New York in 1911 - fascinating video

[CustardySergeant]

What amazing quality for 108 years ago.

Fantastic. I love seeing the El trains.

Unless you were poor or ill, the quality of life was probably better then than now.

Thanks for sharing that, it's indeed fascinating.

Didn't everyone look immaculate?

In case you haven't seen it, there's a video of San Francisco in 1906, just before the earthquake. If you search on YouTube there are several versions, some with added (faked) soundtrack, but although the quality isn't as good as others I find the one titled Air - La Femme D'Argent really haunting. It's here but you may prefer the ones without that music.

I always wish the people could know that in 2019 people all round the world were able to see them, like the lady getting on the bus. Weird thought I know, but that's me all over!
