The First Photographs Ever Taken of Amsterdam [600+ Images, 1859-1899] Dutch Golden Age/ Technology
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Today we will browse through over 600 of the most detailed and rarest photographs taken of Amsterdam before the year 1900. These images, many never before seen on, come from a multitude of different resources, including, but not limited to; the Amsterdam Historical Society, and The University of Amsterdam.
The oldest photograph is this collection will date to roughly 1859, which is the earliest photograph of Amsterdam I was able to locate. This is my most in depth collection to date, and the abundance of ancient, or old world technology, visible in this city is unquestionably remarkable. Please like, share, and subscribe to my channel if you’re not already, and be sure to leave a comment down below about which images stood out to you the most.
Again, this collection is for the Old World researcher, and the newcomer to European History, as the vast and elaborate architecture showcased through today’s collection will astound even the most seasoned of viewers. Enjoy!

I'm Dutch, my family used to own two hotels in Amsterdam, one was built in 1666. Been doing deep research on some buildings and going through the archives of the City of Amsterdam. So far absolutely fascinating. I hope to make a video about it soon...
I'd ❤ to see it!
The buildings already stood there!
Those buildings already stood there😂
How long does it take to design and build a train......one wonders...
Decades or months......and where did all the steel ...come from
@@TRIBE.OF.ZEBULUN euhhh you are also describing Aussie there mate.. a totally plundered raped continent. I think Holland is glad you moved away :D
I remember going to Amsterdam with my Dad when I was 10 and saying to him. 'Dad these are the same buildings as Sydney'
I also remember my Dutch family being so kind and loving, I always miss them very much.
Dutch people all left.
I would prefer the US over Australia, you moved in the years after the war ?
You owned a farm, what is your story ?
We all left, now Europa is White villages only, rest is gone.....
Paris and London get a lot of the attention when it comes to amazing architecture, but this city is absolutely spectacular and can hold its own against any European city. Amazing photos.
In Paris they know only one type of buildings namely Haussmann. Before that it more looked like Amsterdam without the canals…
@@on-the-pitch-p3wDutch architecture was very distinguished as tippically Dutch.
Old Paris was smaller than Amsterdam (during the 17th-18th century Amsterdam was the biggest city in Europe, even the world. You can look it up)
Pre-Haussmann houses were all plastered white and gray, nothing like Amsterdam's architecture....
@@jsb7975and now it is one of the smallest cities in the world. Not even close to 1 million.
@@heuvelke1065 it's over 900.000 now and around one and a half million urban.
Metropolitan 2 and a half million.
Been to London it's nothing special
In those times, people wore their nicest clothes because they were out in public. My grandmother told me (so this is early last century) that she had two sets of clothes for my uncles & aunties, one set of nice clothes for when they travelled to a relative's place & then when they would arrive, she would get them to change into the second set regular clothes. She said people would judge parents for not providing good clothes as if to imply they were lower class & couldn't take care of their kids if the kids didn't have nice clothes.
Seeing everyone dressed nicely the further you go back in time makes sense.
That's correct. I remember those days very well (73 years old now and still going strong). We had sunday clothses and week clothes. The sunday clothes were for doctor visits or for when there were visitors. The minute I came home from school I had to change in the "home clothes". My grandparents had a sunday parlour eventhough they had a very tiny house. It was empty most of the year. Weird actually when you look back. In my whole life I have been in there maybe 4 times. The christmas tree was in there and I was not allowed in there. Great times; no supermarkets, sweets for 1 cent. I can go on for ever but most of all: we were free!
@@donquichotte9424 I'm not your age but I still do that, nice clothes for outside, less nice clothes for inside.
The thing that always sticks out to me the very most is the slipshod signage on these astounding buildings. I feel like that is one of the major telltale signs that things are not as we are told...
Thank you as always Jarid, you do the best work.
Hidden ARCHITECHNOLOGY 🪃💥👀🌊⚖️💯%…….
That's what sticks out to me too
I totally agree!
I have no idea what "slipshod signage" means. Can anyone explain?
Slipshod - careless, untidy or slovenly.
Signage - signs as a collective.
Hope that clears things up
@@boepiesnoep7867
I can only cry when i see this, what did they do to my country
Two World Wars which devastated Europe and caused their Colonial Empires to collapse?
Let's not forget the cold war which split Europe into two, and it's hastily reform into globalism after the fall of the Sovjet Union, and blamo, we're at Europe today.
immigration + americanisation is what ruins this country
made it better, just remember, these people have diversity or pride parades. Isnt life so much better now?
What I see is a much more refined and advanced society than we have today.
Excellent presentation and thank you.
Glad you liked it!
One 5 dollar microchip is 100 times more advanced and refined than all this shit
@@Dorianek8 You're too focused on technology. It all depends how you view the comparison, in lots of ways their world was more careless and in harmony than the chaos of the society and ugly nature of current days concrete jungles we're experiencing today.
In ways this is true. But at the end of the 19th century into the 20th century Amsterdam would have also been one of the dirtiest, stinking cities of Europe, with parts of the city being in quite a state of disrepair. That is until Dr. Sarphati came with his ingenious water management plan for the city, with fresh water taps and watertanks for all. The city was plagued by cholera.
@@XpRnzIt's because of culture and lack of social media. Mass immigration has It's consequences. We have no common ground anymore since our morals aren't the same anymore. There's no solidarity in todays society anymore. It's everyone for themselves. This will never ever come back.

Top. Bedankt 🎉
Why would anyone burn Paleis voor Volksvlijt? It almost seems like it's inserted. It is hard to believe it existed.
@@artstation707 That is still unknown but it might have been done on purpose but of course its not sure. Maybe someone left the candle on or something. As far as I know there was no proof of someone doing it on purpose.
Dank je! Ik vroeg mij al af wat dat prachtige gebouw was. Paleis voor volksvlijt dus. Jammer dat het niet herbouwd is.

Jarid my man, when you do it you do it. What a tremendous work you've done with this. I wonder how many people or even historians know about this kind of collection, or who even cares about it. And here you are, you brought it to the world via TH-cam. Thank you for that. And thank the Dutch people who helped you do it. I cannot believe the quality of these photographs.
Rotterdam was ‘completely destroyed’ and was in the past, huge, iirc. Would be great to see what it was like before the destruction
And thanks for these productions Jared!
Rotterdam was quite dirty as the living standards where lower, there are enough photos online that you can find from the same era but it was nowehere compared to the sophistication of Amsterdam "One of Worlds Biggest Business and Trade Cities"
Well, Amsterdam alway’s was richer so much nicer.
The video game Battlefield (V) rebuild a part of old Rotterdam Pre WW2, same style and feel as Amsterdam.
Here some footage th-cam.com/video/H6KRSnMJDdg/w-d-xo.html
Exactly,
A special about what Rotterdam looked like that periode would be desireable 🤗
@@eszteca-music
Amsterdam also had Its upper and low parts that time. 😅🤗
Slumbs were in all big cities, worldwide and still are. 😅
Born in amsterdam in the early 50s,i am subscribed .
the center of the city like the Rembrands plein and the waterloo plein,the Amstel river were my playground,...no tv and no computers at all just a kid playing and exploring at the age of 5....
I live in Amsterdam, for many decades now.
A lot of the buildings in these photos are still there, all these locations can still be visited the same way as they were in the photos.
Amsterdam was mostly spared in the first and second world war. So most architecture is still there today.

You are very lucky ! Where are you, Red Light is still here, and the palaces of the leaders....Rest is gone, sorry
Here is all gone, the railway to Germany was the first, now everything is gone.
Blooker, the Wind Mill, on the High Way now, was Oeterwalde, a small creek.
Many many many Doner Kebab now, everything that was is gone, all mega Hotels, one day trippers, not the backpackers that interact, ticket agent people....
It's all gone, only the Red Light district is still here !
YOU NEED TO FIGHT OR IT'S ALL GONE NOW !
They loved their 'vanilla skies' in Amsterdam, too :)
Don't ask questions :) easily explainable :) all photos just did that :) that's just the way pictures came out back then :)
Awesome collection dude! The Netherlands also has a massive inventory of original star forts...
Nederland van bovena bekeken lijkt een starfort met allemaal steunpunten ( kleinere Sterfortjes ) . waanzinnig eigenlijk om te bedeknen dat dit wereldwijd geexploiteerd is . wat vernuft .
Yeah, the Netherlands were already one the most heaviliy fortified regions in Europe at the outbreak of the Eighty Years' War (1560's).
Been living in Amsterdam for 13 years and still love it so much, it's still majestic though modern times obviously had it's way with it.. Would sell my soul to be able to walk around and experience it in those days!
Your research and photographs are ALWAYS mind-blowing and appreciated! Thank you, love your work ❤ !
Is Hugh Everette in photos .
Only an underdevelopped people that can not appreciate beauty destroys such architecture. So we were certainly not capable of constructing it. Impressive one Jarid.
Practically all of this architecture survives until today! Thankfully
I am Dutch too, and grew up in the old inner city of The Hague, living in a building from the 16th century. The architecture is much like Amsterdam, people still live in these buildings. Many canals have been drained and paved over to make way for traffic by cars and trucks instead of by boat. But many are still there too. For most Americans/Canadians these city-scapes are astounding. Not so for the people that live there. .. Indeed we had high ceilings and high windows, in the living quarters for healthy air circulation and light, but less high in the upper stories where the servants originally used to live. Our front door was old, enormous and very heavy, yet still swung open with ease. These larger homes were merchants houses, the high and wide front doors were used for easy access of goods, the bottom floor used to be a warehouse, large rooms with very high ceilings for storage of the merchandise. The canals used to further transport of the goods from the seaports.
Eerie, intriguing, breathtaking ... and I just love your soundtrack. Especially that second track! 💯❤
Wow. Amsterdam was SO much more spectacular then than when I visited there in 2000. Thank you for this video.
You look nicer on the photo’s as well.
True, in the socialist decade of the seventies they tored many beautiful 19th-century buildings down (were concidered to be neo- and not historical)
@@on-the-pitch-p3w lmao
I'm so grateful for these photos. The old world was so lovely...I truly feel like I belong there. And I really believe in reincarnation. I'm sure that I was there...I can feel it. Thank you for finding and sharing these photos. 🌹
Quick question, did Amsterdam have a catastrophic fire? 🤔 and I like your choice of music. 🎵🎶🥰
Go watch the channel the why files. They have a great video on the soul catcher machines the aliens use to recycle us on earth. Our negative energy is a drug for the aliens that put us here on earth. It’s very interesting.
You are so welcome
Yes in the 1400's when the houses were made of wood. They switched to brick after that. Two wooden houses from the 1400's are still standing. People are still living in houses from the 1600's. Many buildings in the city center have been preserved. Everything was made to be beautiful back then. Come visit! It feels like going back in time.
Jarid, I am a fan of your channel. Much appriciation. I find it hypnotizing and annoying that the photographs move. Would you try a video where you share the whole still photographs? So we can see the whole picture. May be more people feel like this? Especially this one on Amsterdam for me from Holland.
I stopped watching because I didnt like that.
I like it this way
Wow! My compliments for this! My birthtown ❤
Ever since I was little , say 7 or 8 years old, and we would go for a stroll on sunday I would look in awe to all the old houses. I turned out be a history geek and I still look in awe when I'm home.
Amsterdam had 225.000 residents in 1850 and in 50 years time it doubled to 522.000 in 1900. Living was hell in Amsterdam in those days. The houses were made of wood, mice and fungi everywhere, sicknesses as tuberculose, cholera and tyfus were common.
Why? Because there were no sewers in those days yet! Everything got in the canals and that's why there were so much diseases.
In 1871 so called vacuum carriages were going through the streets to pick up feces that people collected in buckets, the feces were made into fertilizer.
Unemployed people were picked to start sweeping the streets and the first waterpipes underground were built so people could buy a bucket of clean water for 1 cent.
Streets were so narrowly built that the sunshine couldn't even touch the ground. There is an old Amsterdam expression: "you can stick it where the sun doesn't shine" It originates out of these small streets.
Nowadays there are 3 houses known older than what you see in these pictures : the wooden house in the Begijnhof from around 1528, Int Aepjen aan de Zeedijk 1 from around 1548, but the oldest is the house at Warmoesstraat 90 was built in 1485!

How to get it back, now outsiders take over our City, it's not the Free West anymore.
We as locals that did stay for ages, lost their rights ? Why give it away ?
Why the evil leaders, we have to change it how it was, the west is good ! preserve it
The West is Good, Clean the evil that took it over !
Pretty sure that expression has nothing to de with narrow streets.
@@martinuso7446 🤣🤣
Fantastic😀Thank you so much! I was born in Amsterdam, and to see all this old glory touches me very much🙏❤
Well, this is great. Love the photos. Like in other places, just two buildings would have sufficed for the number of people in the streets, but, when in a area where it appears lived in, you’ll notice the curtains from different floors reflect different attitudes of how the light or shade is desired. Only those photos show a sense of individual presence, but the high windows, and doorways, I just cannot get over a feeling that they are way too large for the folks in the picture. Kind of like a toddler by the living room window or doorway. Anyway, thanks, you all can figure out what you think, and good job by our host, in letting music play and allowing you to make your own determination. Well done!
I'm going to watch this at least a few times. Thank you Jared.
Like always such a good video Jarid ! But please make a other video of belgium please theres sooo much old buildings and old tech here.. I love your channel soooo much !! Keep up the good work you doing and much love !❤
Wow. This is really great. I live in Amsterdam for 45 years and though much changed, there is so much that is still there. Wonderful to see. Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed it, my friend, thank you for watching. I dream of one day visiting and seeing the remaining masterpieces in person.
I really need to make a donation to you and your dedication for this passion.
From all the other nonsense here on youtube, this truly has great character. Great stuff like always
So many photo's of the neighborhood where I live, so humbling to see how many people lived in these houses before my time. Makes you wonder how far we live back in time right now for all the generations to come.
Thank you,amazing research! I've seen buildings and architecture like this all around Europe,even in the smallest of places. The people look placed in there,not homogenous somehow.
Fascinating to see all these pics together. Thanks! This is my home. Such a beautiful city still today.
Excellent set of photographs and presentation - Appreciate the work that you do!

Thanks for sharing👍✌
Pretty sure 41:41 is in alkmaar
Wow .... Thank you, Jarid Boosters, for this. Amsterdam is the city i was born in and where i live now. I am interested in history and photography, so i have seen many photos of the old Amsterdam, from before i was born. But you really add something ... I do see very recognizable buildings and street-views. I do see "recognizable" views of torn-down buildings and dried up canals. About former buildings: I teamed up with people wanting to restore the "Paleis van Volksvlijt", the then people's culture centre. I see so many things ... i am happy that most people in this city donot wear black c;othes. So much to say, however i can't add at this moment.
So, thank you, Jarid ! I will try to look at your other contributions here when i find the time.
Many thanks, Jarid, for sharing this splendid document. I lived near Amsterdam in my youth, fifties and sixties, which I visited regularly. So I recognize many in this video like the steamvessel of KNSM and other ships, steam locomotives and harbour scenes, St. Nicholas Church, Central Station, etc. It stirs in me melancholy, not the least because of what we have lost. People back then seemed to have built with passion, so beautifully balanced architecture and city infrastructure and so on with 'primitive' means compared to modern technology.
Absolutely wonderful, pics. Many, many, of these I've never seen.
And that's saying something.
You have a great channel. I appreciate all the work and content you bring forward.
I just wanted to say, as one of the 144k annointed, you were one of the people that taught me some of my pre-ceding knowledge. You are blessed ❤
12K from each tribe of the zodiac
This is nothing short of brilliant; all credit to Jarid. Wow!
Glad to see some old world leftovers from that time. Have not yet watched the whole but Im already thankfull
Fascinating stuff! Always fun to see historical photos, seeing how people lived at that time and compare it to what it has become now. Some of the stuff I could recognise (or not, as I think there are photos from Rotterdam in there as that city looked a lot like Amsterdam) and cared to mention and some stuff that looked familiar, but could not quite place it and had to do some 'detective work':
0:30 Rijksmuseum at the back, looking from the bridge towards the Spiegelgracht
0:57 Says at the bottom of the card: Prins Hendrikkade (near central station), St. Nicolaaskerk
1:04 "Het Koninklijk Paleis" (The Royal Palace, on the Dam square), former town hall, dubbed palace since Louis Bonapart (Napoleon's brother) was put there to govern the country. The statue in front was a national monument dedicated to the march of king William I against the Belgian uprising in 1831 and was called "Eendracht" (Unity), which soon became nicknamed "Naatje op de Dam" or "Naatje". Built in 1855-56 and removed in 1914 when the square was restructured/tram tracks were moved.
1:15 Ringvaart is a canal southeast of Amsterdam
1:46 Military building says "Marine" (navy). It's now a museum of maritime history (Scheepvaartmuseum).
1:59 Reguliersgracht nr 136, corner with Lijnbaansgracht. The factory chimney in the background, I believe is of the bread factory at the Vijzelgracht, which has been demolished long time ago.
2:00 Former headquarters of the postoffice at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. It's a largely vacant (a few shops) shopping mall called Magna Plaza, but a monument.
2:16 this doesn't look like Amsterdam??
2:27 Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) at Dam square. In the background is the tower of the Palace.
2:36 Westerkerk (Western Church)
2:53 Dam square
3:21 Drawing of the Raadhuisstraat
3:39 Could be Weesperstraat, which was demolished in its entirity after WW2, a shopping street similar to Utrechtsestraat and Leidsestraat
3:49 View on the Munttoren at Muntplein, just not quite sure from what angle, but think Reguliersbreestraat.
4:09 Rijksmuseum viewd from the Paulus Potterstraat. They added more to the "Druckeruitbouw / Druckervleugel" (Drucker wing) in 1906 to house an art collection which now blocks the view on the Rijksmuseum.
4:38 Construction of the postoffice HQ from 2:00
6:45 Concertgebouw at Museumplein. Looks like a firefighter demonstration being held there.
7:35 Westerkerk seen from Prinsengracht, south of the Rozengracht bridge, taken from the Reestraat bridge
7:53 Watergraafsmeer (seen on the building) is an area then southeast of Amsterdam, now part of Amsterdam. The boys are posing on the Ringdijk, at the Ringvaart, and the road crossing in the background is now a bridge between Middenweg and Linnaeusstraat. Building on the right is Ringdijk 1A and still standing.
8:00 Entrance of Vondelpark at Stadhouderskade.
8:17 Rijksmuseum in the back, view on Museumplein. The road leading from the camera is Paulus Potterstraat, and the building on the right is the Stedelijkmuseum, art museum, now for modern art, opened in 1895. Here clearly the area is not yet fully finished.
9:03 East side of the central station.
9:34 Doesn't look like Amsterdam...
9:52 Don't think this is Amsterdam either..?
9:56 Magere Brug (Meager Bridge) over the river Amstel was named like that because an costly bridge was postponed and later a cheaper one was built. That's actually a photo by Jacob Olie in 1894.
10:09 Paleis voor Volksvlijt (Palace of Popular Diligence) viewed from next to Sarphatistraat and its bridge over the river Amstel. Destroyed. Area is now a quare with Dutch Bank built in the facinity.
10:38 Damrak, a lot of these buildings are no longer standing. Viewed from what's now Beursplein. But the building with the man on a ladder, suspended out of the window, is still there; nr 83.
11:04 View on Muntplein and the Munttoren from Amstel river
11:34 Don't think this is Amsterdam..?
12:15 Buildings at what's now called Rembrandtplein. Building with Het Gouden Hoofd (The Golden Head) still exists to this day. Rembrandtplein 27. Rest on the photo is all gone. Viewed from Utrechtsestraat
12:34 Tower of Zuiderkerk on the right
12:52 View towards west on Rijksmuseum (towering building in the back in the middle) from Stadhouderskade
13:47 Stadsschouwburg at Leidseplein
14:07 + 14:13 Tram depot for horse trams at Konninginneweg 29. Anno 1893. Been a police station for a while. Now it's used commercially. Remarkable to see how little urban development there still is at the time of the photo.
15:14 Rijksmuseum
16:12 Paleis voor Volksvlijt viewed from Weteringschans. Buildings on the left still exist. The one on the corner is nr 255-257. Top ornaments got damaged, I guess and not rebuilt.
16:26 Looks like Vondelpark
16:41 View over 't IJ, harbour and open water north of central station (on the left).
17:51 Paleis voor Volksvlijt
18:04 Munttoren, viewed from Reguliersbreestraat
18:20 Paleis voor Volksvlijt
18:38 Schreierstoren (Cryers' Tower; named because family said goodbye to the sailors going for the East-Indies there). Church in the background is St. Nicolaaskerk.
19:08 West side of the Rijksmuseum. The gate saying "OVER AMSTEL" has been removed. But the door saying "Bibliotheek" (Library) is still there, and the Rijksmuseum Research Library is still housed behind it.
19:38 Bergpoort (mountain gate) was a gate in the defenses of the Bergkerk in Deventer. When it was found obstructing 'modern' traffic it was moved to the garden of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in 1885, merged together with a defense gate Herepoort (Lord's Gate) from Groningen. You see the Deventer side on this photo.
21:04 Mozes en Aäronkerk - Moses and Aaron Church (officially Church of St. Anthony of Padua). From that photo only the church still exists.
22:12 Dam square
22:52 View through the Reguliersbreestraat to the Munttoren from Rembrandtplein.
22:59 Paleis voor Volksvlijt
23:21 Rozengracht, already filled-in and no longer functioning as a canal, looking towards the Westerkerk
23:39 Munttoren viewed from the Amstel
23:49 Vondelpark entrance at Stadhouderskade
24:24 Don't think this is Amsterdam..
24:57 Royal Palace with Nieuwe Kerk in the background
25:10 Don't think this is Amsterdam..?
25:52 Montelbaanstoren
27:44 The gate in the garden of the Rijksmuseum, Herepoort from Groningen side.
27:52 Same gate, Deventer side
28:02 Schreierstoren on the right
28:47 Concertgebouw at Museumplein, newly built
30:14 Haarlemmerpoort; old city gate towards Haarlem
30:40 View over Amstel river, the sluices towards the Magere Brug, with the towers of Zuiderkerk and Oude Kerk in the background
30:46 Montelbaanstoren at the Oudeschans
31:08 Central station
31:21 View on the Mozes en Aäronkerk over what's now called Waterlooplein. Buildings on the left side are gone to make way for an opera and town hall (Stadhuis) building, nicknamed "Stopera"
31:30 Paleis van Volksvlijt
32:54 Central station
33:13 St. Nicolaaskerk
33:32 Rijksmuseum
22:41 Montelbaanstoren
35:27 Haarlemmerpoort
36:00 De Waag at Nieuwmarkt; First city gate, after city expansion a building for trade at the square that developed there. Now a restaurant.
36:38 Looks like the sawmill De Otter, ath the Gillis van Ledenberchstraat 78.
36:51 Munttoren on the left
37:29 Magere Brug over the Amstel river
37:32 Don't think this is Amsterdam..?
37:48 View on Zuiderkerktoren from the Amstel looking into Groenburgwal. The little wooden bridge is the Staalmeestersbrug
38:04 Carré theatre viewed from the Achtergracht
38:13 Leidseplein with on the left the old neoclassical Stadsschouwburg. Viewing into the Leidsestraat
38:34 Damrak, with int he distance the central station
40:00 Don't think this is Amsterdam..?
40:10 Magere Brug with decorations
40:57 Since it has the Rijksmuseum in the background, these buildings have been demolished. Think this is viewed from the north at the Weteringschans
41:15 Don't think this is Amsterdam..?
41:45 Since it has the Rijksmuseum in the background as well, these buildings all have been demolished. The one up front looks like a trade building, seen in other Dutch cities.
42:25 Dam square with central station in the far background
42:32 Jonas Daniel Meierplein with Mozes en Aäronkerk in the background on the right
43:15 "Vreest God eert den Koning" - 'Fear God honour the King'; "Hulde aan den Koning" 'Praise the King' 1817 - 1887; These and many of the other photos with decorations and people gathered around with the "W" on the decorations are to celebrate the country has been an official kingdom since 1817. In 1887 it was king William III who was king of the Netherlands.
43:21 "Heil den 70" - "Jarigen Oranjevorst", "Hail the 70" - "Birthday celebrating Orange sovereign"; "Leve de Koningin" - "Princes Wilhelmina", "(Long) Live the Queen" - "Princess Wilhelmina"; Wilhelmina was the oldest daughter of three and so to become the successor of king William III, great grandmother of the current king.
43:50 Dam square
44:00 drawings of decorations for the celebration of king William III. It was celebrated nationwide so some of these decorations are in other cities as well.
44:23 Decorations mentions Amstelveld, Prinsengracht
44:40 Damrak with Central station in the background
45:00 Memorial on the Dam square. Royal Palace in the background
46:30 "TER EERE VAN ONZEN KONING" - 'In honour of our king'
50:00 Don't think this is Amsterdam..?
50:46 Old neoclassical theatre Stadsschouwburg after the renovation of 1874 of the original built in 1774. When a fire destroyed the majority of its contents on the inside in 1890, a new one was built in 1894.
51:30 Rijksmuseum seen from Stadhouderskade with almost no urban development behind it yet, just pastures.
51:57 Munttoren, I think seen from Rokin/Doelensluis
52:34 De Waag, Nieuwmarkt
52:50 Barleus Gymnasium at the Wteringschans, built in 1885
52:57 De Waag, Nieuwmarkt
53:03 Looks like they are digging out the canal (still a bridge visible in the background) and its walls next to the Royal Palace and Nieuwe Kerk (on the right) to fill it up and turn it into a road
53:16 Looks like a view through the Jodenbreestraat before it was completely demolished after WW2. Tower of the Zuiderkerk in the background
53:25 Blauwbrug (Blue bridge) with the Mozes en Aäronkerk in the background
53:34 Newly built Central station. The facilities for the trams and busses up front are still need to be built, as well as the roof over the tracks still needs to be constructed
55:12 Entrance Vondelpark Stadhouderskade
55:52 Garden at the Rijksmuseum
56:50 Left side the former headquarters of the Dutch Bank (De Nederlandse Bank) at Oude Turfmarkt 127, built between 1865 and 1869. It stayed the HQ until 1968, when they moved to a new building on Frederiksplein. In 1976 it was turned into a museum for antiquities connected to the University of Amsterdam, in honour of professor Allard Pierson.
57:18 Westerkerk seen from Prinsengracht, south of the Rozengracht bridge, taken from the Reestraat bridge

59:00 View over the Kloveniersburgwal towards Nieuwmarkt with De Waag behind the decorations
59:21 Decorations at the Nieuwe Kerk at Dam square
59:35 Think this is the inside of the Paleis voor Volksvlijt
1:02:35 Building in the center is the Nieuwe Waalse Kerk at Keizersgracht 676, which was built between 1854 and 1856 after the Huguenots community bought the house to demolish it and build their church there, as the old one was deemed too small. Since 1989 it lost its function as a church and became a center for art. From 2012 'till present it's used as office space. The two twin buildings on the right of it (Keizersgracht 674 + 672), built in 1671-1672, have quite the history of ownership. Eventually they were bought by the family Van Loon in 1884. One of them functions now as a museum of the family.

1:42:58 Part of same Rokin photo
Wow! These photos are absolutely outstanding! Thank you for doing this! I really hope Jon levi finds this video or someone brings it to his attention.
Love to see these pics i know most places you show
A True treasure you made, thanks you for putting effort into this. Raised and lived in Amsterdam i recognitie so many buildings. What elegant beauty!
Strange to imagion that at the time of taking those pictures, these buildings were almost brandnew 😊
Best regards from the Netherlands
You do good research, Dude!
When cabbage came, tulips are never far away
Thank you so much for this one Jarid! Amsterdam is still a beautiful place, there is still a lot standing but also a lot destroyed. This is stunning. When I see this, I get the feeling that I was born a century too late. I'll share this on Li.
Jarid thanks for all the work! The Concert Gebouw (English: building) at 28:50 is according WikiPedia build in 1884. However, looking at the foto it looks all but not new. Don’t know when exactly this photo was made ofcourse. Furthermore, it looks that around 1850 almost all was already there and around 1900 a lot of buildings look not maintained/abandoned… Hardly any contruction going on these days. I got many questions what was going on these days…
Just incredible. Wow👍❤️
WOW!
Awesome! Thank you!
for some reason i am able to see the stereoscopics in 3d when i slow it down and do the "magic eye" gaze. anyone else?
Yes
Yes
I live in Amsterdam and it’s great to step into a time capsule and take a look at the old world !🫵🏼❤️🙏
Amazing architecture. No doubt so is the build quality. Whoever the orig builders and designers they were incredibly talented.
Great collection!
I loved listening to the beautiful music while glancing at the magical, mysterious past with the incredible buildings.
I sometimes break out with tears, at times my emotions are triggered watching your vids..
Thanks for your vids & effort you put into them..
Thank you so much. I really love these old photos and the perspective it gives on life in this time of age
at 1850s Amsterdam was already built and based on @8:19 seems they were just cleaning up the streets from the mud. Desolate civilization being renovated and claimed. The sculptor appears to be posing and the sculpture appears complete! @8:33 inexplicable doors that open without stairs tell me this was used for vehicles arriving (loading and unloading bay) to the rather large building or new additions. @10:24 the aged brick could probably be side by side compared to 100+ year old brick. If it is the same as the brick lower on this building, then you could add an additional 50+ years to the building, if anyone is good at brick comparisons. You'll note they fixed the other side of the building's worn 50+ year old bricks. @21:39 You see bricked in windows. What's more, you also can follow the line of buildings and visibly see that these were war/cataclysm stricken buildings that were barely put back together. Picture the windows smashed out and you'll see what I mean. The leaning and "to and fro" is palpable and these buildings were repaired from a highly devastated state.
Are you one of those schizo mudflood people?
Sometimes i wonder, how many stories of villages dying were from having accidentally discovered radioactive ore before they understood it...
And if any of the "old world" may have had nukes or something equivalent leading to the dark ages and later to the rediscovering of electricity as a tool
Lunatic or what
@@Dorianek8 Very much so, lol.
FABULOUS COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is friday..this is another enlightenment..love as I ponder over all these extraordinary photos...this is really a historical search light...just navigate..such a part of my creative research...journey on ...peace and work ..labor...landscapes of future glory...my friend.
@2:03 appears to have two entrances, maybe two wings? My best guess would be gendered entrances, or at least separate wings for different work types in one wing vs other wing. The tower suggests a college to me because they would ring bell, use a speaker to make announcements or even play sounds/music. The frontal spires appear to be the power spires.
It is a photograph of the Amsterdam Main Post Office, now the Magna Plaza shopping centre, located at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 182.
... and your voice is a delight to listen to. Thank you.
Venice of the North , born and raised in Amsterdam , you make my day ,,
Time stamp 18: 46 seems to capture Photon Ethereal Magnetic Energy for transfer battery storage into AC current electricity ?
Look up bricks for batteries... probably the structures either stored the energy or vibrated to create the energy or both.
What becomes very clear from these old photos is that the Netherlands needed more diversity and massive immigration.
I do believe there are old world buildings, and then there are cheap imitations that came much later to hide the real ones.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
great collection of images..thanks for sharing..would have been perfect if you had chosen to show whole images in slideshow, rather than scrolling up and down, as often the interesting antiquitech at the very top of some images and the mudflood basement windows werent shown as the image had morphed to the next one.great work though and thanks again :D
Hahahaha Cool that you found our archive. It's amazing isn't it? =)
Edit: Here's a little tidbit. Check the pictures with bridges, there's always someone helping someone pull a cart up the bridge.
Those were called "bruggetrekkers" or bridge pullers. the most famous one in Amsterdam was Kikkie.
Time stamp 26:05 street light appear to be using Metal Halide gas discharge lamps.
Begorrah !!!
Thanks Jarid, im your 888th like, which i find intrigueing. I appreciate your work Jared and have been following you for several years now. Charles Was, is another of my go to for information. BIG UPS JARED
10:10 Absolute beauty. And of course it burned.
i absolutely love your work all of it
Wow thanks for sharing these beautiful photo? Like in the whole world !! Maybe from Tartaria ?? The Old World ( 1000 year Reign of Christ ? ) ❤❤
I have long noticed that these early pictures always show people who are extremely overdressed, with hats on and even umbrellas. If you look at the buildings they live in and/or operate businesses in the windows are ALWAYS covered by big low-hanging awnings, and even beach scenes are women and men FULLY DRESSED like they are on their way to church.
Someone on another channel once said these are the people who lived inside/under the earth and at some point came to the surface and are not used to the sun, so they have to remain covered up.
Would this explain the skin cancers/lesions and avoidance of the outdoors?... They are not made to dwell outdoors/on the surface?
Agree survive reset /inheritors/maybe even incubate her babies grown up
In those days most people could not afford to avoid the sun because they were working outside all day. An untanned skin was a status symbol: you could afford to stay inside. And bathing suits at the time covered nearly the whole body because of societal norms. Of course it is true that avoiding the sun and skin burns reduces the risk of skin cancer.
In my opinion, the reason why they had umbrellas, and they acted like they had never seen water when you see them on a beach, fully dressed in the water, is because they were underground during a reset we don’t know how long they were underground if they were born underground, and so they had never seen the surface when they were given their titles their uniforms. And when they came back up, if they didn’t conform and except the new normal, the new reset and resisting, they were put in insane asylums. If you’re underground and you hadn’t seen the sun for a long period of time and you came back up pretty sure you have a hard time adjusting to sun exposure especially if you were born underground and spent let’s say 101-5 years. Could only imagine. Anything is possible and nothings new under the sun everyone that’s anyone in the club is underground and they’re clone robots or CGI make it look like they’re still on the surface.
@@JamieCrain5349 you need to see a psychiatrist quickly.
Wow
All these beautiful pictures of the Paleis voor Volksvlijt really make my heart sink.
Again a great selection of photos. I've been in the building industry for 38 years. Whoever designed, planned , earthworks and the list goes on. These people were at the top of their game. There is nothing there that is just simple.its almost like someone saying " bet you can't do this and build it" and someone saying "hold my beer"
Small correction. The are nice pictures, and many of the buildings in the pictures are indeed from the Golden Age of Amsterdam (the 17th century), but they where taken in the 19th century, which is normally not regarded as "the golden age" of Amsterdam
Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
It’s my city, I’m just baffled by the amount of buildings that I pass by daily that are still there🤓
All the old buildings of today were already there! 🙂
Those buildings were exquisite works of art. Today buildings are hideous and sterile monstrosities.
I live in Amsterdam now for 22 years, and it still happens to me that, while walking by the street, I have to stop, watch, and say "Gee! What an absolutely beautiful city this is!"
And this collection video catches it very well. It is very touching to see pics of old Amsterdam, and very charming to notice how the city - despite evolving - has maintained its depth of essence and character throughout the centuries.
Jarid & co, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and effort to put this together, all the pics, the music (couldn't be better!)... man, what a huge task!
Thank you, brother!
Blessings 🙌
Mooie verzameling bijeen gehaald van de Beeldbank Amsterdam.
Een aantal foto's zijn van latere datum.
De eerste elektrische tram in Amsterdam reed pas in augustus 1900.
the 'Paleis voor Volksvlijt' (palace for the people's industriousness) was an exibition and leisure centre built of cast iron and glass. constructed between 1859 and 1864, it was destroyed by fire in 1929. Its dome reached a height of 65 meters.
0:40, that group of men is not a photo, but instead a pieced together pasteup of heads from different photos. One of the heads on the left even appears to be painted in. I find this a common occurrence in photos near or before the turn of the century.
Jarid , what an amazing effort, however the minimal of crediting the collection where you found the photos , the photographer when know, the approximate date, and what the central landmark is, you only did a polite coffee table collection. One would almost think you collected the images off the internet and put them in a video. Maybe you have notes and can add more information later and put the photos in date order (seems it would be easy to make one video like this one and one of a more scholarly nature) . I would guess you also edit the comments as I cannot be the only one that would like to see a more meaningful collection....Robert
It's just an observation but the architecture here does not look like it was buried.
The one place people had excellent control of water/floods.
Beautiful architecture.
They inherited, like everyone else. Didn’t know how to maintain it.
If you didn't know, they have steep steps, so those boards sticking out, the hooks ontop of buildings are for cranes to hoist stuff up floors.
Thank you 😊
I'm just getting started, I know I'm going to like it!
at 17:31 - there's a row of houses that looked like they received canon fire, yet down in the street there's a crowd of people just lingering around.
BEAUTIFUL!🥹We want more!?
When you look closey at the top facade on many of the buildings I see what appears tobe a rope hoist.
Yes .The canal houses were narrow with very steep stairs .The only way to get furniture up was by winch .
Also the top of these houses lean a bit forward to hoist the furniture without damage.
The Roman (older) style of buildings, seem to be bricked up in many photos. Like the giant temple at 1:21:45, looks like an ancient artifact beamed over from Rome. And despite showing 1845 on the capital, it seems to be completely abandoned and closed to the public. It must have been brand new when the photo was taken. Also building on level ground was not important for the architect it seems.. wink wink.
It was the stock exchange. It was built in 1845, but demolished in 1903. It was way too small and the location was problematic too. So in 1884, the city started a competition for architects for designing a new building. Berlage won the competition and was hired to build the 'Beurs (stock market) van Berlage, an iconic landmark building, just around the corner. He is one of the best and most famous architects of the Netherlands.
Respect for the documentary. What i like the most is that there are no cars
Thanks for the pictures. I think that Amsterdam is mostly “no old world” buildings. Most medieval Dutch or Belgium cities hardly have medieval buildings, which is strange. The existing medieval buildings are churches, and so on. Medieval houses have often 2 by 2 pair of small windows. The top of the window is round and made of masonry. With some practice, they can be found. In general, 5, 6 or 7 stores high. So I guess most have been destroyed. Most large churches where also larger in medieval times.
As a Dutch man myself i have to say to everybody watching that the gemeente already has all these fotos and more.
