Old film of New York City in the year 1911. Print has survived in mint condition. Slowed down footage to a natural rate and added in sound for ambiance. This film was taken by the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern on a trip to America

Fascinating!
all of these people are dead, ghost city
All these people are already dead and probably the majority totally forgotten by their living descendants who have not come to know them. How will happen to us. Sad.
essas imagens tá muito limpa pra ser 1911
I can see a lot of fog caused probably by air polution. Chimney in the city are smoking a lot.
Thanks for sharing this video. I like history :).
Time flies by so quick and so does our time here on earth. These videos make me feel so sad, all of these lives are preserved through these videos but they are now no longer physically here with us. In these videos are people, ordinary people just like u and me. People who are enjoying their life and living in the moment; breathing,alive people who probably didn’t even imagine what the world would be like in 100+ years later. To them, this old-fashioned life was their normal life and they thought that it was the most modern, these people who are now dead probably didn’t even imagine a day where they would cease to exist. You see tho, imo pictures and videos are a beautiful invention, even after u pass there will always be a picture or video left behind capturing ur most precious memories and emotions from when you were alive. It’s like ur still alive but really not. R.I.P to all of these people, it’s sad to think about how everyone there are now gone. They seem so alive in these videos.
Imagine those people knew 6.6 million ppl are gonna see this and themselves over 100+ years later?
It must have smelt wonderful with all the horse poop everywhere. Ah yes. The fine aroma of horse shite. ?
i didn't see any lady with bikini or like kims.
Imagine being in Hoodie and tracks with Apple watch on wrist and iphone in hand, it would be so weird to stand among those people ????
I especially like that guy with one leg on the crutches ?? .

100% of these people already passed away from this world…

They have just Re Engineered Whole Society Culture and moral Values.

Nowadays people get dragged out of cars and threatend…
The Chinese character on the background shows how the Chinese people are very resilient and hardworkers.
that time ladies wear full cloths and it is fashion to cover body.. it was amazing……
I am thinking how come they built huge building in era of 1800-1900 with ourt proper machinery and technology ?

What was common the sound of horses, bell and hats.
