Which City Would You Like to Visit in The 1900s ??
Novosibirsk (Novo-Nikolaevsk)
Any russian city of the early 20th century, preferably in winter
Buenos Aires ♥🇦🇷
Montreal
Any city for which you can find useable footage. You've sure got the knack for it.
Would be fascinating with a split screen street view of the same route today.
Trust me, you don't want to see a split screen of Hastings and the condition it's in today.
You can! 100 years later: ruclips.net/video/tsHMJma13bU/видео.html I assisted the production.
I know this may sound heartless but I would rather step over a pile of honest horse manure on the road then than step over the the piles of human refuse that peoples our streets today.
I followed along on google street view, a few of the buildings are still recognizable such as the building with the striped arches on the left at 1:50 (Government & Broughton) and the cone roof hotel visible on the right at 5:30 (Hastings & Carrall). Of course you can also see the east wing of the parliament building at the end of the Victoria section too.
@@imashmenge7981 I'm going to be honest, you'd be stepping over both back then. And not to mention, I've spent a lot of my life living in cities in Ontario and I've never seen human feces on the street, let alone piles of it. Maybe it's just a Vancouver thing?
2:45 theres something so incredibly surreal about being waved at by a person from 115 years ago. She could never have known she'd be waving at people over a century into the future.
Imagine the post-human lifeforms reading your comment 10,000 years from now
This language might not even exist for them to read. “Old” English is nothing like what we use now, and it existed only hundreds of years ago. Not many people can speak it today.
Languages evolve. There is no way to communicate to humans 10000 years in the future.
@@ersandy4u We have scholars today who speak obsolete languages, as well as possible anyway with only limited written records. But today's languages are recorded in vast quantity in video and text, analog and digital. There are records of things in crystal analog format, that will not degrade for many thousands of years.
So I think it's easy to imagine that in the future a translation service will exist for everything on record, like a museum.
@@zebatov old english is very similar to current english lmao, words were just spelt and pronounced somewhat differently and grammar hardly mattered.
Restoring and enhancing vintage film is about the closest to a time machine you can ever get. Love it!
Who says time travel is not possible? Every time I watch these videos I feel transported back to another era.
yeah... look at me... I came here from 1800s and adding comments
Yeah but just think of the quality of digital source material people will be able to look back on 200 years from now - already almost everyone has a 4k camera in their hands, also filming in full stereoscopic 360 vr... that really WILL feel like time travelling
@@jorisbonson386 So people from future will see all TT/shorts videos, huh?
@@petrolhead999 nothing to stop them
@@jorisbonson386 Well, I don't think people of the future will be looking back at us and thinking: 'those cyclists aren't even trying to dodge all that horse s***.'
My great grandfather spent the summer of 1907 in Vancouver and he built the sewer system in North Van between 1910 and 1912. Amazing to see what the city looked like during his time there.
;)
So your great grandfather was in politics?
Now it's 2022 and I'm rebuilding it.....
So for him the shit wasn't just on top of the road it was undernieth as well. Farmers ditch diggers, pis and shit all over from every animal and no deodorant by any body anywhere. The stench in the warm months must have been palatable.
Come on, do we really have to descend to that level?
1907 feels like m watching ghosts in their own world wow. This more than a century and their city looks so modern, colourful and peaceful. This ancestors are all dead but this clip makes it feel like we were there with them at the time. This was my great-grand father's era, cos he was born in 1896 as at 1907 he was 11. My grandfather wen he was alive told us alot about him. Time travel is beautiful. I wish to see more, I love history ❤️ thanks for sharing.
thanks
@@NASS_0~A stunning, outstanding work and thank you for taking the time and extra effort to convert film to video! I am “very” interested in this and it was a pleasure watching it! All 4 of my grandparents we’re born in the 1800’s and immigrated from Europe. But the same brainwashing farce we still share now with the people back in Canada in 1907 is the Royal Monarchy false god idol worship (idolatry) that makes me feel sick to this day. Naming things after the Royals who have done nothing to deserve it, the only qualification for the Royal job is birth order, nobody is born great, somehow a superior human being is humorously laughable, “making the Royals out to be something that they are not”, with false god idol worship (idolatry), the truth is Royals are ‘celebrities’ and nothing more, as they are “no more” Majesty majestic and “no more” Highness most high than anyone else being totally ridiculous, when honestly in true reality the Royals “are” the exact same people the same as everyone else. But with a wrong perception many people do not want to live in reality but would rather live in a fantasy dreamworld about the Royals that is “absolutely not true”.
but most people in this video were born in way back 1859, 1869, 1879. your father was kid in 1907, he will not be in the public like those in this video....
Those old cities had so much more charisma and charm. So much details and art in every way you look. Old cities look absolutelly beautiful almost fairytale compared to new boring, flat, uninspired empty fields of concrete, glass and composite materials.
yeah theres a lot of charisma and charm in horse shit everywhere
and don't get me started on the f'n suburbs!!!!
@@mavenofmacau6391 i hate suburbs, its depressing, boring, ugly....etc
Montreal is 400 years old and still have those building of the 17 th century and much more trees and parks than Vancouver . I like Vancouver for the Rockies and ocean but all the skyscrapers look all the same .
so true
To think that all these people never knew they were filmed, yet we can see them over a century later and get to experience a moment of their daily business, is incredible.
Actually, they did know... film was a fairly new thing and they seen the rather LARGE camera with someone turning the crank on the side filming them and they waved at it. What they didn't understand is that someone would be watching them over 100 years in the future after they were long gone... kind of sad honestly.
@@Acejustforalaugh No, it isn't. It's old video that has been digitally enhanced. Sheesh
Most of us today, will be on someone elses camera too and someone might see us in 100 years also. That's a strange feeling.
I drove city transit thru these streets for 30 yrs. Nothing remains the same.
Some people obviously knew they were being filmed, but also, obviously, some didn't. They were just going up their stuff and didn't happen to catch the camera in front of the streetcar. Same as now. People are always taking videos in public, and some people see being on video, and others don't.
I quit watching these videos months ago, and here I go again. They are so addictive.
To help Vancouverites get their bearings, the video starting at 2:30 is Granville going north just before Georgia. The building at the extreme left is the first Hotel Vancouver which was a charmless structure. Van Horne complained that the windows were tiny which is evident in this clip as well. The second Hotel Vancouver was a massive improvement which makes it a massive loss that it was torn down. The building at the extreme right at 2:49 actually still exists nestled next to the Bay. It has the bands of stone and brick, and the building at the extreme left at 3:38 is the lower part of the Post Office building that is now part of Sinclair Centre. The tram turns right on to Hastings and actually there are a few buildings still around. Still it is sad to see the attrition of buildings that has degraded the pedestrian experience.
Thanks for the info!😊
thank you so much!!
I wonder if the colouring of the still existing building could be used by some sort of AI program to improve the colour?
to be fair more than 'a few' still exist on Hastings.
Yes and a third generation of folks still camp on the sidewalk how romantic
Hats off to whoever recorded these kind of videos,
They're much appreciated
Whoever recorded? Precisely it's the time traveler itself.
Wow look at how fast the pace of life was back then. I am sure that minus the sort of technology that we have today, it was still fairly busy and active. It's nice to see how civilization moved 116 years ago and how organized it was. Videos like this make you feel like you visited this time. Thanks for the time travel.
Look at the lack of diversity here. We're told lie after lie about this now.
Most things were probly built to last also.
I love history. The old footage is amazing. You look at people who have long been gone, and in your heart you know that you yourself will leave the history of the world, just like all these people on film, whom no one will ever recognize.
All these people lived their lives. Everyone had a job, family, dreams and love. But all this loses its meaning in the depths of time...
Thank you for your work. It makes a strong impression...
Kind of sad to think of, right? But that's life in the end. Just a couple of persons are "eternal" in a way (historical figures)...
Makes you think that life is just one and we are here to enjoy and love to the fullest until we'r gone.
I hope you have a good year.
From Buenos Aires with Love 👍🏻🇦🇷
@@MrRockleyend I wish you a good new year too! I wish you good luck and health. And for a long time not to get into history! ..

This honestly feels like virtual time travel, and I absolutely love it! Thank you so much! 🇨🇦🍁❤️
Thank you so much!
I love the old store fronts, chaos on the streets, but towards the end, going up that newer neighborhood with the beautiful Victorian houses. Would love to see a redo done today.
I really feel it playing in virtual reality the game red dead remdeption 2 in the city of saint denis.
It IS virtual time travel
Печально осознавать что все те люди что на видео их нет в живых.
What a drastic contrast to what we see today .
Frankly speaking the old days look better.
No way we built these complex beautiful cities. So much details on these buildings.
Thank you Jon Levi 🙌🏽
The woman at 2:47 steals the show. Her wave 115 years later made me smile.
Ah, the video is only 9:17 long? Your time goes directly to the end of the video.
@@danielhoward4566 my bad. Thanks for pointing that out. Correction made.
@@tango22ah Awesome. :-)
The young lady who waved at the camera at 2:50 could not imagine that 115 years later we could wave back at her.
2:45
Looking forward to YOUR next posting, Hidden Arizona. Be well.
Interestingly modern and playful reaction by her, considering movie cameras would be fairly new and being filmed on a motion camera extremely rare. Other people that see the camera in this and other old movies mostly gawk at it. Edit: There was a gentleman up the road who did the same.
I think she could. Why wouldn't she? it's like a book.
And also the editor would add a horse sound to accompany her wave
Thank you for the Trolley, 1907, upload. Trolleys were popular in many cities, until the automobile took to common popularity. Here in the states, Boston, MA, had one of the first trolley systems.
A lot of systems were cut back or destroyed during the 1950s because people felt cars were "modern". It didn't help that politicians along with the auto and oil industries opposed mass transit. A number of cities are now trying to rebuild their trolley systems but it'll cost a small fortune to restore just a fraction of what was lost.
I knew the Sinclair building at 3:35 and the Granville station was old but seeing both buildings circa 1907 is just amazing.
8:40 crazy how modern this area looks
they might actually be "modern", considering the newly planted trees and the works on the road in front
@@Exgrmbl yeah, that architecture would obviously last well into the future and looks eerily close to what could be considered a normal neighborhood today.
@@Exgrmbl absolutely! The neighborhood looks to be in construction in this video. The architecture and the staked trees just feel so eerily modern like the comment above says lol
The only thing that looks out of place is the barrels in the construction site! Don’t see that anymore.. I don’t think?
For me it's more a proof that the canadian residential architecture didn't evolve so much. It's more our "actual" construction model which can be considered "old" 🙂
Wish I could slip back in time. Watching all those people walking and J walking is the norm. Keeps one in shape.
Thanks for this video. Brings back a lot of memories of those good old days.
Wow, what a hyper realistic upgrade... Thanks for all the glorious detail you put into each video, NASS!
thank you so much ;)
No noise, no traffic. Beautiful time that was. ❤️ From kohat KPK Pakistan
The first regular transcontinental train from Montreal, Quebec arrived, in July 1886, and service to Vancouver itself began in May 1887. That year Vancouver's population was 1,000; by 1891 it reached 14,000 and by 1901 it was 26,000. The population increased to 120,000 by 1911.
do you think they built tram and electricity poles in 10 years?many need to rethink history told to us
That's the population of my neghborhood!
Thank you so much for bringing these films back to life. it's fascinating to look back to a life we can only imagine.
Thx ;)
I don't think anyone of color would want to be in that time.
@@michellewilliams5947 Plenty of people lived happily in that time, including people of color. They at least enjoyed a civilization mostly free of the horrors of socialism to come.
@@michellewilliams5947 - Suffering was endured by many people regardless of colour. The world was a very unpleasant place for most people but nevertheless, it doesn't make it any less fascinating.

So cool to see the Davie bus. 117 yrs later, it still has its route. Didn't realize it was around in 1907.
I love these old film videos. It's a trip to the past. Simply amazing 👏 👍🤙
So remarkable. This is the Vancouver my great grandparents would have lived in when they emigrated from Japan in the late 1800's. My maternal grandfather was born in Vancouver in 1907 and my maternal grandmother in 1908.
Vancouver of that era was essentially a British colony, in fact if not on paper. Asian immigrants typically didn't enjoy the same lifestyles, privileges, and protections as their European counterparts. Many Asians were forcibly imported and indentured for dangerous, dirty, unpleasant work - they were generally kept uneducated, impoverished, and treated little better than slaves.
Imigrated not emigrated
@@drhoamaru4752 Immigrated not imigrated
@@pwnmeisterage i missed one letter 🤣
@@drhoamaru4752 emigrate refers to moving from your country of origin. So yes, her statement is correct..."emigrated from Japan."
Wow! This is awesome! As a long-time Vancouverite, I can honestly say I recognize some of the streets and buildings that still exist today on Granville and Hastings. Note how the carriages and buggies are proceeding on the left, not right!Thank you so much for sharing!
I recognize some of the streets and buildings, too. Which I find surprising since I lived in Vancouver for decades, then lived elsewhere for a while, and when I returned I found it had changed a lot. Buildings replaced. Streets moved. Some heritage landmarks still remained carefully intact but I could barely recognize half the places and things around me.
I'd love to see a large building under construction, just to see how tons of masonry are transported around.
I love those trams! I wish there were more trams now.
I keep imagining our great-grandchildren looking at our videos and imagining what life was like in our time
they'd probably watch our videos from another planet!
ur profile pic omg😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀
Nass, has done it again. Still another masterpiece. Thanks for this great window into the past! Fascinating footage indeed! My Grandmother (1892-1982) was still alive when I was a kid in the 1970's and she would be 15 years old at this time in 1907 living in New Jersey. She was an Italian young lady, and she remembers the streetcars, horse and buggies, with few motor cars on the road. Cars were Called "Devil wagon" at the time because some people were scared of them. Thanks for the upload. 😊
thank you so much
Fascinante lo que cuentas amigo mío, que buena experiencia haber conocido a tu abuela siendo una mujer que vivió en carne propia la transición de la era de la tracción a sangre al motor a explosión y los miedos que existían hacia lo nuevo del momento, extraordinario tu testimonio, saludos desde Argentina.
devil wagon is right. hollowed out cities and 40,000 American deaths per year. what good have cars done us?
Indeed, ludites are uncomfortable with advances in technology! 🙄😏😉🇨🇦
It’s a strange feeling, seeing something so alien, but knowing it is only your home a century ago. These people and I will never meet, but there’s a bond we share being from the same city. Now, can you imagine living in an ancient city like Rome or Paris, and imagine that hundreds if not thousands of years ago, people also lived there. It humbles you.
Какие высокие столбы стояли и не с одной перекладиной, а с многими. Спасибо, за чудесное видео.
Its like time machine. Seeing the city how it looked like more than a century ago and watching all these people who lived their lives and are no more.
This is really awesome. I just can't believe how formally everyone is dressed.
But issit really formal if thats the common day-to-day outfit doe?
cuz they were downtown shopping, or on a break from their jobs.
Imagine if we were able too see the world in the 1700s or the 1600s, so much beautiful history never to be seen only told about
Too bad that the video came at 1890s, it should have come in 1500s!!
Or time travel back to that era
@@silvrx-pz3ce too bad we can time travel through youtube videos upto 1888 AD, before that we dint know them as they dont move in since 1829 photo and we cant time travel!! So 😥

Dang bro there's stuff older than that looking finer than china that looks like old Berlin
this is just amazing, I'm watching more than 100years old video on my tiny smartphone. kudos to the people who managed to preserve this until today. crazy to think that even at this times, there are places in the world less developed than what's in this old footage.
2:29 Granville just north of Robson (London Drugs would be where the building on the right just slips off camera), 2:42 Granville at Georgia (nowadays the Hudson Bay building and the Skytrain exit would be just on the right), 3:09 Granville at Dunsmuir, 3:25 Granville at Pender (and you can see Sinclair Centre, still there today, just on the left as the camera turns right onto Hastings). And that street clock you see on the right at 3:27 is still there, today!
4:03 Hastings at Seynour, 4:15 Hastings at Richards, 4:29 Hastings at Homer, 4:41 Hastings at Hamilton (the park that would eventually become Victory Square is on the right), 4:49 Hastings at Cambie (the Woodward's Building, still there today, is on the left at 5:10ish), 5:22 Hastings at Abbot (the clearing on the left at 5:46 is Pigeon Park), 6:04 Hastings at Carrall
"And that street clock you see on the right at 3:27 is still there, today!"
I gave the 50th thumbs up lol. Yer' right about the clock. Grew up in Vancouver and now in the US. I was also tracing it, and knew/felt in was Granville most of the tour. At 3:34 I can already see the SINCLAIR Bldg at the left when it turns right to Hastings. I forgot it was already there for a long time.
That would be so cool to know the area and compare!
Thank you for your work. It makes a strong impression.
Amazing footage. I can't help thinking that all those people were blissfully unaware that WW1 was not too far away and some of the younger people would experience WW2. My Grandad was born one year after this was filmed too. Time is a very strange thing and the fact that we can capture it in film is quite amazing.
I feel like our generation is more aware than ever of the possibility of WW3 in our lifetime.
@@tossmonkey1 Yeah maybe. but when I was a kid, it was The Cold War and we were very aware at that time. Then I think we kinda went to sleep and now I think we are waking up again.
Whether one likes Russia or Putin is another issue, but to keep pushing Russia and the fact that Russia is a massive nuclear power, is absolute madness.
That nutjob, Zelensky was actually pushing NATO to nuke Russia. He is insane. You can kiss the world good bye after that. As far as I know, nothing can match Russia's Hypersonic missiles. They travel at 16,000 mph, which means from Russia to London is just a few minutes. It takes longer than that to drink a Coffee. There would be zero warning and even if there was, what could you do?
Yea man those jews.
its like being in 1999 and 911 coming or 2018 and covid coming. everyone goes through things man

I always say the same thing but I'm really a nostalgic kinda guy.
If you get back to 1907, I hope you like the smell of horse crap. ;-)
Do you have our hat ready?
Time-Traveling could prolly be a interesting, & great experiment if we society had these hyper-machines or clocks interconnected to time-traveling nostalgic eras :)
I would say same but I’m black so 🌚
I could watch these videos all day; they're mesmerizing. I'd love to be able to just step right 'through' the screen and take a walk around in those streets for a couple hours. It's really neat to see Canadian cities, as well!
So Cool how they kept these films 😎. So Cool, how someone had the foresight to capture these early moments 👌😲🤩.
Fantastisch tolle Bilder , Aufnahmen . Ein einziger Genuss .
Vancouver would have been officially only 21 years old at the time, and yet as the video shows it's already remarkably well developed. Some of the buildings in the video and even a few of the houses still exist today as heritage buildings.
How did they build all this in 21 years without fossil fuels or electricity. I mean what army of people built all this. I've seen modern homes take 3 years of labor to complete. I'm blown away at the speed to the point it almost doesn't seem to fit.
@@lampshadeetiquette6638 No no.. Vancouver was incorporated (laws, government, taxes, etc.) in 1886 but it was settled in and buildings were built there many,many decades before it being incorporated. And No it does not take 3 years to build a modern home.. it may take that long in Liberal cities where paperwork and lots of money/corruption is needed to get license and shortage of people who wants to work for a living. I live in a Conservative area... Homes built and ready to be lived in in less than 9 months and that's becuase we have to deal with winter.
Totally- I live in Mount Pleasant in a1914 house, and it blows my mind how many houses were built in this and other neighbourhoods so quickly- Stratchona, Victoria drive, west end, etc. it must have been so busy-
My great grandfather owned and built two houses at 18th and Ash. They both are still standing and have been well maintained. My father was born in 1930 and grew up in one of them . He was lucky enough to be able to go inside in his childhood home again when he was in his late 70's. He passed a few yrs ago and this reminds me of all the stories that were passed down. Amazing.
@@duMaurier15 thanks for clarifying the incorporation. I worked on two houses this year that are as big as any of those buildings and they were on year three. Super modern and fancy but not as beautiful or detailed as the old buildings. I'm amazed at the speed given there are no power saws or power tools. Amazing and puzzling when you factor in having to tend to animals and grow food.
I was born in Vancouver in the mid 1950's and still live here. I love these old films / videos. Watching all the development during my lifetime, I can only hope that more of this sort of thing has been captured. We have some family home movies from the 1960's but are pretty much of our neighbourhood so has more limited interest.

This is a beautiful recording! The prose of the lives of people who lived 116 years ago. Probably none of these people even dreamed that they would be immortalized for so long and today they will arouse nostalgia in someone.
Nice job on the sound. It adds a lot of realism.
You just invented time travel mate. This is amazing. Being able to watch video footage more than a 100 years old. I felt like I was there. What a time to be alive. No cell phones, no TV, no recorded music, no radio. People probably read for entertainment and everybody was probably about and around during the day. Definitely couldn't work from home back then.
Bbq ribs 🤤🤤
Those homes were beautiful towards the end. Amazing !
Love these old films from around the world. Would love to see a side by side, then and now, of a camera going down these same streets and roads.
Thank you so much, amazing. My great-grandparents emigrated to Vancouver in the 1900's.They would have walked down these very streets. They returned to Aberdeen, Scotland in 1907 when great-gran was expecting my Gran. She was too homesick. I've visited twice, loved it here.
nice🥰🥰🥰🥰
THERAPY…these videos take me out of my shoes to be someone else and live in another time for a split moment. It’s absolute healing for me. Thank you NASS for another incredible adventure!
thank you so much
Maybe it's because they are REAL, not a fictional TV Episode?
This is fantastic. Thank you for the upload
Astounding; thanks for this work!
Спасибо за вашу работу.
Всегда жду с нетерпением ваши видео.
И смотрю их с большим удовольствием.
Всех благ.✊
thank you so much ;)
О! Вижу своих) Привет! Редкость для данного канала. И присоединяюсь к вашим словам, уважаемый)
Это да, редкость.
Wow! The people on Hastings in this video would have never thought what this street will be like nowadays. Unbelievable! I love it. Thanks!
Бьютифулл!!!!!! Спасибо интернету, прекрасное видео!!!! Люди спокойно перебегают улицу, знают, что на трамвае щиток впереди, типа, под колёса никто не попадёт...
Круто, мне понравилось!!!! Не мешало бы маленький комментарий, а так всё класс!!!
This was incredible!!! I wish I lived in this time and place, Vancouver was awesome!
79 years later. My mom and me 1 years old, would be standing on Broadway and Main. The journey on a weak boat, with people starving and the dead getting tossed into the ocean. Vancouver had just built the sky train and just had expo 86. Showing off to the rest of the world how beautiful Vancouver is.
It's amazing to see how much a city can change in a century.
needs more heroin
In 100 years from now there will be floating buildings in the sky. That's why they're trying to push these flying cars so bad.
What the internet was made for. Love your videos! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wonderful trip through Old Town! ❤
I can't believe life was actually like this at one point. What I wouldn't give just to go back in time and spend a week in this era.
Enjoy the horse droppings on the streets
@@Winterhotsprings ya can’t compare horses to humans only to cars. And cars don’t deficate. And there were human deficate in those early in da streets
enjoy to not have wash-machines and refrigerators, lol. But of course, you want to go there for holidays for 1 week as wealthy man.
No.,.. you'll go there for 3 years as poor men (80% of population), I think after return, you would never want to go back. :)
At 3:31 mark that guy almost was runover by the trolley while talking on his cell phone.
@@jogmas12 How about today with people walking into poles and into traffic while they stare at Twitter?
People that now live in those same beautiful houses towards end, will be blown away seeing them getting built ! Even new sapling trees placed in front. Crazy if that same tree is still there towering by the street. Victorian architecture was incredible.
New trees maybe but nothing was shown being built , which is the case all around the world at that time , Everything thing was already there
Vancouver has poor architecture nowadays .. All the same skyscrapers and very USA. Nothing canadian or more asian.
Piękne! Dziękuje za wstawienie.
It feels like I've stepped into a time machine from 2023 to 1907 ............❤
These are such wonderful time capsules, the tinting and sounds make this step back in time quite cosmic. Please do continue this effort, there's so little of these films existing any more as I am sure you know, but what you've done is truly bring that time back to us over 100 years later, marvelous! Seeing images from my home town this old, what a treat, put on some 20's swing to watch it :) Cheers from the Southern Gulf Islands!
The sound is not actually recorded with the film. Films had no sound in 1907.
@@CoIoneIPanic Oh I know that, I believe its part of the colorization program they use, could be wrong though, it certainly adds another dimension to it eh :)
It's so strange to see videos from that time era! You definitely see how things have changed over time. Like the clothes! Everyone dressed up to the hilt, didn't see one person in old sweats like you do now, of course maybe they didn't have sweats back then LOL. I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!!!
It's very nice to see that time period.
It' surreal to watch these. This is close to a time machine as you get. Hard to image that all of these people are gone. We are mere glimpses in time.
I can't believe how smart the men look and how elegantly-dressed the women are from this era. Love it 🥰
Fabulous restoration. As it captures countless individuals at a specific instant in their long ago lives, I find myself wondering at the fate of everyone caught on film here. What were they doing at this instant? Where are they going? What were they thinking? What happens for each in the next moments that we never see? Each and every traveler here is effectively a library of human experience lost to time. Multiply that by the billions who have ever lived and the scope of the human experience is profound. And, sadly, most of it is lost to us. Great work, NASS!
ty ;)
Many of them left descendents that live here to this day! I met an elderly lady who talked about going to the horse racetracks at what is now the Lansdowne Mall, way back in the days. Her family lived in Vancouver for generations!
Me too, big time. I especially wonder about the children. I was born in 1966 so it's a possibility I could've passed by somebody in one of these films, who was now in their 60s or older, when I was a child myself.
Some of my ancestors settled in Vancouver 2 years before this video, so I pondered while watching how cool it would be if they were in this film (no way to know of course).
My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.
I admire the painstaking work of the people who have treated these historic films with such love... and I ask the filmmakers to also share a fragment of the original material, for those who do not know the enormous restoration work they have done
Like and Share Please
awesome works, thanks for showing us. So amazing footage, the original footage is for sure much worse. Must be a little Dangerous for the horses together with the trains
@@Daweisstebescheid thank you so much
Love this video, trolley bells, dinging bikes, neighing and clomping horses. Thank you for your work remastering with color and sound.
thank you so much;)
Is it actually remastered audio? Or is it just creative Foley work?
Thank you for this NASS. We, the Hallmark Heritage Society, digitized the B&W version a number of years ago and published it for distribution on a CD and now on our RUclips channel. Your re-mastered and colourized version is a welcome addition. Did you ever do the part where the filmmaker, William Harbeck, came down the Gorge in Victoria? This was part of the original film. By the way, Harbeck went down with the Titanic in 1912. I always have a vision of him cranking away on his camera as the ship went down.
Finally, someone has corrected speed! Thank you.
Thanks for all your efforts. I have lived in several places, never in Vancouver, but two of my siblings and my parents lived there starting in the early 80's. I retired after 30 years in the Armed Forces, but to Comox, on the Island. It is nice to see these restored footages (I have to call them by that anachronism because they really are many feet of film!). I also appreciate, viewing the setting, that the City must have smelled a bit different back then.
thank you very much
A bit more of an organic smell with all the hay burners around I'm guessing.
Very cool. Didn't realize Vancouver was such a bustling city way back in 1907.
Awesome,my hometown never looked so good,it's hard to think that those little saplings planted on the side of the street are the massive ones we have today.
Incredible! Living in Vancouver my whole life and the city in this video is completely unrecognizable, aside from a few street names. Thanks for posting.
A few of the buildings are still here
thank you so much;)
@@420greatestqueen which ones? Would really love to know.
I would like to know about the condition of the residential homes at the end of the video. I'd love to see now and then comparisons!
@@my2centstoo I'm pretty sure there are no houses on Robson street anymore. It is right downtown and a major shopping area.
