I love this this is so amazing. You guys are magical ⭐⭐. This looks so incredibly real and alive all at the same time. Such a beautiful work of art. It's unbelievable what in color can do. These people are all so beautiful and look still alive today. Amazing wonderful job 👍👍👍💯💯💯 well done.
Beautiful, dignified men and elegant women. And look where women's fashion is now. Toss a pair of leggings or yoga pants to any the these women and guess the response
I cannot explain the emotions that this brought over me. I began to tear up immediately. Knowing that these people are long gone...yet brought to life by someone years after their passing. They're being remembered in such a beautiful way. Seeing them fade in and out of life was haunting. This was absolutely powerful. Maybe I'm just in that mood today due to the weather but...I really felt impacted by this.
Had exactly the same thoughts and feelings just before seeing your comment. Made me think of , hopefully, many years from now when I will, to quote Billy Connolly, go for a wander and forget to come back, what will my future relations or others see and think when they see pictures of me when time has passed the same as it has from these people to us.
@@clutch1141 Back in those days all white people were monsters. There were no laws to prevent them from doing whatever whenever and however to Black and Brown people. Especially if they were White Christian Extremist.
@@MH-vw9ni Wrong. America is the only country in history to ever have a civil war to end slavery, which was fought almost entirely by white Christians and also cost more lives than all other American wars combined. Now back to the drawing board with you. You may also want to read some books and stop getting your world view from politicians and the entertainment industry. They're very bad for the mind.
@@clutch1141 Where do you think I got my info from those same history books white people want to now ban because they tell us about America ugly history that now want to disappear because the truth make the descendants of those White Christians who fought a war feel bad.
The moment when the colorized, brought-to-life version fades into the still, black-and-white original has a haunting quality to it, as if they've been sent back to a place where they exist only in memory.
I was completely surprised by how emotional this made me. It brought the mortality of humankind into stark focus. One moment we are living a full, vibrant life and in the blink of an eye we're a faded photograph that may one day be labeled "unidentified woman." So much life captured in so brief a moment. Thank for the work this must have taken and for the deep mindfulness this has no doubt created in many besides myself.
Life is actually short and sad. Woody Allen said a big reason why he stays busy making movies is because it’s a distraction to the fact that we’re all going to die
Hauntingly and poignantly beautiful. Made alive for a few brief moments as they gaze at us and then they recede into the distant past from whence they came. Life is so, SO short 😔
Hauntingly, yes it is and in fact a bit to much for me as I found it to be more than a bit "creepy"! That however is just me and my perception but I would be interested to know if others find it the same, I would bet the number of us in such a group would be small. This is in no way meant to be disparaging or derogatory and in fact I applaud the effort and thank the creators for bringing this out for everyone to see. Still I would be less than honest if I said I didn't find it to be "creepy" almost to the point of chills!
Indeed profound, and yet true and, I felt the same and thought the same as I viewed these iconic pictures on May 4th 2022. The person who write that statement must be an author or writer or sonething? Well written and heartfelt. Thanks for that. The upload truly amazing.👍🌹
Just a touching reminder that these people lived out their lives, had experiences, families, loves, heartbreaks, and hopefully some happiness as well. It is nice that we had a brief moment to see how they really might have been as living, breathing humans.
This really touched me and found myself crying through most of it which surprised me. Lovely to see their humanity come to life and the realization that they were fully inhabited and full of their human experience when this moment in time was captured.
Being a man,I was amazed at how breathtakingly beautiful the women were! I almost cried.I consider myself a better man for just witnessing this video. Thank you so much for making my life better!
completely crying from this video that randomly showed up in my feed. :/ Just the way they fade out into a memory is just how we will all end up and time is just so short. Made me incredibly melancholy and I'm deeply moved. Thank you though.
Such a lovely work! Thanks! Also for bringing back "to life" the doggie and for make all those portraits smile...I caught myself smiling them back....Magical...Bravo!👏♥️
Already as 6-years-old girl I did browse in the attic of my grandma. Old leather suitcases tempted me intensive. Photos, really old clothes, Hats, veils, gloves, handbags.. I couldn’t resist. With your video you made me feel like all the stuff is actually worn by those people on the pics. Magical!
I would be interested in what they would have to say. Both about their own times and their own contemporaries and about our present times and people. For example, I bet many of them would see how much simpler girls dress today, and as why women dress like men?
Man o man that was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE 👍🏼. There’s “something “ going on there . When the photos come slightly alive….one feels a wave 🌊 of compassion and love ,for the people . Strange feeling . There not fully people in the photo ? But alive they are regal and more . Is anyone else getting this vibe like me ? Really one of the more incredibly cool things I’ve ever seen out of millions. Thank you !
Yes, me too. Maybe because I'm an empath? However, not all was sweetness and light with them I'm sure...nor is it with anyone necessarily. Some may have had sickness, unhappiness, travail etc. That's human beingss.
Heart warming and bittersweet. I collect 1800s Union Cases, tintypes, daregotypes, as these show moments preserved that were special to someone at certain time. The beauty of bringing them back to life, lovely portraits that are over 100 years old, so they can be seen again in color is beyond what words can describe, the brief moment that they are in vibrant color and alive until they slowly go back to their silent sleep. Thank you.
I felt an instant pang of regret at never having met the extremely beautiful girl at 5:00, and a pang of sadness when she faded into black and white once again....and even greater sadness realizing she has been dead for probably 100 years. Very well done video. Thank you!
Quit saying pang. Thats not a word. But I understand too. After reading your comment I too found myself gazing at this beauty and wishing I could just kiss her
@@lancelotkillz I don't know where you learned English, but pang is definitely a word. Check your dictionary. Furthermore, I don't take orders from strangers on the internet, so I will continue to use the word "pang" whenever I want. Cheers!
As I watched each and every one of them, I was struck by the energy they exuded at the time their picture was originally taken. Some were just putting up with it, some so sad and had been through such hardship, some vibrant, determined, solid, and one young woman even had an aura around her. Each one came so alive, and even though they left the physical world some time ago, we are all one, we are all family, I felt so much love for every one of them = the dog included. What blessed work you are doing, Mystery Scoop. Thank you.
It really brings the subjects to life and gives them an element of contemporaneousnes, almost as though one could imagine them walking alongside us in mall or down a bustling sidewalk. The first Lady was beautiful.
For some reason iam crying ...... When they go color like they live once more for a few second like they once were at the time they tooke these pictures . When they slowly go back to steel and black and white there is somthing peaceful and sad ... I wished when i was younger if i could go back for one day to my childhood just for one day and i could be with my grandpatrents and how happy that would make me i thought .. But from midday on i would cry my eyes out becouse that day will end . What we have is memories and will keep them in the safest place whre they still a live or they just rest in eternal peace . Thank you for this wonderful video !
I've seen these before, but for whatever reason - the photos used here really show just how stunning people looked so many years ago. Coloration brings that life back and does these people so much justice. It is a solid reminder that all these people were real living beings with their own stories to tell, just like we all are now. I can only hope all of these people shown here had the journey they were hoping for and more.
Stunningly beautiful. These people, our wonderful ancestors, have not been forgotten. They look as if they could be our neighbors and coworkers . . . as if they could reach out from their 2-dimensional renderings to communicate with us.
The woman at 6:47 is Frances Virginia Lee Harris; people called her “Fannie”. You can actually find other photos of her, including one of her in old age. She actually lived all the way up to 1971. Some of her grandchildren are all still alive today. Fannie, like all those of her generation that lived to see old age, had the unique privilege of witnessing the quaint Victorian era pass into the modern age.
The sadness that I feel is that photography has not been around as long as humanity itself. Would it have amused Socrates, one wonders, to sit for a snapshot as he sat for a sculptor? Or Khufu of the Pyramid? Or a group portrait of Jacob with all twelve sons? How much remains irretrievable yet! Even so, what we still do have can be endlessly captivating. Bravo, sir. 📸 😁
I can't begin to imagine if any descendants have/will see these but I can sense the emotion of witnessing the awe/happiness/sadness of these precious moments so few appreciate. Wonderful to watch and so touching that whilst gone never be forgotten.😀👍
Positively mesmerizing. I can't think of another way to put it...wonderful, bittersweet, hauntingly beautiful....no way to describe it. I know not one of those individuals yet my heart doeth break for them as they scroll across my screen. Thank you for your wonderful work and sharing. Thank you.
I found this very interesting and rather moving to watch. Sitting for a photograph portrait in the 19th century required the sitter to be statue-still for several seconds, which gives portraits a rather rigid appearance. The blinking, little smile or slight lilt of the head that you’ve added made me imagine that the photographer had said “and relax…”. I also liked the way you had the portraits fade back into black and white as they left the screen. It felt as though these dusty, forgotten pictures momentarily had life breathed back into them before disappearing once more into anonymous obscurity. It was interesting to see these young, beautiful people. It would also be interesting to see early photographs of old people- veteran portraits of soldiers from the Crimean War, American War of Independence or Waterloo, for example. To see people born in the 18th century in this new light would be amazing.
Absolutely beautiful, you can't help but to wonder who these people were, where they lived, what became of them and when did they die? So much mystery and beauty that is captured forever.
Thanks for displaying this picture of a young Johannes Brahms, that seems so alive, great job congrats. He is one of my favourite composers and musicians.
These portraits are hauntingly beautiful, I only found your channel today, I was interested in the Historical figure’s…..’Marie Antoinette’ and made my comment! It’s very touching to think these portraits are of someone’s ancestors who can now see them for a fleeting moment as they were, living breathing human beings, that’s incredible, I was waiting with bated breath for the Victorian gentleman’s wee dog to blink! and he obliged 😊 this is truly the work of some Genius, or, Geniuses! Well done 👏 👏
Watching all these beautiful souls brought back to life so lovingly, brought me to tears and stirred up so many emotions. Please keep up this fine work. You honour the wondrous diversity of humanity and their fleeting yet important lives upon our planet. Your art is wonderful and uplifting, thank you! PS. I have subscribed.
whenever I look at a photo as old as these, it seems the subjects are too. Thanks to this work I can perceive how much younger they really were at the time of the photo shoot. James Stark at 2:15 and Frances Virginia Lee Harris at 6:45 are of unique charm and beauty.
Amazing work, and also very touching. They come back to life for a while, and then fade back to memory. I often think about people in very old photos - what did they do right after the shot, what was their life 10 years later, how long did they live?... And I often wonder what they would think if they knew their form has been preserved for eternity. Your work adds an extra level to this: their form is not only preserved, but comes back to life for short moment.
Quite a fascinating portrait gallery; styles change, people don't. i feel that the faint smiles really make the faces come alive, even more so than the eye movements. Together though, they are stunning. Thank you.
These are so incredibly moving for me to watch, to feel and experience. Like all of a sudden I'm in the room with them, wanting to start a conversation. Your series, this and the prior ones, is a wonderful gift to us. Thank you so much.
Remarkable you see these photos of them and they look like just not attractive but when you really bring them alive, you can see the beauty of all of them how they really looked amazing it gave me something to think about on these old folks photographs. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work! I would enjoy seeing some of the US Civil War soldiers brought to life, particularly those who we know were killed in battle. A more fitting tribute to them, I can't imagine.
I can't fully describe the feeling I consistently had upon seeing the portrait return from the colorized animation to the original black and white. It's as if the person in the portrait said goodbye in a gentle manner and permanently and returned to their time in the past.
Until now around 20 billion to 50 billion people have passed through the earth and in a mere one hundred years it may reach as m any as one 100 billions and everyone has a face and a story....
I don't know why, but I was brought to tears while watching this as if for a moment we observed exactly what the photographer did as they looked through the viewport on that day so many decades ago. These were real people who meant something to someone at some time. Even if we don't know them, and we don't know what type of person they were, we briefly were given the honor of standing in on this moment in their lives, and just for a few seconds, they mattered again to somebody. I wonder how much their spirits rejoice in you showing how they once lived. This is one of the most beautiful and honorable creations I've ever seen. Thank you and God bless!
It's such a touching thing to watch. As you witness the essence of life entering and then quickly exiting the beautiful faces of these long since departed fellow humans, it's kind of a bittersweet metaphor (and reminder) of just how fleeting life is for us here on earth.
All of those lovely people, who once existed with their hopes, dreams and lives to be lived. Long gone. How I would love to be able to talk to them. Many thanks for this, it is beautiful.
yea ... makes u feel like ur apart of something Universally large ... yet so small too... imagine us all long gone for hundreds of thousands of years... and an advanced race comes upon us ... how these seemingly innocent people chose to destroy themselves in the most violent means unimaginable and each one of us is apart of that and will someday soon join these images and be just a long lost mysterious face.... adding the blinks and subtle facial changes just makes it all that much more real and alive but again
I actually got a bit emotional viewing these. I thought, "What if one of these was my own relative?" It would be a kapow moment. I loved this. Thank you for sharing.
Scott, I’ve even thought about the possibility of one of these people being myself in a past incarnation, that is of course if you believe in reincarnation as I do.
@@catsnpeacocks .... No, either they were or they were not. If something like reincarnation is real or not does not depend on if people _believe in it._ 😒
It was quite moving, looking at all these faces from long ago. These were real people, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. It was quite moving to see them come alive for a few seconds and then freeze back into the past, that one moment in time that is captured for us to view.
@@catsnpeacocks I do, too. And when they come into view, I talk to them (in my mind). I tell them I think they were beautiful in these photos. and hope they had a good and happy life during that time. Then I tell them I hope they are also finding a good life now. I am always so touched by them.
When I was a little kid, I met my great-grandmother. She was born just before 1900 and thus still in the Victorian era. I find it absolutely mind-boggling how much technology, culture, and even political maps have changed since she was a little kid herself... It goes to show that these portraits are not that far back in the grander scheme of things. Just imagine she met as a little girl a fossil of a relative and he would have still been of the Napoleonic era. Thus, she could have relayed things from the Napoleonic era directly to me. That's really crazy to think about. When I see those photos, I wonder what they would have told me, if I could have spoken to them. Even the life of my grandfather (WWII-veteran) was so far removed from my own life that he might have come from a different continent.
Beautiful, yet heart breaking. It is showing us how fragile life really is. We're just a twinkle away from a memory. This was deeply moving. Thank you!
@@Enki35Productions I didn't say the death of loved ones wasnt hard to deal with. I thought you spoke about the people in the video and that their deaths made you sad I misunderstood what you said i guess .
This has to be one of the most moving and haunting videos I have ever seen. These people, for a few fleeting seconds have come back to life, before they return to their faded photo. Pure magic, thank you.
For just a few brief seconds, it was possible to feel their presence and a sense of communication with a generation who were our great, great grandparents, but who we never knew. I found the experience quite moving and thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing your labour of love!
This is incredibly powerful. As they fade back to the original you are hit by a deep sense of who they are being frozen back in time. Like for a moment they came back to life and you got to meet them. Then a sadness as you watch them return to death. Powerful and sad.
Seeing these people move, blink, and even give a little smile really touched my heart. They were more than just photos, they were real people, with families and friends. At least for a moment here, we can see that and remember them.
So Beautiful and heart breaking. To see them in color and brought to life, it made them real. As soon as the pictures went back to black and white it was so sad because they seem to fade away like no one cared.
I just wonder what it could be the future of these persons and some other millions of humans from past times that already sleep on death. We will meet again? John 5:28,29.
Fun fact: the picture at 7:50 is historically significant. Robert Cornelius took the picture himself in 1839 - thereby creating what is widely regarded as the world's first-ever selfie.
@@TheNoiseySpectator Due to the technology of the time, I believe he did it by starting off the exposure, running round to the front of the camera and posing for it, then he ran back round again to stop it. This was back when photographic plates took a few minutes to expose. I see that the video description lists the names of the subjects, but this particular picture just had that extra interesting fact about it. I only learned it recently when I saw something about it on TV.
@Bullseye Not according to Wikipedia, but there are a lot of firsts here (earliest known photographic portrait of a human taken in the United States, for example). I didn't realise until now that the photographic plate was his invention.
I'm an extremely empathetic person and facial/body expression plays an important part on how a perceive others and the truths their lives hold. This video was so over powering with emotions I began sobbing. It was as someone had woken each person for just a small fraction of time to reveal the life they lived with just one expression. I saw happiness, hurt , pain, lies, determination, disappointment, joy every face showed for a moment the truth of each life. It was almost too much for me to witness but I could not stop watching and I could not stop crying. It was actually the beautiful pain of living of our truths even for just a moment.
I was not expecting to be brought to tears by a random click on a TH-cam video. Seeing these folks 'brought back to life' for a moment was breathtaking. And to think, none of these people had even the slightest idea that such a thing would be happening to them so very far into the future as they were sitting there posing for their portraits. We tend to think of people from the distant past almost like a different species when in reality, they were the same as us; they worried about money, got butterflies over love and cried over loss. As a middle aged man with no children or family left, I figure that my many photos albums will probably just wind up in a landfill some day. But I hope that at least some images of me survive and are perhaps able to be 'brought back to life' for a brief moment in centuries to come, should humanity even survive that long. *And may I add that the little dog at 6:00 really overwhelmed me with emotion. I know a very special small dog who could very well be that dog's great x12 grandson. The way people live and the technology they use may change over time but even in ancient times, dogs have always just been dogs - pure, innocent and loving. If you have the means in your life, then please adopt (don't shop) a dog from a shelter. In doing so, you will instantly become the best human being on Earth in someone's eyes. 🐕
I don't think I have ever seen a video on TH-cam which has made me feel so many emotions. At first, the images coming to life piqued my curiosity and then quality of the restorations had me in awe. Then I began to wonder how you decided to portray the details of the portraits (i.e. hair color, skin tone, eye color, ect.). After a few few minutes of these musings, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I was missing the whole point of what you have done. As each portrait "came to life", I felt as though each PERSON in the photographs was reaching out 170 years into the future and saying "I was here...the same as you". As each of them faded back into their still image , I couldn't help but feel extremely sad about the lives that have passed before us and my own mortality.
This was exactly my emotion. The realization that they’ve been dead for 100 years hits hard. It’s almost like looking at a live person who got sent back in time. I feel like I fell in love with some of these people
This is one of the reasons why we have to take care of our planet and the future of humanity. The individual passes for the whole to continue. We are them and basically we felt what they felt. See that many of us felt exactly what you described, including me. So in a way I am one with you and you are one with me, as we are one with all of us, uniting the past, the present and, if any, the future.
My friend, the fear of death is something we all have, do you know what death actually is? Its wages, wages for our sins, you see we've all sinned against a rightoues God, and deserve punishment, but because God loved us so much He sent His Son to die instead and if you will believe in who Jesus is and what He did for you, and turn your heart away from sin and towards God (repent) you will be saved
My favorite was Johannes Brahms, who was a major influence on my composing and orchestrating style. It was like I was actually seeing this past master alive, and looking into his eyes! Now if only I could have shared conversation with him, and a few cold beers....sigh.... Peace! 🎼❤☮
I was a costume designer for a costume shop in Chico, CA and one day a young man walked in to see if I could make a Confederate uniform for him. He said he had collected the buttons and medals at re-enactment events and online. When he pulled out the photo to show me, I was speechless. The young man in the old photo looked like he could be this man’s twin! I worked with a tailor researching fabrics and techniques to create the most exact replica for him. I still remember him to this day.
I've watched this several times. Weird to say this, but when they go back to their original image it feels like you watch them pass on again. You are so happy to see them gain life that losing it again hurts.
there's something genuinely wrong with you. the animation is the soulless part. check the skin tone... it's always too flat, and in several instances color wasn't even added, or with the last guy everything was just washed out in blue. then there's the constant blinking and disturbing attempts at simulating head movement. and every single one of them has blue eyes... even the black people. seeing them fade back to the original should be a relief, because the animations are disturbing if you look closely.
The first woman is absolutely beautiful. It’s amazing what you have done here. People, long forgotten, brought back to life for just enough time for me to feel engaged by their presence as if I knew them somehow, but no, they are 173 year old photos. Photos of people who’s memory is forgotten because everybody who knew and loved them is also long gone. This will be you and me one day, forgotten because everybody who loves us will also be long gone and forgotten. This kinda makes me want to enjoy my time here that little bit more. Our lives are literally a blip. The people in these photos had feelings, emotions, good days, bad days, jobs, favourite meals, pet hates, friends and places they loved to visit. They probably thought about what the world would be like in the year 2000, yet here we are in 2023, looking at their forgotten faces. It’s breathtaking. I love portraits like these. Keep up the good work
This gives me a totally different picture of history. It helps me see that the biggest visible difference between the people of the past and the people I see today are the style of dress. It allows me to imagine people I know dressing exactly like this, as if they lived in that time, and that bridged the sea of difference I perceived between the people of the past and the present.
Absolutely, I felt exactly the same whilst I was watching it, history can feel like a fantasy some times but this really hits home that they were just us.
I think we tend to romanticise period pieces whether the early infancy of photography or some obscure, grainy video shot somewhere in a city. I think we tend to not realise people basically had one or two outfits, sanitary habits and clearly medical advances weren’t prevalent as today. Horse drawn carriages and streetcars for transportation and no air travel, telephones, or cell phones, and pre-automobile age.
Thank you so much, you really make these people more human even with small touches that I am sure take so much work. It makes me feel a bit meloncholy seeing them so real knowing they are long gone. However, it also makes me happy to know you are showing they are not forgotten. So fantastic, keep up the good work.
Profound to say the least. I wondered how these people lived out their lives, long life, short, who knows but just for a few seconds we saw them live again before gently fading back into history. You did a magnificent job there sir! More, more, more if you please.
I keep thinking here... how the past hurts! Just knowing that there were people like us, lives, cultures, moments. Everything has become like a memory, everything passes and never comes back. 😔 Very beautiful! I loved this video!

Magnificent and evocative, as I watch and seen the past come alive how exquisitely haunting it felt.
Amazing!!

I cannot explain the emotions that this brought over me. I began to tear up immediately. Knowing that these people are long gone...yet brought to life by someone years after their passing. They're being remembered in such a beautiful way. Seeing them fade in and out of life was haunting. This was absolutely powerful. Maybe I'm just in that mood today due to the weather but...I really felt impacted by this.
Well said - I felt the exact same way.
Me, too. I couldn't have said it better.
It is frightening, astonishing, breathtaking, stunnign....all at once.... to see the faces actually come alive.
Had exactly the same thoughts and feelings just before seeing your comment. Made me think of , hopefully, many years from now when I will, to quote Billy Connolly, go for a wander and forget to come back, what will my future relations or others see and think when they see pictures of me when time has passed the same as it has from these people to us.
They were us as one day we shall be them
Such handsome people, beautifully brought back to life, as though their souls returned to this world for a fleeting moment. So well done.

Perfectly described!
Yeah. That's what I wanted to say!
Well worded description!
Wonderfully expressed!
❤❤❤❤ Well stated
I was completely surprised by how emotional this made me. It brought the mortality of humankind into stark focus. One moment we are living a full, vibrant life and in the blink of an eye we're a faded photograph that may one day be labeled "unidentified woman." So much life captured in so brief a moment. Thank for the work this must have taken and for the deep mindfulness this has no doubt created in many besides myself.
Very well said.
Life is actually short and sad. Woody Allen said a big reason why he stays busy making movies is because it’s a distraction to the fact that we’re all going to die
Hauntingly and poignantly beautiful. Made alive for a few brief moments as they gaze at us and then they recede into the distant past from whence they came. Life is so, SO short 😔
A very profound statement indeed! 👍
Hauntingly, yes it is and in fact a bit to much for me as I found it to be more than a bit "creepy"! That however is just me and my perception but I would be interested to know if others find it the same, I would bet the number of us in such a group would be small. This is in no way meant to be disparaging or derogatory and in fact I applaud the effort and thank the creators for bringing this out for everyone to see.

Thanks for that.
The upload truly amazing.👍🌹
Just a touching reminder that these people lived out their lives, had experiences, families, loves, heartbreaks, and hopefully some happiness as well. It is nice that we had a brief moment to see how they really might have been as living, breathing humans.
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
This really touched me and found myself crying through most of it which surprised me. Lovely to see their humanity come to life and the realization that they were fully inhabited and full of their human experience when this moment in time was captured.
Hi 👋how are you doing?
Once these portraits are colorized and brought to life it shows how much more attractive they really were.
Especially the men
It’s amazing how familiar they look when colorised and animated.
Amazing how you've brought these people back to life! Some of the ladies were breathtakingly gorgeous!
The men, too❗
@@dianetheisen8664 I was looking for this comment. There's some real lookers in this bunch.
@@wareforcoin5780 Indeed‼️
Yes, indeed!
Being a man,I was amazed at how breathtakingly beautiful the women were! I almost cried.I consider myself a better man for just witnessing this video. Thank you so much for making my life better!
The cover woman was a stunner!
People forget in those times there was no McDonalds, Dominos, Starbucks etc...people still ate the natural human diet.
I was thinking the same thing! More than a few of them caught my eye. Time to build that time machine...
The men; can't forget the men❗ They were gorgeous, too.
These people lived lives of joy and heartache. Their eyes say so much. Wonderful tribute. ❤️
completely crying from this video that randomly showed up in my feed. :/ Just the way they fade out into a memory is just how we will all end up and time is just so short. Made me incredibly melancholy and I'm deeply moved. Thank you though.
Such a lovely work! Thanks! Also for bringing back "to life" the doggie and for make all those portraits smile...I caught myself smiling them back....Magical...Bravo!👏♥️
I love ❤ that little dog 🐕.
Already as 6-years-old girl I did browse in the attic of my grandma. Old leather suitcases tempted me intensive. Photos, really old clothes, Hats, veils, gloves, handbags.. I couldn’t resist. With your video you made me feel like all the stuff is actually worn by those people on the pics. Magical!
Imagine if these people were able to step into our time, the shock of just the clothing changes alone nevermind manners, speech, and societal roles!
I would be interested in what they would have to say.
Both about their own times and their own contemporaries and about our present times and people.
For example, I bet many of them would see how much simpler girls dress today, and as why women dress like men?
@@TheNoiseySpectator Agreed! I was just thinking, what if I had to dress up like those girls every morning? It would take an hour!
@@user-rx4jg8lq7h and their clothing is tailored and high quality. They look healthy- no crud in their food!
You would have to explain to them why everyone is staring at something in their hands or speaks to themselves
"I say, why would anyone want to put their Face in a Book?"
Man o man that was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE 👍🏼. There’s “something “ going on there . When the photos come slightly alive….one feels a wave 🌊 of compassion and love ,for the people . Strange feeling . There not fully people in the photo ? But alive they are regal and more . Is anyone else getting this vibe like me ? Really one of the more incredibly cool things I’ve ever seen out of millions. Thank you !
Yes, me too. Maybe because I'm an empath? However, not all was sweetness and light with them I'm sure...nor is it with anyone necessarily. Some may have had sickness, unhappiness, travail etc. That's human beingss.
You took the words right out of my mouth.Exactly what I was feeling while watching this incredible clip.
@@kennethlapointesongwriter3330 But that's life. Happens in every generation.
Heart warming and bittersweet. I collect 1800s Union Cases, tintypes, daregotypes, as these show moments preserved that were special to someone at certain time. The beauty of bringing them back to life, lovely portraits that are over 100 years old, so they can be seen again in color is beyond what words can describe, the brief moment that they are in vibrant color and alive until they slowly go back to their silent sleep.
Thank you.
I felt an instant pang of regret at never having met the extremely beautiful girl at 5:00, and a pang of sadness when she faded into black and white once again....and even greater sadness realizing she has been dead for probably 100 years. Very well done video. Thank you!
Regret of what
@@honorthyparents8510 Maybe he wished he coud have met that girl in another life or at present.
But these beauties keep coming back again and again through the centuries.
Quit saying pang. Thats not a word. But I understand too. After reading your comment I too found myself gazing at this beauty and wishing I could just kiss her
@@lancelotkillz I don't know where you learned English, but pang is definitely a word. Check your dictionary. Furthermore, I don't take orders from strangers on the internet, so I will continue to use the word "pang" whenever I want. Cheers!
Uncanny, amazing and simply remarkable. Such a soul stirring experience to watch. Thanks to all involved.
We get a glinch of what life was like back then . This is haughtily beautiful. It amazes me what technology can do . Thank you for sharing this .
Glad you enjoyed it
It is hauntingly beautiful to watch them come to life, greet you and then fade away back into the past. I really enjoyed this video.
As I watched each and every one of them, I was struck by the energy they exuded at the time their picture was originally taken. Some were just putting up with it, some so sad and had been through such hardship, some vibrant, determined, solid, and one young woman even had an aura around her. Each one came so alive, and even though they left the physical world some time ago, we are all one, we are all family, I felt so much love for every one of them = the dog included. What blessed work you are doing, Mystery Scoop. Thank you.
It really brings the subjects to life and gives them an element of contemporaneousnes, almost as though one could imagine them walking alongside us in mall or down a bustling sidewalk. The first Lady was beautiful.
For some reason iam crying ......
When they go color like they live once more for a few second like they once were at the time they tooke these pictures .
When they slowly go back to steel and black and white there is somthing peaceful and sad ...
I wished when i was younger if i could go back for one day to my childhood just for one day and i could be with my grandpatrents and how happy that would make me i thought ..
But from midday on i would cry my eyes out becouse that day will end .
What we have is memories and will keep them in the safest place whre they still a live or they just rest in eternal peace .
Thank you for this wonderful video !
I've seen these before, but for whatever reason - the photos used here really show just how stunning people looked so many years ago. Coloration brings that life back and does these people so much justice.
It is a solid reminder that all these people were real living beings with their own stories to tell, just like we all are now. I can only hope all of these people shown here had the journey they were hoping for and more.
🙏
The first two are very handsome couple, like models. Amazing. May God bless their souls 💜
Are you kidding me! THAT WAS FABULOUS!!!! I so want to get that done to my old family photos now.
INCREDIBLE!!!. I thought people used to be not very cute, but it turns out they look just as cute.
profound dude. speechless. the first lady is stunning. great work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Stunningly beautiful. These people, our wonderful ancestors, have not been forgotten. They look as if they could be our neighbors and coworkers . . . as if they could reach out from their 2-dimensional renderings to communicate with us.
The woman at 6:47 is Frances Virginia Lee Harris; people called her “Fannie”. You can actually find other photos of her, including one of her in old age. She actually lived all the way up to 1971. Some of her grandchildren are all still alive today.
Fannie, like all those of her generation that lived to see old age, had the unique privilege of witnessing the quaint Victorian era pass into the modern age.
Thanks. She was beautiful.
What a beauty.
When these pictures come alive, it seems like they were taken yesterday , an amazing sight
I found myself smiling back at them. What an incredible art form this is, thank you so much for sharing this ❤️🕊
You revived these people from the past, made them live again, amazing
The sadness that I feel is that photography has not been around as long as humanity itself. Would it have amused Socrates, one wonders, to sit for a snapshot as he sat for a sculptor? Or Khufu of the Pyramid? Or a group portrait of Jacob with all twelve sons? How much remains irretrievable yet!
Even so, what we still do have can be endlessly captivating. Bravo, sir. 📸 😁
Vor meinem inneren Auge wurden die alten Fotos, die ich von meiner Familie habe auch "lebendig". Interessante Arbeit, danke.
I can't begin to imagine if any descendants have/will see these but I can sense the emotion of witnessing the awe/happiness/sadness of these precious moments so few appreciate. Wonderful to watch and so touching that whilst gone never be forgotten.😀👍
Positively mesmerizing. I can't think of another way to put it...wonderful, bittersweet, hauntingly beautiful....no way to describe it. I know not one of those individuals yet my heart doeth break for them as they scroll across my screen.
Thank you for your wonderful work and sharing. Thank you.
Very realistic face recreation. Since you asked for feedback, would be great if all the hair got animated, including the curls on the sides.
These slides are like a factory of empathy given the micro nostalgy, love, and sorrow you feel with each photograph. Back to life, back to gone. 😔
So beautiful. I love the clothes and hair, each person seems to look directly at me and i wonder about each of their lives.
I found this very interesting and rather moving to watch. Sitting for a photograph portrait in the 19th century required the sitter to be statue-still for several seconds, which gives portraits a rather rigid appearance. The blinking, little smile or slight lilt of the head that you’ve added made me imagine that the photographer had said “and relax…”. I also liked the way you had the portraits fade back into black and white as they left the screen. It felt as though these dusty, forgotten pictures momentarily had life breathed back into them before disappearing once more into anonymous obscurity. It was interesting to see these young, beautiful people. It would also be interesting to see early photographs of old people- veteran portraits of soldiers from the Crimean War, American War of Independence or Waterloo, for example. To see people born in the 18th century in this new light would be amazing.
the first woman/girl in the footage is incredible beautiful 😃😍!!
You brought them back to life...if only for a few seconds...bittersweet!!! Well done 👏🏼✔👍🏼
The first lady..........what a beauty!!
Thank you, I enjoyed it very much. You should create a film that teaches us how to do that with our own old pictures.
Absolutely beautiful, you can't help but to wonder who these people were, where they lived, what became of them and when did they die? So much mystery and beauty that is captured forever.
The time machine……Fantastic work.
Thanks for displaying this picture of a young Johannes Brahms, that seems so alive, great job congrats. He is one of my favourite composers and musicians.
PHOTO NOW YOUVE ADDED THE COLOUR AND CLEARED THE IMAGE AND USED SI TO BRING HER TO LIFE WHAT A STUNNING IMAGEV ITS MADE LOVE IT❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us how 19th century people were. I thank you with all my heart!
These portraits are hauntingly beautiful, I only found your channel today, I was interested in the Historical figure’s…..’Marie Antoinette’ and made my comment! It’s very touching to think these portraits are of someone’s ancestors who can now see them for a fleeting moment as they were, living breathing human beings, that’s incredible, I was waiting with bated breath for the Victorian gentleman’s wee dog to blink! and he obliged 😊 this is truly the work of some Genius, or, Geniuses! Well done 👏 👏
Hello how’re you doing?
Excellent, most enjoyable, great presentation, thank you !
Many thanks!
Very clever, bringing them to life, Hauntingly beautiful ...BUT CREEPY.!!..🇬🇧
So beautifully done. Thank you!
Watching all these beautiful souls brought back to life so lovingly, brought me to tears and stirred up so many emotions. Please keep up this fine work. You honour the wondrous diversity of humanity and their fleeting yet important lives upon our planet. Your art is wonderful and uplifting, thank you! PS. I have subscribed.
whenever I look at a photo as old as these, it seems the subjects are too. Thanks to this work I can perceive how much younger they really were at the time of the photo shoot.
James Stark at 2:15 and Frances Virginia Lee Harris at 6:45 are of unique charm and beauty.
Absolutely awesome. It's like bringing them back to life, if just for a few seconds
Amazing work, and also very touching. They come back to life for a while, and then fade back to memory. I often think about people in very old photos - what did they do right after the shot, what was their life 10 years later, how long did they live?... And I often wonder what they would think if they knew their form has been preserved for eternity. Your work adds an extra level to this: their form is not only preserved, but comes back to life for short moment.
They all have such friendly faces. Put them in modern day clothes you could take them to a restaurant for some good food and talk.
Quite a fascinating portrait gallery; styles change, people don't. i feel that the faint smiles really make the faces come alive, even more so than the eye movements. Together though, they are stunning. Thank you.
Phenomenal....What an amazing job, it really highlights there emotion in the moment...
It's a amazing how you give them life
Боже мой,какие потрясающе красивые люди!!!И лица вполне современные,кажется,ты только что встречал их на улице...Потрясающе!!!
These are so incredibly moving for me to watch, to feel and experience. Like all of a sudden I'm in the room with them, wanting to start a conversation.
Your series, this and the prior ones, is a wonderful gift to us. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.... It's magic, extraordinardy !!
These before & afters transported me right back in time. Thanks for sharing - now I want to see how far kahma io can take my passport photo!
Wow,would love to see this with Abraham Lincoln! Fantastic job 🤩
Remarkable you see these photos of them and they look like just not attractive but when you really bring them alive, you can see the beauty of all of them how they really looked amazing it gave me something to think about on these old folks photographs. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning work well done!
Beautiful work! I would enjoy seeing some of the US Civil War soldiers brought to life, particularly those who we know were killed in battle. A more fitting tribute to them, I can't imagine.
The moment You realize that dagerotypes from 1850's had better quality, than photos in 1950's
I can't fully describe the feeling I consistently had upon seeing the portrait return from the colorized animation to the original black and white. It's as if the person in the portrait said goodbye in a gentle manner and permanently and returned to their time in the past.
That is so beautifully put, exactly how I felt. ❤
Until now around 20 billion to 50 billion people have passed through the earth and in a mere one hundred years it may reach as m any as one 100 billions and everyone has a face and a story....
I don't know why, but I was brought to tears while watching this as if for a moment we observed exactly what the photographer did as they looked through the viewport on that day so many decades ago. These were real people who meant something to someone at some time. Even if we don't know them, and we don't know what type of person they were, we briefly were given the honor of standing in on this moment in their lives, and just for a few seconds, they mattered again to somebody. I wonder how much their spirits rejoice in you showing how they once lived. This is one of the most beautiful and honorable creations I've ever seen. Thank you and God bless!
I felt the same! My heart could feel the "humanity" of these forgotten lives. Very moving!
Real people who lived before us. Everyone cries. Such a great work.
Brought tears to my eyes as well. They became alive again!
That is why genealogy is so important. It brings us together, connects us to the past. Finding out stories that match the pictures are even better!
Imagine all the people through time, looking at you the way they were at the height of their youth and beauty.
It's such a touching thing to watch. As you witness the essence of life entering and then quickly exiting the beautiful faces of these long since departed fellow humans, it's kind of a bittersweet metaphor (and reminder) of just how fleeting life is for us here on earth.
So well stated! Eloquent indeed ❤👍
I was thinking something so similar. Life is short and precious.
Well said, my thoughts exactly.
All of those lovely people, who once existed with their hopes, dreams and lives to be lived. Long gone. How I would love to be able to talk to them. Many thanks for this, it is beautiful.
yea ... makes u feel like ur apart of something Universally large ... yet so small too... imagine us all long gone for hundreds of thousands of years... and an advanced race comes upon us ... how these seemingly innocent people chose to destroy themselves in the most violent means unimaginable and each one of us is apart of that and will someday soon join these images and be just a long lost mysterious face.... adding the blinks and subtle facial changes just makes it all that much more real and alive but again
I actually got a bit emotional viewing these. I thought, "What if one of these was my own relative?" It would be a kapow moment. I loved this. Thank you for sharing.
Scott, I’ve even thought about the possibility of one of these people being myself in a past incarnation, that is of course if you believe in reincarnation as I do.
@@catsnpeacocks .... No, either they were or they were not.
If something like reincarnation is real or not does not depend on if people _believe in it._ 😒
It was quite moving, looking at all these faces from long ago. These were real people, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. It was quite moving to see them come alive for a few seconds and then freeze back into the past, that one moment in time that is captured for us to view.
@@catsnpeacocks I do, too. And when they come into view, I talk to them (in my mind). I tell them I think they were beautiful in these photos. and hope they had a good and happy life during that time. Then I tell them I hope they are also finding a good life now. I am always so touched by them.
When I was a little kid, I met my great-grandmother. She was born just before 1900 and thus still in the Victorian era. I find it absolutely mind-boggling how much technology, culture, and even political maps have changed since she was a little kid herself... It goes to show that these portraits are not that far back in the grander scheme of things. Just imagine she met as a little girl a fossil of a relative and he would have still been of the Napoleonic era. Thus, she could have relayed things from the Napoleonic era directly to me. That's really crazy to think about.
When I see those photos, I wonder what they would have told me, if I could have spoken to them. Even the life of my grandfather (WWII-veteran) was so far removed from my own life that he might have come from a different continent.
Beautiful, yet heart breaking. It is showing us how fragile life really is. We're just a twinkle away from a memory. This was deeply moving. Thank you!
not even a long lasting memory
Its not so bad really
@@dude9318 not until you lose someone you love.
@@Enki35Productions I didn't say the death of loved ones wasnt hard to deal with.
I thought you spoke about the people in the video and that their deaths made you sad
I misunderstood what you said i guess .
@@dude9318 These people are the deaths of loved ones.
This has to be one of the most moving and haunting videos I have ever seen. These people, for a few fleeting seconds have come back to life, before they return to their faded photo. Pure magic, thank you.
For just a few brief seconds, it was possible to feel their presence and a sense of communication with a generation who were our great, great grandparents, but who we never knew. I found the experience quite moving and thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing your labour of love!
No one mentions the little pup 😠
@@FriendlyCroockI noticed her/him......very cute dog! 😊❤❤
I have always loved old photos. This is so wonderful.
This is incredibly powerful. As they fade back to the original you are hit by a deep sense of who they are being frozen back in time. Like for a moment they came back to life and you got to meet them. Then a sadness as you watch them return to death. Powerful and sad.
BUT WHY ? Why is it so sad to watch ?? wtf, i'm litteraly crying
Exactly this feeling .it’s so difficult to watch their inner light dim once again
@@thetithe466 the death is sad bro, for everyone is sad, I feel bad too
So true...I cried...😪
@@thetithe466 ME too!!! 😪
Seeing these people move, blink, and even give a little smile really touched my heart. They were more than just photos, they were real people, with families and friends. At least for a moment here, we can see that and remember them.
cgi bs
So Beautiful and heart breaking. To see them in color and brought to life, it made them real. As soon as the pictures went back to black and white it was so sad because they seem to fade away like no one cared.
I just wonder what it could be the future of these persons and some other millions of humans from past times that already sleep on death. We will meet again? John 5:28,29.
Yes, so beautiful and moving
You just want to reach out to them to tell them they are remembered and loved still. So beautiful.
Absolutely stunning. I can't help but wonder who they are and what their lives were like.
I find this overwhelmingly sad and yet so moving. Thank you for bringing these long lost people back to life again.
I find too!
It might be interesting to do this to your old photos of past relatives.
why is sad? soon everyone will join them
@@moh5332 that's why is sad
Yes it is. The music is perfect for it and also contributes to the sadness.
Fun fact: the picture at 7:50 is historically significant. Robert Cornelius took the picture himself in 1839 - thereby creating what is widely regarded as the world's first-ever selfie.
I assume he used some kind of timer, since his arms were folded.
@@TheNoiseySpectator Due to the technology of the time, I believe he did it by starting off the exposure, running round to the front of the camera and posing for it, then he ran back round again to stop it. This was back when photographic plates took a few minutes to expose.
I see that the video description lists the names of the subjects, but this particular picture just had that extra interesting fact about it. I only learned it recently when I saw something about it on TV.
who knew he was such a cutie?
@Bullseye Not according to Wikipedia, but there are a lot of firsts here (earliest known photographic portrait of a human taken in the United States, for example). I didn't realise until now that the photographic plate was his invention.
@@Zeem4 !
So, Cornelius invented the photographic plate?!
I am impressed. 👍
I'm an extremely empathetic person and facial/body expression plays an important part on how a perceive others and the truths their lives hold. This video was so over powering with emotions I began sobbing. It was as someone had woken each person for just a small fraction of time to reveal the life they lived with just one expression. I saw happiness, hurt , pain, lies, determination, disappointment, joy every face showed for a moment the truth of each life. It was almost too much for me to witness but I could not stop watching and I could not stop crying. It was actually the beautiful pain of living of our truths even for just a moment.
I was not expecting to be brought to tears by a random click on a TH-cam video. Seeing these folks 'brought back to life' for a moment was breathtaking. And to think, none of these people had even the slightest idea that such a thing would be happening to them so very far into the future as they were sitting there posing for their portraits. We tend to think of people from the distant past almost like a different species when in reality, they were the same as us; they worried about money, got butterflies over love and cried over loss. As a middle aged man with no children or family left, I figure that my many photos albums will probably just wind up in a landfill some day. But I hope that at least some images of me survive and are perhaps able to be 'brought back to life' for a brief moment in centuries to come, should humanity even survive that long.
*And may I add that the little dog at 6:00 really overwhelmed me with emotion. I know a very special small dog who could very well be that dog's great x12 grandson. The way people live and the technology they use may change over time but even in ancient times, dogs have always just been dogs - pure, innocent and loving. If you have the means in your life, then please adopt (don't shop) a dog from a shelter. In doing so, you will instantly become the best human being on Earth in someone's eyes. 🐕
You took the words right out of my mouth...especially the parts about dogs...
And the man must've loved his dog very much to have wanted to have him in his portrait with him.
cringe
Deep thought
True. Same for me 🙂❤️
I absolutely love these. Each and every one of those people had a full life filled with emotion and laughter and we don't even know their names.
Their names are provided in the video description. 🙂.
I missed that at first, too.
Hard to get your head around isn't it
The fourth picture of the young man is Johannes Brahms,German composer......
You are right, the era is very interesting and full of various and significant events. The life of these people must have been amusing and exciting..
It's as if they are saying 'yes, I was really alive.. look at me' before fading away. Hauntingly beautiful
Yeah.
Totally agreed. That was the reason I cry the whole video. ¡It was such a wonderful personal experience!
It was good how they stayed serious and didn't start smiling.
"We are just stories."
I don't think I have ever seen a video on TH-cam which has made me feel so many emotions. At first, the images coming to life piqued my curiosity and then quality of the restorations had me in awe. Then I began to wonder how you decided to portray the details of the portraits (i.e. hair color, skin tone, eye color, ect.). After a few few minutes of these musings, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I was missing the whole point of what you have done. As each portrait "came to life", I felt as though each PERSON in the photographs was reaching out 170 years into the future and saying "I was here...the same as you". As each of them faded back into their still image , I couldn't help but feel extremely sad about the lives that have passed before us and my own mortality.
Love 💘your comments....
This was exactly my emotion. The realization that they’ve been dead for 100 years hits hard. It’s almost like looking at a live person who got sent back in time. I feel like I fell in love with some of these people
This is one of the reasons why we have to take care of our planet and the future of humanity. The individual passes for the whole to continue. We are them and basically we felt what they felt. See that many of us felt exactly what you described, including me. So in a way I am one with you and you are one with me, as we are one with all of us, uniting the past, the present and, if any, the future.
My friend, the fear of death is something we all have, do you know what death actually is? Its wages, wages for our sins, you see we've all sinned against a rightoues God, and deserve punishment, but because God loved us so much He sent His Son to die instead and if you will believe in who Jesus is and what He did for you, and turn your heart away from sin and towards God (repent) you will be saved
Exactly right! We are as sand in an hour glass...😪
My favorite was Johannes Brahms, who was a major influence on my composing and orchestrating style. It was like I was actually seeing this past master alive, and looking into his eyes! Now if only I could have shared conversation with him, and a few cold beers....sigh.... Peace! 🎼❤☮
I recognized him too! I instantly felt love for so many of these souls...
The very first woman looks so beautiful and stylish, touched me emotionally. The whole gallery is so haunting
She really is strikingly beautiful
She looks mean but pretty xD
She looks like Megan Fox when she was younger.
I was a costume designer for a costume shop in Chico, CA and one day a young man walked in to see if I could make a Confederate uniform for him. He said he had collected the buttons and medals at re-enactment events and online. When he pulled out the photo to show me, I was speechless. The young man in the old photo looked like he could be this man’s twin! I worked with a tailor researching fabrics and techniques to create the most exact replica for him. I still remember him to this day.
Maybe he was a time traveler.
I came across General Pattons ...Great grand Son...quite a Bit. I just Smiled. Good to see You..
I've watched this several times. Weird to say this, but when they go back to their original image it feels like you watch them pass on again. You are so happy to see them gain life that losing it again hurts.
there's something genuinely wrong with you.
the animation is the soulless part. check the skin tone... it's always too flat, and in several instances color wasn't even added, or with the last guy everything was just washed out in blue. then there's the constant blinking and disturbing attempts at simulating head movement. and every single one of them has blue eyes... even the black people.
seeing them fade back to the original should be a relief, because the animations are disturbing if you look closely.
@ mick , yet another one . Who upset you so much ?
@poolwaiter, I had the same impression and was just about to comment the exact same thing.
we must all die
Me, too! It’s like I can hug them. Like I know them. Then, they fade away and it’s like they died all over again. 💔
The first woman is absolutely beautiful. It’s amazing what you have done here. People, long forgotten, brought back to life for just enough time for me to feel engaged by their presence as if I knew them somehow, but no, they are 173 year old photos. Photos of people who’s memory is forgotten because everybody who knew and loved them is also long gone. This will be you and me one day, forgotten because everybody who loves us will also be long gone and forgotten. This kinda makes me want to enjoy my time here that little bit more. Our lives are literally a blip. The people in these photos had feelings, emotions, good days, bad days, jobs, favourite meals, pet hates, friends and places they loved to visit. They probably thought about what the world would be like in the year 2000, yet here we are in 2023, looking at their forgotten faces. It’s breathtaking. I love portraits like these. Keep up the good work
No smiles like todays. Lot good
looking faces but mouth closed. Reason, no wenirs, bridges, crowns, teeth whitening and implants in that time.
Yes, and no plastic surgery botox fillers I hope these faces, are no becoming truly a thing of the past some people today look like freaks
She is beautiful. I wonder who she was and what her life was like!
I agree. She is absolutely stunning.
She’s stunning. I wish she would come back to life somehow
This gives me a totally different picture of history. It helps me see that the biggest visible difference between the people of the past and the people I see today are the style of dress. It allows me to imagine people I know dressing exactly like this, as if they lived in that time, and that bridged the sea of difference I perceived between the people of the past and the present.
Go to a reenactment.
makes history more human doesnt it
Absolutely, I felt exactly the same whilst I was watching it, history can feel like a fantasy some times but this really hits home that they were just us.
exactly, and is something the movies can't give you.
I think we tend to romanticise period pieces whether the early infancy of photography or some obscure, grainy video shot somewhere in a city. I think we tend to not realise people basically had one or two outfits, sanitary habits and clearly medical advances weren’t prevalent as today. Horse drawn carriages and streetcars for transportation and no air travel, telephones, or cell phones, and pre-automobile age.
Thank you so much, you really make these people more human even with small touches that I am sure take so much work. It makes me feel a bit meloncholy seeing them so real knowing they are long gone. However, it also makes me happy to know you are showing they are not forgotten. So fantastic, keep up the good work.
They'll be saying the same thing about us 200 years from now when they see our images after we're long gone.
Profound to say the least. I wondered how these people lived out their lives, long life, short, who knows but just for a few seconds we saw them live again before gently fading back into history. You did a magnificent job there sir! More, more, more if you please.
There are a couple of famous people, like Johannes Brahms, 1:47, a famous musician, 1833-1897
I keep thinking here... how the past hurts! Just knowing that there were people like us, lives, cultures, moments. Everything has become like a memory, everything passes and never comes back. 😔 Very beautiful! I loved this video!
you're disturbed because you know that we will become them, we're here just for the moment, a chance given us to exist and experience life
