- Time travel back 120 years to Pittsburgh 1904 to a group of women clocking out from Westinghouse Electric factory. The real Gibson Girl now in a 4K 60 fps colorized film w/sound with facial recognition
Filmed at Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Cinematographer G.W Bitzer. American Mutoscope and Biograph Company.
The Gibson Girl
The Gibson Girl was the epitome of the American progressive era fashion in America - the ideal feminine figure. The name was attributed to artist Charles Dana Gibson who's pen-and-ink illustrations from the 1890s helped cement the chic look.
This AI restored footage is a chance to see the Edwardian era fashion of American working women in color and 4K clarity. The trumpet skirts and blouses and pompadour hairs were the staple daily style for women. These ladies also wore stiff corsets. It can't have been easy.
I particularly love the little purses many of the girls carry.

The AI Film Restoration Process:
I take early fragments of silent footage ( in this case at 15fps ) and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled to 4K and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer.
Together, these processes revive old fragments of silent footage, offering audiences a more vivid and engaging glimpse of past lives long since lived.

By the time the last girl clocks out...
It's time to clock back in.
😂😂😂
LOL.
It's striking how they all pinned their hair up in pretty much the same way.
Well look at their outfits too! Unless those are uniforms! 😆 Until the 1990s, fashion trends heavily dominated what people wore. I was in my late 20s/early 30s and everything became more relaxed.
They must’ve all had long hair down to their waist.
@@lemurianchick Clothing/fashion for women changed drastically in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I had to wear dresses to school until 1971 when we were finally allowed to wear pants and then jeans.
I have dressed pretty much the same since the late 1970s to now. Jeans/sweaters or hoodies/t shirts.
That style is called the "Gibson Girl"....My mom would wear it in the 70's...
That's how many brides hair were styled in 80s when I was little but I remember 😂😂😂
I'm always fascinated by displays of historic fashions in museums, but seeing the clothes actually worn, how people moved in them, etc, makes it even more interesting.
Yet, women like you wear slacks today and 'mens clothes', yet when a male dares wear a dress all hell breaks loose.
Double standards.
R.I.P. to all of those that went before us 🙏
I loved this, especially the individual women’s different expressions. They obviously knew they were being filmed, and some had a smile for the camera while others walked resolutely past without looking at it. Some were very serious, while others were laughing with friends. And then there were the shy ladies who kept their gaze down. So many different personalities! I hope that they all had a pleasant evening after their day at work!
I decided to have a final go at this mesmerizing early film of Pittsburgh factory girls. I was never happy with the original enhancement. This is about as good as I will get it. Using new upgraded facial recognition algorithms and a clearer ambient soundtrack. And by request - no music 😃
This is excellent! Please can I Repost on LinkedIn ?
It's amazing! Those ladies are of the same age group as my paternal grandmother (born 1875) and she still pinned her hair up till the day she died (aged 89). The film brought back happy memories of hearing her anecdotes of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful memento of a past age. How rarely we see such elegance now.
I have Victorian clothing and I wish I could go to my job dressed like this. To me, Turn of the Century fashion is the height of style and class.
Looks amazing! Wonderful job!
@@AMEER-114- Ew get your mind out of the gutter
All are soft, elegant, and beautiful ladies! ❤️☺️ Now they are beautifying the heavens! RIP!
What a beautiful comment!
Maybe their clothes and hair were weird, but their faces were pretty.
Tears!
We see you ladies! You are remembered!
They are SO pretty.
Indeed. Quite a few pretty girls then.
I focus on their small pouches, so elegance!
Don’t be rude….🤓🤣😂!!
I’m wondering what they kept in there and actually were those fanny packs before Fanny packs were a thing?
@@cosmic_drifter_007Probably some of the same things we carry. Comb, change, key, handkerchief (before kleenex), etc. Obviously no credit cards, drivers license, makeup, cell, or other things we’re burdened with today.
Imagine the effort it took to fix and manage those swept up or braided hairstyles, and be dressed each day for work in those styles. They truly cared about thier appearance.
Likely they had a dress code and it was required to appear that way. Men made the rules.
This isn't a vision of a "better time" - it's wage slavery at its worst.
I doubt if you would find any of these ladies dressed like trash even on the streets of the city. People dressed more respectful back then.
Back in the 1970s, I had a small role in a production of "Hello Dolly" that ran for over a year. It was eight shows a week and I didn't wear a wig, so I had to do my hair in a perfect Gibson every day but Monday. Anyway, at first it took a lot of time but soon I learned to make it quickly. The more interesting thing to me was about the boned corset I wore: surprisingly, I grew to love it. I already had naturally good posture but that corset seemed to strengthen my back tremendously. Depending on my clothing, I continued to wear it for a long while. When the shows close, the day job was temporary office work- and it was great for all day at the office!
Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! What a great and unique capture of life so long ago.
Time capsale , priceless moments, i enjoy how these ladies worked so hard and still able to stand in single line patiently waiting for next lady to click out...GOD BLESS THEM ALL may they be resting in peace knowing that there made an impact ❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣
😂 I like the lady that busted out laughing ❤ I get her ❤❤❤❤
1:36 ?
Especially when they all must know there’s an extremely rare opportunity being filmed by a movie camera 🎥 back in the day amazing if it is original sound?
@@pinecedar180 they had no audio in films back then.
Beautiful women. Amazing footage.
I never tire of seeing this! Thank you for all of the extra time and effort.
They are clocking out so fast! I According to google people in early 1900s people would slide the card into the machine to get a time coded hole punched in their card. So different from today as we know it.
I am 50 years old now and some of the very first places I worked still had these types of time clocks.
People still punched out this way in the 90s
This looks different. It looks like they are grabbing a tag off of a board. You can see the board become empty. I guess they just took it with them, and put it back up on the board the next day. It would be easy to see who hadn't showed up for work.
I worked in hospitals in late 70'searly 80's and we had punch card time clocks.
The paper clock out was still uaed thru the '80s. Did it in HS- mid '70s at a hospital, Lord & Taylor in '80...
My great grandmother Dusia (Evdokiya) was born in that year, 1904!
Same year when Russia and Japan were beefing with each other in Manchuria.
My grandmother was 17 yrs old at the time and worked at a “dry goods” store. She told me that most work places, including hers, would only employ single women. Once a woman married they could no longer work.
The coin purses attached to their belt. ❤ In the early 70’s the Gibson girl hair-do was popular so I had a stylist do my hair like that for an event. Unfortunately, I got sick and missed the event. Spent 2 days propped up in bed with my Gibson-girl hair feeling sick and sad.
This was absolutely delightful to watch! So feminine and also everyone looks very kind. I like this video❤
Yes, yes, indeed.
Can't sleep... so I am counting the ladies passing by...
This is so amazing and beautiful to watch. It makes my imagination go crazy thinking about what those young ladies are doing after they leave the factory and the lives they lead. Thank you for showing us this incredible moment in time.
No slouching or bad posture😊
Good point
wow!!! so surreal with the facial recognition .. spooky melting hands.. super!
The closest we'll get to tella porting until the after life when the LORD will let us do it. Beautiful and dignified Lady's RIP❤ CANADA
Here's a thought that struck me as I was viewing this video - every single one of those women are no longer on Earth today - not one.
I can assure you that it is not a original thought.
Nor their kids.
Ghosts from the past.
I can't help but think about how rough life really was for them. Just having a period and all that that entailed.
Clocking out Machine faster than modern day machines in 2024!
Not when you take into account the fact that someone has to collect those cards and manually calculate the time worked, and to prepare new cards for each week.
Love the little waist-mounted purses!
So poised! LOVELY!!!
the waist bag is so cute! we need that trend back
They look amazing
Thank you for sharing. Incredible.
Their posture is amazing!
very lovely, they dont make them like that anymore.
like what? submissive women that all dress that same because society tells them so?
Good fashion
Yes, I agree 100%
120 years ago
This is interesting. Thank you, quite fascinating.
Wow, my grandmothers were around 8 or 9 years of age when this film was taken in 1904. They sure hired a lot of employees those days; of course the salaries were quite low I assume especially for women. Nicely dressed ladies - may they all rest in peace.
Someone’s grandmother, Great Grandmother or Second Great grandmother.
Employees would insert their paper time cards into the slot and turn the crank to record their time in and out. The machine would then stamp the card with the time, providing a reliable and indisputable record of work hours. The average worker back then got about 22 cents an hour.
So beautiful. I really enjoy your chanel.
what stood out to me was all the chatter laid over the video, but they dont look like they are moving their mouths at all. seems pretty silent. i feel like people were a bit more tight lipped back then
It's not real audio. When you see "enhanced" videos as old as this one, the audio is added over, guessing what it might have sounded like, there was no actual audio with these videos. Same with the color. It leads to more immersion though and helps you really feel connected to the time in my opinion, so I don't mind that enhancement videos do that.
I think of these women and my ancestors before them whenever I am wearing my comfy stretchy cotton pants and relaxing on the sofa. I enjoy my comforts and freedom even more when I see things like this!
Какие красивые и образцовые
I'd be holding up the line waiting for the next minute to turn.
They all look happy and healthy!
They sound, stand and walk so differently from the way we do today.
The audio is not from the period, it is modern. But yes, their posture is impeccable!
Someone's great great Grandmother.
That is a very nice enhancement!
Those Gibson girls were HOT. Imagine working in those outfits with no air-conditioning. That’s why they invented perfume.👈👀
Graceful
They all look that much alike I could swear that once they walked off-camera they ran around the back and joined the end of the queue again 😅
😂😂😂
How lovely. Thank you for this!❤
Very cool.👍💕
What have we become. And WHY?
Absence of morals because of no fear of God.
So feminine and poised ❤
Fun Fashion Fact: those "blouse pooches" were intentional and stylish at the time, creating a "pidgeon breast" look. It also saved their spines!
20 yrs prior was the last bustle period. To phase out bustles, in the decade after, it became fashionable to wear corsets that caused an extreme back arch/pelvic tilt. This was so the posterior would form a "natural" bustle without the hassle of having to wear one.
Obviously, it wasn't the most natural way to stand, so eventually women began puffing their blouses out in front to give the illusion of having an arched back and tilted pelvis. And this is why all these women have those pooches. And, yes, they are still wearing corsets underneath!
I’d gladly trade the life of WiFi, Bluetooth, Bitcoin, the internet, and every modern convenience to live in that era.
up next: ww1, spanish flu, prohibition, great depression, ww2, korean war, vietnam
They still looked amazing.
My great grand parent's era.
I can imagine the one girl that cackled was probably a fun troublemaker. Getting other
girls to be mischievous with her.
now I know where the word "Pocketbook" came from
Daymn, I initially thought they were making Gibson guitars. 😅
Wowwwww
There were a few stunners there - might be a bit old for me though....
I don't want to fall asleep...😍 can someone count the number of women in this video and tell me the number please? Thanks in advance!
I suppose the fashion was the Gibson Girl look.
And R.I.P. to all those women today that worked so very hard for very cheap labor back then.
Such beautiful ladies - every one of them! But, I must admit that the fashion style of the time blousing out the front of the blouses does look weird to me now.
I love it, better than some of the clothing items we see today.
No fatties, no tattoos and they cared about their appearance.
Parfait
This isn't a clocking out machine that I know, as I don't see them putting their card in the machine, stamping the time code and placing their card back in the rack.
They seem to be popping whatever they’re collecting into their little purses. Possibly a key or something?
It looks like they are taking an ID tag off the board. It appears that a supervisor would come through before and after and mark attendance on a list. hang your ID when you come in, take it down when you leave -But I'm just guessing...
@@johnathandavis3693I agree it looks like they take their own number tag off the board a bit like the coal miners did and put back when leaving. So lovely. Wonder what their lives were like.
Time to go home, make the meatloaf, do the dishes, do the laundry and tommorow ditto....and they love it, just look at them.
They love it? I think you're projecting a bit much onto them. They have no choice - no rights.
@@G5rry Look at how clean and elegant they look. Those women aren't the lazy daisies of today. If you gave them a bottle of Pine sol they'ed kiss you from ear to ear.
Notice- none of these ladies had SHORT hair… and they ALL had long dresses down to their feet:
But this changed by the twenties, of which dresses were made below the knee: mini skirts didn’t exist until the 60’s.
I want to be there.
Me too, a thousand times
❤❤❤
Wow Mr Gibson was busy
Some say they are still clocking out… 👻👻👻
The hairstyle is called The Gibson.
How do you choose the color of the dress since the original colors are black and white? Most dresses are red but some are blue. Also, the colors change a bit when the lovely ladies are moving. Why is it?
Kept watching for the blonde 👱♀️
Blonde hair was not in style in the turn of the century.
everyone has the same hairstyle
I wonder if Margorie Maine was a Gibson girl in her younger years?
She belonged to the streets
RIP to everyone of them
They pulled out all the stops to record sound as well.
The AI really has problems with so many people and colouring their clothes.
I wonder what the REAL color of their fabrics were?
Not red. That is the color of “whorls” if you know what I mean…
And they were real ladies back then.
Ghosts of a bygone age
I wonder what work they did. They all look very clean so I'm guessing clerical work. But they are sort of on the factory floor, so might've been some delicate hand work. It was common back in the day to hire women for delicate work, because they are better at it. When I first clicked the video my first thought was telephone operators, but then I read the description.
Making clothes using a sewing machine in factories.
@@bluevictory1010 Possibly. But description says they're working at Westinghouse.
I'll bet they all worked as coil winders. Look up photos of the factory. There were dozens of these women doing that job.
I've seen the same video before on another YT channel a time ago.
British pathe I guess?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
they look relaxed, no stress, true woman
Exactly! I agree with your comment
Sorry if this has been asked already in the past 2 days but what is with the majority white/maroon color scheme? Is it a uniform for the department or job title? Were the ladies in blue tops senior staff?
This is a colourized film. It was originally in black & white.
@@G5rry So, my husband of monochromatic color-blind, but he can approximate the actual color based on the shade of gray. I have no knowledge/experience with color retouching, so I thought that may be the case here too. Anyway, thank you!. Sounds like it was an artistic choice. I like it though!
Am i the only one curious as to how the machine works
I love their "fanny packs" which were probably, at the time, called "reticules".
What did they do?
