jack').This is a combination of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿(England)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿(Scotland;the cross of St.Andrew-30th November)and🇯🇪 (Northern Ireland).
      The other part of us that doesn't want to be part of us is Eire/the Irish republic🇮🇪
      St.Patrick(17th March)is the patron Saint of ALL of Ireland.
      Lastly but not leastly; Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and their patron Saint is David and his day is March 1st.
      *God bless them all!*
      I think this needed to be pointed out as there appears to have been some confusion between the English and British flags.

The Victorian era saw revolutionary breakthroughs in the arts and sciences, which shaped the world as we know it today."

      5.39 is not Spencer Cavendish! It’s the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, attending a fancy dress ball on 2nd July 1897 to honour the Diamond Jubilee of his mother, Queen Victoria. The ball was held at Devonshire House, London by Spencer Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire. Almost the entire British royal family, with the exception of the Queen herself, attended as did members of most of Europe’s royal families and most of Britain’s aristocracy. The extraordinary guest list, decked out in historic costumes and fabulous jewels, were photographed by James Lafayette in a marquee set up the grounds of the house. It was one of the great society events of the late 19th century. Modern balls like the highly commercialised Met Ball just don’t cut it!

    The portrait photos are by no means the oldest ever taken. What were called because of their dimensions, `carte de visite` studio photos first appeared as a commercial entity about 1855. The larger so called `cabinet card` portraits started 10 years later. I would guess that all or nearly all of the ones here are cabinet card pics.
    We have a life size non cabinet card photo portrait of my x2GtGrandfather that was taken before 1898 that is so crystal clear it could have been taken yesterday, which goes to show how much photography had advanced by the time most of the pics shown on the video were taken.

    3:08 -- My gr-grandmother was born in 1887. Although she was born in the United States she claims that her late husband (who was born in 1881 in europe) had once talked to her about a so-called 'bed box' or a 'bed enclosure'. I swear to God all of us younger (19th century family relatives) we would just all, look at her and think she was a bit strange..... not really understanding what she was talking about. We actually thought that she was just imagining things or making things up. We had no idea that what she was trying to describe to us, was actually real. It's delightful to actually see a photograph of what I now believe my gr-grandmother was talking about all those years ago. PS my gr-grandmother lived to be a 104 1/2 !!!

    That was amazing, fantastic work. It was great to see the portraits of the Duke Of Devonshire, as the paintings I've seen of him in Chatsworth House are the artist's representation, which, although probably accurate, don't bring him to life as much as your colourised photos do. As a keen photographer who has looked into the history of photography, I believe most pictures were posed in those days, so the people appear a bit stiff, but the colour really brings them to life!

      Err, the fact they have been colourised means they are AI, he didn't do it by hand but with his PC and they are digitised images not the originals. He did well though.

    I would like to see both, your finished versions of each photo, but also the original. It would give me a feeling for how much was recovered vs imagined. I appreciate the examples near the start of the video, but carrying that throughout the video would be nice, especially if you can find a way to make it feel natural (like bringing optics into focus).

    The 'oldest ever' photographs taken in England date from the 1840s. Most of the photographs here are from 60 years later and are pre-dated by hundreds of older ones. It's a very misleading clickbait title.

    Since I was a young girl, I always looked at my family old photos and am fascinated by them, the eras, fashion, etc. What I noticed in these photos are the "haves" and the "have nots", the working class and the people who have money, very extreme!

    With modern enhancement I think a lot of hairstyles and ladies make up look quite modern. Clothes fashions have obviously changed though. I see nowadays the traditional men's short back and sides haircut is making a comeback as well. Perhaps the clarity of these prints make us notice more detail in them. Thank you for uploading allowing us to see the World as it really was so long ago.

    6:34 I've seen this photo before and in that compilation the caption suggested that by the time this photo was taken the "tradition of subservience" was a bit of a joke. The relaxed and smiling faces of some of the men maybe supports that idea.
