And not one of these people even once considered that 130 years in the future, someone will be awake at 3am watching them walk down the street.

That moment you realize a 1890 video camera quality is more clear than a 2020 gas station security camera quality .

everyone looking directly at the camera lens, having seen one for the very first time. it's really amazing how it feels like making eye contact with someone who has been dead and forgotten for decades as they go about their day in such a familiar yet alien way. i am glad this footage has been preserved.

This was absolutely fascinating. I was struck by one particular thing that most all these people in all these places seemed to have in common - hardly anyone was overweight.

I can’t believe that their casual daily outfit is so grand and royalty.

One might see his great great great-grandad without even knowing about it.

It's actually crazy to see how different the world was back then. Those people led such different lives than we do nowadays and yet in many ways they were also so similar. It seems so far away by now but 140 years really isn't such a long time. Incredible!

Looking at old pictures of every day life always makes me wish time travel was real

Guy at the 5:38 "Nobody saw me falling". Millions of People in 100 years future- "Hello"!

There's something so moving about seeing all these people smiling and waving to the camera, it's like seeing them smiling and waving to us despite the 100 + years time difference

Every-time I see these type videos I'm amazed all over again at how everyone recorded in these videos have all passed on from this life! They were all headed somewhere on these particular days. Work, home, church.... just fascinating

I find old slice of life footage old this fascinating, but it also makes me melancholic to think that everyone you see, even the smallest and most lively children, are now gone. Movies hit different than still pictures or paintings. To me the people seem more alive, like you could almost step into the video and get to know them if time wasn't standing in the way. I wonder how they lived their lives? Were they happy? Did they have family they left behind?

Just imagine that you watched one of your Ancestors in the video without knowing it

When I watch it, I think about that people, their lives, who they are, what did they think at the moment... Inventing recording stuff is big achievement. Once recorded, you will be never forgotten.

0:50 love how the guys waving their hats at the ship notice the camera and start waving their hats at the camera...

Many thanks for uploading this video. I'm an Indian. I have never visited abroad and cannot be able to visit abroad in the rest of my life. But it seems that I, myself, was travelling in various countries of this world in 133 years ago through time machine. It's a real but dream travelling. Extraordinary ! Extrabrilliant ! Picture quality is outstanding. Please try to upload more old, amazing and rare footages of cities live round the world of 1800s if possible and permissible. (Dated the 19th day of February in 2023).

Almost literally seeing ghosts from the past. Its mesmerizing to see history like this.

It is sobering to think that every one of these people, children, in these film clips and the world over......are gone. Millions of lives lived and forgotten with little left to show they had actually been alive.....generations who loved, laughed out loud, cried. In that pre-electronic age they just had each other.....which was all they needed. RIP to all.

This is amazing. The past brought to life. Thank you for making this incredible footage possible to be viewed. My favorite were all the horse scenes especially the fire engine

Hey! That’s me at 5:03 in that cart wow, I can still remember that like it was yesterday.

It’s amazing that we all had family living at this time. Wonder what they were up to.

KZfaq's getting a bit too comfortable with these double non-skip ads...

What impresses me the most is seeing a world without screens or cell phones but adapting to modernity, the tram, ice skates, the bike. Although I am not a millennial, I can say that I got to know a bit of the world without cell phones.

Camera in 1890's: Good Quality Security Cameras in 2020: 140p or worse

I’m watching this with my 112yrs old great grandma she’s loving it

Massive respect to the cameraman for going all these places

The one from Czechia got me emotional. It’s like looking through my ancestors’ eyes.

Everyone dressed like they were someone important and had somewhere important to be. Love it!

It’s weird that statistically everyone of these people full of so much life have long been dead now.

People at that time look honorable, moderately covered and simple. Beautiful times.

This is a truly amazing collection of footage.

Each and every one of them had a name, a family, and a lifetime worth of experiences. Something about this and similar footage is heartbreaking.

Interesting to think how every single person seen in this video lived a life every bit as important and deep as yours.

This is better, clearer footage than today's bigfoot videos. This was definitely awesome though. Thanks. I'm a huge history buff so things like this are too much for me to pass up. It's kinda cool to see that not much has changed when people see a camera. Over 125 yrs, and people's reaction to being filmed has only intensified. You also get to see how people have been walking out in front of moving vehicles since the horse & wagon. We think that society has changed, and it definitely has, but there's probably more things in common with the people in these videos than we realize, and that's really cool to think about.

This was a treat to watch! Thank you!

This makes me think how similar life remains and always has been. Days have always been the same length, sun rises, sun sets. Work, eat, sleep, leisure. Nothing new under the sun.

It's so odd knowing that every man, woman, child, horse, and every other living animal there is probably dead now. Maybe only the trees still stand

Fascinating!!! I was lucky to meet my grand mother she was 98 years old in 1990 . She did show me her family pictures, amazing .... I wish to be more more focus but unfortunately I was only a kid at that time . ( italy )

Nice music selections for this!

to be lucky enough to get a glimpse so far back in time. So many generations before could never have the ability to see. i feel honored to have lived in today.

5:40 “I hope nobody saw that” *130 years later*

Truly fascinating! Thanks for posting this. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Such a unique view into the past.... thank you.

dear audience in 2200, when you read this, I could probably be long gone, but I'm passing my love, bless, and best wishes to you and your future generations. peace ✌

When I look at this, I suddenly realized just how short life is, let’s really maximize it before it’s too late

Спасибо большое ютубу и каналам за эти видеоРетро,очень люблю смотреть,как люди раньше жили,как одеты,улицы,транспорт,архитектура--Супер....👍👍👍🇪🇺

Thank you for this. It's a great look at history.

Thank You so much for this Timemachine : ).

I've recently been thinking about human lifespans and how they can overlap and bridge long periods of history. For example, I was born in 1960. When I was 5, we had a neighbor couple who were in their mid-80's. I remember them well. So they were born around 1880. If they knew someone who was in their 80's when they were kids, that someone would have been born in the late 1700's. So I knew people who knew people who were born in the 1700's. Really trippy. I saw a video here on KZfaq that showed some of the earliest photographs of people ever taken, which were in the 1840's. There was a very old woman in one of the photos who was born around the 1740's. She was alive at the same time as J.S. Bach, and the American Revolution happened when she was nearly middle-aged. The last Civil War veteran died the year before I was born. That also seems hard to believe to me. I've enjoyed talking to elderly people my entire life because their stories of the past are like experiencing history nearly first hand. Really looking forward to watching this video in a few moments because I've wondered how people were different back then. Did they walk differently? We've all seen the social customs of the Victorian era portrayed in films, but are those portrayals accurate? Did strangers tip their hats at one another in passing on the street, or is that just a product of Hollywood? This video is about as close to a time machine as we're likely to get. Thank you for putting this together.

They're all dead now... but if you look at them you can feel the connection, it doesn't fade...no one ever really dies...there is hope and light even in our darkest hours. Bless&love to you on your journey.

These types of pictures always make me nostalgic. Their world was so big.

Wow. Amazing thanks for sharing.

The quantity and variety of hats was interesting: everyone had a hat. I loved these films.

5:39 Little did he know millions of people from 130 years in the future would watch his embarrassing fall. Poor kid thought nobody saw 😆

I feel watching this together with the music is really moving

I’m kinda trippen , because 99% couldn’t imagine what life would be like how it is now & how 99% can’t imagine how much further we will go & also the fact that all these people are gone , and someday we all will be too

Everyone dressed up so nicely in the olden days.

I was 16 when my grandfather, who was alive when these films were shot, died. He in turn knew someone who knew George Washington. That to me is amazing. It's almost like it shrinks the vast spans of time, and makes history a little less abstract, a little more real.

Love the musical acompaniment!

Interesting sound track! Something surreal and another world-like feeling. good work!

The world's going to change so hard in about 20 years for these happy folks. Entire generations wiped away. Absolutely heartbreaking.

To know that these people all had names and a life. A name and life we may never know. Each and every one of them, all with a purpose at that very moment, are now immortalized by this footage. I wonder if even one individual in these films knew that. Thank you so much for posting this. I have no idea why it hit so hard but it did.

Amazing footage!

Thank u for this video.

This video is a real gem.

As a world traveller, I love seeing how things used to be. I’m not so interested in the history that’s taught in books, but more so how the people lived and what the cities looked like. Love this footage thanks a lot

Love watching those old videos

Beautiful music! Well done

those beautiful...beautiful times where KZfaq ads didn't exist....

Imagine time traveling and seeing this in real colors

Fascinating thank you

The character everything had back in those days was just incredible, something we have lost over the years. The fashion, the buildings, the towns

Old Dudes: Hey look... Something is going on... also Old Dudes: I better start waving my hat.

Menonton video ini rasanya ingin ikut menikmati masa masa tersebut. Melihat kehidupan masa lalu sangat membuat kenangan yang sulit diucapkan... Terima kasih sudah menampilkan video kenangan yang indah....

Very interesting and astonishing, thank you!

The boy (5:40): "Dammit! I've just fell in the snow in a really embarassing way. it's ok though, nobody will ever remember that 5 minutes from now. The internet, 130 years later:

Imagine in hundreds of years from now people can watch clear videos of their ancestors. Imagine KZfaq in 500 years, you're great great....great grand children reading their ancestors comments posted 500 years ago.

great video, nice music

That was very cool and nostalgic! 👍🏼👍🏼

Seems like, In those era people were very fond of hats. Edit : seems like most of the people agree with me, btw thanks for the likes, i have'nt got that much likes even on my post in fb and insta 😁😂

8:31 Random person: Hey kid you're blocking the camera. kid: What the hell is a camera?

This is so good

Love this type of video

To the ladies dancing at 2:18, little did you know that you'd be cheering people up over 120 years in the future who were in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.

imagine being a kid in tokyo japan in the 1890's and living to 100 years to see the entire city transform

You are looking at the present, not the past, you are these people, and you are living in a time that will be just as remote from the memories of others! Appreciate the strangeness of the moment

This is fascinating!

it's both endearing and sad to watch this, especially when you know what history had in store for them some years ahead.

8:36 That moving sidewalk was a cool innovation. Not like the ones we have in airports.

This is breathtaking

amazing. before any of the world wars. before any media at all aside radio. everyone is so well dressed and happy and every single body is wearing a sweet hat

i don't know why i feel so nostalgic...i have so many questions like where were they going, what were they saying, what were they thinking...i don't know either why i'm getting emotional, but this video almost made me cry

"All these moments will be lost in time, like teardrops in the rain".

3:01 i’m amazed at how synchronized they are

These videos always blow my mind

It’s weird to think that right now we live in an advanced futuristic world that these people could have never even imagined

I'm surprised footage has still survived till this day. Many films from that era have been lost due to film catching fire or intentionally being destroyed.

Cooool with music!! Hammer!!👍👍👍🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️❤️❤️😊😊😊

Bohemia, Czechs....Those are my people....thanx 4 showing!

100 years later: People looking at footage of our lifes saying: "Little did they know that WW3 was coming at them" History always repeats itself
