Horses of themselves aren't surprisngly that expensive. You can get good paddock horsies for like 500 dollars 1k. as always the issue is feed, shoes, etc.
@@pacodeluciiaa just saying it as it is. they aren't that expensive to buy the issue is feed and etc. But if you have a good size paddock you can just have them eat the grass and give them a bit of lucerne as a treat. that just leaves medical bills shoes, coats and etc to pay for.
Absolutely fantastic reproduction! This film was was first shot on April 14, 1906, just four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire, to which the negative was nearly lost. It was produced by moving picture photographers the Miles brothers: Harry, Herbert, Earle and Joe. Harry J. Miles hand-cranked the Bell & Howell camera which was placed on the front of a streetcar during filming on Market Street from 8th, in front of the Miles Studios, to the Ferry building. A few days later the Miles brothers were en route to New York when they heard news of the earthquake. They sent the negative to NY, and returned to San Francisco to discover that their studios were destroyed. The origin of the film was an enigma for many decades, and it was long thought to have been shot in September of 1905, after being dated as such by the Library of Congress based on the state of construction of several buildings. However, in 2009 and 2010, film historian David Kiehn, co-founder of Niles Film Museum in Niles, California, dated the film to the spring of 1906 from automobile registrations and weather records. Kiehn eventually found promotional materials from the film's original release and dated the film to April 14th, 1906, and finally gave credit to the filmmakers, the Miles Brothers.
@@nebula1924 The Miles Brothers (Harry J., Herbert, Joseph, and Earl C.) were pioneers in American cinema. In 1902, they established one of the first motion picture exchanges in the United States. They are long long gone
@@rogerrrubin This footage can't be from 1906.Nice Story though.Whoever dated it to 1906 and said it was shot right before the devastating earthquake is most likely wrong since you can clearly see the Hoffman Cafe & Grille building on 619 Market St which is seen on the right at 07:12 .It was only built in 1913.

When that footage was taken those people imaged were not thinking about 2020, nor even too much, if at all, about whether or not they would be surviving the 1910s. Someone then and there MIGHT think that an end of an entire Millenium celebration would be one hell of a party but that such is still a good 94 years off.
Just watched this with my 84 year old Mom, who’s from San Francisco - what a special way to experience this. My great uncle worked on the Ferry Clock for decades, so it’s always neat to see. My Mom says she remembers her grandmother talking about camping in Golden Gate Park after the earthquake. Thank you for this wonderful work!
A viewer asked if any of the buildings in this video remain today. Yes, there are a few: at around 1:36 the massive Flood Building is on the left, at the corner of Market and Powell streets. On the right, the tall domed building in the near distance is the Call Building, although its exterior was re-clad in the 1930's and the dome covered up. It is now the Central Tower. Of course, the building at the very end of Market street is the Ferry Building, still going strong after all these years. At around 5:07, to the right are the columns of the front of the Call Building. Just beyond on the right the whitish building is the Hearst Building, which was destroyed in the fire but re-built in (generally) the same style as the one seen in the video. Just between the Hearst Building and the Palace Hotel (which was destroyed in the fire and was rebuilt) is the Monadnock Building, which was under construction at the time. Also at 5:07, on the left side of the street, the building that appears to be somewhat diagonal to the viewer is the Chronicle Building. It is, unfortunately, rather obscured in shadow. Kudos to Denis Shiryaev for an exceptional job in taking some pretty grainy black-and-white footage and restoring it to near HD quality.
You know what's sort of a shame? We don't really do much restoration up here in Seattle, WA. If you did a 1920 video it simply would not have a single building except for maybe one or two in Pioneer Square. The city would be unrecognizable. I wish there were more restoration projects on old buildings. One of my favorite things about Italy is seeing all the old architecture, and then stepping inside to what feels like a brand new modern home.
@@PalpitoMcCray Region where I'm from Emilia Romagna there were a lot of abandoned villa in the countryside constructed in late 1800 and some even earlier than that, old landowners had used the ownership of those houses to build a new one maybe like 100 meter far away from the old one. So the old villa wasn't just inhabitable because of the condition but also because it wasn't allowed. In early 90s local government decided to give permission to live in those villa again only upon restoration and no change in the aesthetics were allowed only renovations ! now 30 years later it's incredible how beautiful the landscape has become with those villa back in their old splendor.
They seem to be driving anyway they want. I dont think the concept of left or right hand side driving was invented back then. Nor were the traffic-police. Changing your mind and do a U-turn in the middle of the road seem to be perfectly fine.
That video camera is literally a time machine for all those people into our world today and vice versa. I love the kids excited by being on camera. They are dead now, but waving to the future Post mortem. They had no idea we’d be now watching them that day. Magical.
Yes, I agree with you too!!! No one of these persons would imagine that they will be seen more than one hundred years after, and from the Internet! And unfortunately, most of these people died days after when the earthquake came...
I love videos of old street scenes & this one is my favourite. Ive watched it over a few times now & I never get tired of it. Fantastic work bringing this beautiful little piece of history back to life.
Leon Müller I Love it, very elegant and honorable, look how people dress today, men dress like women and women are half naked, morals and ethics are lost. Those old days had many good aspects and elements that don’t exist nowadays
Man from the Orient What exactly is honorable about wearing dark clothes? Also where do you live that men dress like women? At least where I live men do not wear dresses. I agree that women should not wear hot pants and similarly short clothes. But that is their choice and if they want to wear such revealing clothes they should be allowed and able to do so.
Leon Müller Do you think it’s more masculine and honorable to wear destroyed skinny jeans as a man? At least those men dressed like a real man and looked elegant and like gentlemen. Who says women shouldn’t be allowed to be naked or half naked? It’s just a worrying development as there are studies which prove that women are seen as sexual objects nowadays. And it isn’t their choice, it’s forced upon them by marketing and by those who set the clothing standard.
The 60 frames per second really is what makes these old films so realistic feeling. I've always have looked at old films and seeing them as a moving painting. But these upscaled high fps videos really make it seem like I am present in the scene.
Yea it is incredible how this has been cleaned up and restored. You literally feel like you are almost present at this time or have taken a time travel trip. I can watch this over and over and over .
I agree with you on that one. Every time I watched old videos it looked like fake man made scened play rather, than a reality. But when you watch this video, it makes you feel those people on the video and you realize that it was real and people there are real.
I love how chaotic it is and yet somehow it manages to flow so freely! It must be so liberating being able to go wherever and however you want like that on the street without having to obey traffic lights/ pedestrian crossings etc.
@@ice6358 lol go ahead put it on your 4K big screen like I did. And if your suggesting a construction mistake then that’s just your ego stopping you from really looking. Those type of mistakes don’t get left there for years. Lmfao.
4:37 I love watching old videos and seeing people do this (the guy waving). This guy was just having an average day, and now thousands of people are watching him wave 114 years later.
@@Fuzzamajumula That's pretty hard to think of personally for me. So many people who would never know how far we've come. It's strange to imagine that there are at least some people in this video who lived through the earthquake, World War 1, World War 2, and maybe, just maybe one of them saw the moon landing.
@@h12-p3j well the oldest person alive currently is Kane Tanaka born in 1903, although she was 2 years old during the time in this video, she lived through it all, and she managed to live through the pandemic too, which is so crazy to me. She’s 118 years old and currently holds the worlds Guinness record for the oldest person alive. And to mention, she lived through the Spanish flu in 1918, that killed millions. And now she’s living through Covid and still is alive and being well taken care of in some place far from outsiders I hope.
I think it’d be awesome to be that old, but it sounds really terrible, I wonder how lonely she feels, all your children would die of old age before you. Kane Tanaka’s children did die all before her, 3 died in the early 1940s when they were in their 20s, and the other 2 probably died of old age. Her grandchildren take care of her I think and they look like their grandparents themselves.
What I find remarkable is how well all these modes of transportation still coexisted and intermingled. They didn't need separate lanes for each, because carriages, motorcars, streetcars, horses, bicycles, and pedestrians were all roughly equals, with none of them vastly outspeeding or overpowering the others. There were still collisions, of course, but they weren't so likely to kill or cripple people as any incident involving a car is today.
Think about it. If you could shoot back into time to this day and this time, this exact thing would be happening just as we are seeing it here. The only thing different would be you.
Also everything was very slow. The kids could easily overtake a car. Imagine if we’d only drive 6-8 km/h nowadays... 0 deaths, no damages more than a few scratches... but the downsides overweigh... the people back than often didn’t come around more than just a few dozend kilometers.
I just watched the old un-restored footage of this and the difference is truly astonishing. Denis, your many hours of work have created something truly compelling. Thank you for this. Kudos.
Oh ya real astonishing. Letting an AI work out almost all of it. I wonder if people know that colored automobiles existed in 1906, and before. Reds, light blue, yellow, white obviously, darker rich greens and reds, a magenta, a spring green, light pale opal yellow (for 1906 Oldsmobile) color chart. Dark channel green (black green iridescent basically). Truly a whole world of colors, and astonishing efforts and works. So much beauty that you need a camera with real spectrum Kodachrome color to see. The first camera was 15 years after this in 1921 when Kodachromes were established. My grandfather purchased a brand new 1906 Oldsmobile sedanette for my grandmother, in a mahagony iridescent red. Advert green, and piccolo blue. You won't hear that any where else, as I had the catalogue color chart that came with the dealership.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Colour automobiles existed, as long as the colour is black. According to Ford anyway. But yeah, the colorization just makes everything black. Very visible in clothing in other videos.
@@StrazdasLT up until mid 1925 (for the new 1926 Models noticably more attractive..Ford played on peoples emotions by making his automobile the most popular because no one expected him to add color back to his silent movie of an automobile) Ford stayed in a black only pallete aside from 1913 and before. His funny little motto for the vastly overated novel-t model-t. After that Ford had 6 colors, Dark yellow beige or more formally known chief ochre, deep channel green as listed, Phoenix brown, Gunmetal Blue iridescent, Double deep black, Fawn Gray, Royal Maroon. Compare that to Nash in 1926 -Admiral Blue -Oriental red/indigo turquoise -Sage green -Colonial yellow - Regent maroon - poly clover gold - forest green - electric green - SEAMAN gray (not to be confused with...) And that was the basic model, the Deluxe Seaman, and thoroughbred 400 had mint green in 1925-6. Not everything was all black and white, few movies were even color. They were what was to the 1910s early sound movies.
@@StrazdasLT ah and you'll like this. Real, no B.S. color from cinecolor productions in 1931, This is what you've always wanted. It is in Los Angeles showcasing the city. Another is in 1935, I'll that if I can. They are priceless. The city looks so much more alive than in black and white, might even find yourself wanting to live then. th-cam.com/video/BtrSEvo5GwE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/N4NyRWCPrz4/w-d-xo.html ... This one's almost better (I hold anything nearing the 1920's as being purely priceless so it will always take the cake as the finest and hardest example to discover) with rich vibrant pallets...except the obvious elephant of the room or great hall, being that dark hues totally obstructed the view of color, in Kodachrome and technicolor alike..the dark palletes are completely black or dark blue-red and hard to tell apart. The lighter vehicles are seen with ease, specifically the blue bus. Youll also notice I take it, the variety of metallic automobile as well. That mid matte shimmer that doesn't quite look opaque was called pewter gunmetal and or "poly", or if your the 1950's: iridescent. Last thing you'll notice, automobile were not slow back then, this film is almost exactly to correct pace if not the people travelling and moving just a hair too quick, and I mean half a hair you hardly notice it.
My grandfather always told me stories from his childhood (he was born in 1896) when he saw a car for the first time and couldn't understand that the carriage drove without horses! I could watch these films by the hour! Great more of this. Friendly greetings from Germany !
@@superchargedmoparpushheavy1306 TF are you talking about? People fron SF are called San Franciscans... learn before you speak, "you lame". LoL! How does it feel to face plant troll?
Well, the replies to Blind Visionary seem a little goofy. As a native San Franciscan also, I’m glad nobody is calling it “Frisco” or “SanFran.” SanFran is a name used by ESPN sportscasters. I cringe every time I hear it.
Only people that came from elsewhere called it Frisco. Older generation San Franciscans used to say, very pointedly, “Don’t call it Frisco. It’s San Francisco!” They we’re proud of their city.
According to the clocks on the Ferry Building this film was recorded from about 3:03 to 3:16 in the afternoon and the newsies had just gotten a new stack of afternoon papers.
There were no driving instructors back in 1906. People just taught themselves how to drive, or from driving horse & buggies. It was probably their first horseless carriage.
@@xAl3216 Kind of sad how so many people today take every word another person says as literal; without troubling themselves to give one moment's thought about those words put together in context. Frankly it bores the hell out of me!
Well shit, at-least they weren’t running into each other,😂😂 people take drivers tests today and can’t drive for shit. But before someone goes nuts on me ik the circumstances are different, it’s hard to crash with these compared to the cars today that go to 100mph in seconds
Mr. Shiryaev, I am writing a time travel story about returning to 1900 San Francisco. I have watched this clip many times and imagine walking the streets with these people. Thank you Sir, cheers and warm regards.
I think we are in the year 2500.. but we are in the simulated world of 2022. In order for the watchers to learn how to fix the future. You know.. with all the acid rain and stuff in 2500
Honestly you can blame Heroin, you can blame politics. But what if there is someone with bowel issues just walking down the street in DTSF? They have no public bathroom options. I don’t care how much you hate drug addicts and or homeless people. Make public restrooms available again. What is different between ramifications of public restroom OD and one on the middle of the street? Seriously
If India has taught us anything its that poop is not very synonymous with a country / nation / even city desire for educated masses. It’s just a shitty thing that’s barely thought about by the person doing so. They just are releasing a physical desire in the only place they can. Please make more restrooms in SF!
@@user-NIKOLAY_78 если внимательно смотреть, то там были вагоны с тролями. Конкретно по этой линии ездили и ездят трамваи на канатной тяге из-за очень крутых подъемов, и из всего электрического оборудования на них было только освещение.
This is the closest thing to time travel for me. Its really revealing how seeing everything in color makes the past seem like its much closer to us than seeing this in black and white. Though that traffic was something else. In a hundred years or so some people from the future might watch the same kind of footage of San Francisco from 2020.
Nobody films any 2020 street footage today like they did back then, because film was something new. Now we take it for granted and do not care anymore about preserving stuff for the future.
I'm from the Bay Area, first time I saw a somewhat rough cut of this video, whenever I go down to Market Street this image comes to my mind and thought about these people who, in one time have walked my city's streets. Makes you think how mysterious life could be. It gives me the chills man.
Im not from SF but watching this hi res video so many times inspires me to at least make a trip to market street and imagine this if i took a train ride
Simply AMAZING!! You have literally transported each of us TH-cam viewers to a moment in time that only lived in our great grandparents memories......everything seems so distant, yet seems so familiar watching this video.
dude, these are my favourite thing to watch on TH-cam at the moment, find them fascinating, thank you for this! Where do you get the source footage? Library?
The source was from Guy Jones' Channel on this youtube platform. As mostly of footages were uploaded at on black and white color format. In which those videos were coded by the originalty its form.
I went to Google Maps and found, on street view, the building at the end (The Ferry Building) still standing today. Amazing. I could even see the "Erected 1896" sign. It's still there. From 114 years ago. Wow!
Quite impressive, esp. for americans. Where I live, the major's office is inside a medieval chateau in the middle of our village. It was build in 1557 and is still in use, even along with the old Bakehouse with furnace
@@SurrealGigabyte I suppose your chateau took much longer to build then just one year. Everything was done by hand in those days. So it was finished in 1557 but may have taken 10 years or so to build. You should look into that....
What always amazes me about these videos, is how there are absolutely no traffic laws whatsoever. Just people, hoses, cars, trolleys, and complete chaos. Yet everyone navigates flawlessly. Everyone seems to make it work with no apparent road rage. Lol. Just go when it’s your time to go or wait till an opening. These are so fun to watch.
Hard for there to be accidents when all the cars and trolleys are only moving about 10-15 MPH. No wonder there were so many deaths when they got faster, people tried doing this until it became so reckless and dangerous that crosswalks and traffic lights had to be invented.
@@aguy7848 That is BS. There are no accidents because back then people were allowed to think for themselves and responsible FOR THEMSELVES AS FREE MEN AND WOMEN. You totally missed the point. The absolute BEAUTY of freedom. VERY SAD. Sir... tyranny did not "have to be invented to protect anyone" in any way shape or form. It was thrust upon us by evil men shortly after this film by the FED (and bankers) in 1912 and grew into the draconian 1984 society we now live in. It is people like you who keep us this way because you cannot 'see' what is on the screen right in front of you.... BEAUTIFUL MORAL HUMAN FREEDOM.
@@shelby3347 All those Ford Model T vehicles recklessly driving in and out of the paths of all of those trolley cars like all of the drivers are drunk DID NOT EXIST YET in 1906! =======>On October 1, 1908, the first production Model T Ford is completed at the company’s Piquette Avenue plant in Detroit. ===>Ford Model T's were NOT released to the public for purchase or ownership until at the very earliest Oct of 1908 but more likely not until 1909!
Beautiful! And how many of these people would even dream that they might not be there the next week? These old films are a true treasure for professional historians or anyone who wants to take a trip into the past. Thank you.
They all knew about it, it was staged and they weren't supposed to look, but obviously many couldn't help it lol The kid waving probably got a spanking later ;)
No, actually the cameras were even smaller than what they use today on standard motion motion picture sets. Can't you just say Hey Google and see for yourself before you post nonsense. It's takes 2 seconds. Not everything gets bigger or smaller through the years. It's a bit more complex than that. That's why you need to think. Try it sometime
Amazing. Amazing. I live here now and have travelled Market Street many many times. The last shots were astonishing. Well well done!! What strikes me is how "chaotic" everything and everybody is, but that it all works. Nowadays we are all structured and constricted and everything is a mess!
There is footage of Market Street after the earthquake, heading in the same direction,, taken by the same filmmakers. (A different TH-cam channel said the cameraman's name was Earl Miles and he was assisted by his brother. So this is known as the Miles Brother's film.) It would be amazing to match up and the improve those images and then match them side by side so we could see a color before and after of Market Street in 1906.
@@darringraham2613 - I'm having trouble finding the entire film. I read about it a couple of years ago. Here's links to two news story that shows a bits of the film.

What would be a nifty effect is if someone were to take the same journey today along the same path with a camera and film it. You could show the two movies side by side! BTW, you could use a motion tracker algorithm to sync the two view. On top of the de-blurring, some work could be done to remove the white scratch out scenes (with images from previous scenes)
There is. You can look up "Market St. then and now" and get a few results. It's hard to sync up though because there's proper traffic signals and the streetcars don't travel at the same speed. You could maybe do it by bike if you could steady the camera.
Well curiosity it was scares back then. Everyone just gets in with it no aggression bumping into people etc.hard times but fare I'd guess. America didnt suffer like Europeans during the two wars yes they joined but the general public never experienced bombings of their cities rations invasions etc. Peaceful land. Europeans were hardened to wars through history. Very intresting video. I must go to america to vlogg one day. A great country.
Dennis, amazing work. Thank you for your incredible video restorations. One suggestion: although the music is very welcomed, perhaps it could be more time-accurate. Might want to look up most popular songs from early 1900s or something like that. Although blues was around, it wasn’t prevalent in San Francisco to my knowledge, and electric guitar wasn’t invented for close to 40 years from this. Having more accurate music from the era would make it even more immersive. Just a small suggestion. Thanks again and please keep them coming!
Огромное спасибо тёзка за возможность увидеть это в таком качестве! Мне одному это кажется каким-то сюром? Не могу это вербализовать, но смотришь и не веришь.
Thank you Denis you have incredible videos of this time period and this before the San Francisco earthquake.....I also love the feel with the sounds how it felt so serene in those days....thank you so much!
This is as close to an actual time machine we are getting in our lifetime. I'm speechless watching this I'm gonna share with my friends this is amazing!
The crazy thing is, no one bats an eye at him! Yet they are transfixed on the camera - nowadays it's the other way around, if you saw someone riding a horse in downtown SF it would be weird but no one cares about all the cameras.
It's amazing because the look on their faces is like they are getting a look at the future, as we look back at them, getting a look into the past.. it's wild.
Who else recognized this footage from Quantic - Time Is The Enemy ? But now its in incredibly high quality - I can almost feel like I am there. Amazing work!
Drivers: "I think I will go over there now." Pedestrians: "I'm about to go over there now." Horses: "Think I'll go there now." Bicyclists: "Oh yeah, I am going over there now." Trolleys: "I am coming from over there now." Children: "I am going to run in front of all of you now."
It's so strange thinking that this is how my great grandfather has seen San Francisco. Coming from a little city in Italy, alone and lost but ready to make money and give his children and his wife a better life!
This is beyond amazing. Thank you for this experience, I loved watching the guy in front camera. I was hooked. Started calling him 'my little guy' and was cheering for him and everything. When he hopped into the random carriage I saw his idea and waited till he reappeared in that carriage. I watched as they raced to the other end of the street, and when the carriage turned off. I waited for my little guy to reappear in font of the camera till it got to the end. When it spun around to face the way is came I was in awe of how it all looked. Then when it showed the four (4) days later I gasped because we don't know if my little guy survived. Again thank you so much for this experience.

Three and a half million views as of 1/16/22. I suspect some of you already have a version of a time machine just about completed in your basements. When you get your contraption working, let's all meet for lunch at the Hoffman Cafe & Grill on April 14, 1906 and compare notes. After steak and eggs and a nice beer, let's step outside the street and wave at the trolley with the cameraman as it heads down to the Ferry Building. Heck, some of us might already be in this amazing film. Thank you Denis!
I believe this is looking down Market Street towards the Ferry Building--quite amazing to see the difference between then and the concrete and glass towers along the street now. I wonder how many of those buildings are still there.
It made me sad too. But it made me sad because of nostalgia. And it's nostalgia for a time I once lived in. If you're sad it's probably because you once lived in this era. I know I did. Chin up. We will be okay. :)
Almost 110 years later, on January 11, 2016, William Del Monte, the last known survivor of the 7.8-magnitude San Francisco earthquake and fires, died of natural causes at a retirement home north of San Francisco. He was 3 months old at the time of the quake. He died at the age of 109, just 11 days shy of his 110th birthday..
I remember my grandmother telling me that years ago, especially in church, women had to have their heads covered. Even if it was just by a tissue, there had to be something on it.
I never realized just how built up San Francisco was when the quake hit. And how many streetcars ran! It's so interesting how the pedestrians act with the wheeled traffic moving so slowly. So different from our fast, fast world. That last snippet was chilling to see.
@@joedirt6073 They were deep into the industrial revolution in an extremely well built-out city with a large population invested in rebuilding and you have doubts?
@@joedirt6073 Read about the history of construction. Sure there weren't electric power tools but they did have STEAM equipment - tractors to pull heavy loads, cranes and pulleys to lift things, and so on. Steam drills even figure in a folk song of the time, The Ballad of John Henry. You can look it up. Think about it for more than two seconds ... how were huge projects like the transcontinental railroad accomplished? How were ocean-going ships built? How were massive bridges and tunnels constructed? This era was only 3 or 4 lifetimes ago. People weren't living in caves, they were educated and experienced, maybe not the same way we are but certainly not any less capable or intelligent.
@@JayKarpwick Maybe it is you who needs to think about it for more than 2 seconds, did you think of that? You have been told how it all went down. If you choose to buy it all that doesn't mean any of it is true. History is written by the winners. Think logistics...what have you been told about logistics 150 years ago?
I love this! Especially as I lived in SF from 1979 - 1994. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to live there. I fell in love with the city the first time I visited. I'm very sad that it's become too expensive for me and many of my friends to afford. Thank you for going to the trouble of reprocessing this video!
It looks like there were a lot of steam powered cars at that time. It's amazing we didn't see any collisions the way people and cars were darting in each others paths.
Not that amazing, it predates most of the road rules we're used to, so all parties are generally equally liable for accidents (with slight bias in favour of pedestrians) Lower speeds, too. See also the crazy high traffic multi-way intersections in parts of asia with no controls at all with lower accident rates than many supposedly much safer controlled intersections in western countries. Not counting on anyone else to act in any particular way (other than perhaps to attempt to not get killed) because they're 'supposed' to, people tend to pay more attention to what the other traffic Is doing, and react accordingly (and also get more practice doing so, so don't freak out as much).
Удивительное ощущение. Смотришь на людей, которых давно уже нет. А каждый куда-то ехал, о чем-то думал, мечтал, куда-то стремился. А мы смотрим на них, и тоже о чем-то думаем и мечтаем.

Да, это удивительно. У меня точно такие же мысли. Вроде бы каждый знает, что умрет и что до него жили и уже умерли миллиарды людей, но почему-то не помнит об этом в процессе своей жизнедеятельности.
Да,я о том же подумал,но ещё на предыдущем видео про Нью-Йорк,вот там детишки смотрели в камеру,а возможно их уже и нет в живых,да скорее 100% нет..но ведь они прожили свою жизнь, кто-то умер на двух войнах и тд,но они даже не представляли,что когда-то через 100 лет на них будут смотреть миллионы людей и они хоть каким-то краем своего лица попадут в историю,а мб кто то из родных увидит или узнает или кто то заморочится и даже найдет историю парочки этих людей,которые есть тут на экране и ..чем черт не шутит))я бы хотел узнать хоть о ком то из этих людей..кто и как прожил эту скоротечную жизнь...
@Truth incredibly shallow to think a suit and a dress means "civilized" society. In this civilized society you are seeing, those dressed women couldn't vote, and half the country was knee deep in institutionalized racism. As a matter of fact if you watch the Nuremberg rally and Hitler speech you will see a lot of civility - all nice shirts, suits, ties and uniforms.
Hey Denis This is awesome! I’m guessing you know that they sent this footage to their New York office just in time to miss the disaster, but did you know they also took footage from Market Street two weeks after? It was a lost film reel until it was surfaced in a garage sale a few years ago and was restored... It would be crazy if you could do that footage too and do a side by side comparison shot of Before and After the tragedy...
Не знаю почему, но смотря такие видео, я как будто погружаюсь в те времена и проживаю то время, ностальгируя в данный момент. Это прекрасное чувство! О жизнь была! Движуха все дела! Спасибо большое автору за прекрасно проделанную работу! :)
This is some of the most amazing footage I have ever seen. A true time capsule. Thank you for this. I have watched this many times, and will likely continue to do so the rest of my life. I will likely see something new every time as well.

Absolutely fantastic reproduction! This film was was first shot on April 14, 1906, just four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire, to which the negative was nearly lost. It was produced by moving picture photographers the Miles brothers: Harry, Herbert, Earle and Joe. Harry J. Miles hand-cranked the Bell & Howell camera which was placed on the front of a streetcar during filming on Market Street from 8th, in front of the Miles Studios, to the Ferry building. A few days later the Miles brothers were en route to New York when they heard news of the earthquake. They sent the negative to NY, and returned to San Francisco to discover that their studios were destroyed.
The origin of the film was an enigma for many decades, and it was long thought to have been shot in September of 1905, after being dated as such by the Library of Congress based on the state of construction of several buildings. However, in 2009 and 2010, film historian David Kiehn, co-founder of Niles Film Museum in Niles, California, dated the film to the spring of 1906 from automobile registrations and weather records. Kiehn eventually found promotional materials from the film's original release and dated the film to April 14th, 1906, and finally gave credit to the filmmakers, the Miles Brothers.

Thank you
Where can the Miles brothers be reached today? Did they rebuild their studio(s) in San Francisco? Be great if they had narrated this.

When that footage was taken those people imaged were not thinking about 2020, nor even too much, if at all, about whether or not they would be surviving the 1910s. Someone then and there MIGHT think that an end of an entire Millenium celebration would be one hell of a party but that such is still a good 94 years off.
Just watched this with my 84 year old Mom, who’s from San Francisco - what a special way to experience this.
My great uncle worked on the Ferry Clock for decades, so it’s always neat to see.
My Mom says she remembers her grandmother talking about camping in Golden Gate Park after the earthquake.
Thank you for this wonderful work!
A viewer asked if any of the buildings in this video remain today. Yes, there are a few: at around 1:36 the massive Flood Building is on the left, at the corner of Market and Powell streets. On the right, the tall domed building in the near distance is the Call Building, although its exterior was re-clad in the 1930's and the dome covered up. It is now the Central Tower. Of course, the building at the very end of Market street is the Ferry Building, still going strong after all these years. At around 5:07, to the right are the columns of the front of the Call Building. Just beyond on the right the whitish building is the Hearst Building, which was destroyed in the fire but re-built in (generally) the same style as the one seen in the video. Just between the Hearst Building and the Palace Hotel (which was destroyed in the fire and was rebuilt) is the Monadnock Building, which was under construction at the time. Also at 5:07, on the left side of the street, the building that appears to be somewhat diagonal to the viewer is the Chronicle Building. It is, unfortunately, rather obscured in shadow. Kudos to Denis Shiryaev for an exceptional job in taking some pretty grainy black-and-white footage and restoring it to near HD quality.
You know what's sort of a shame? We don't really do much restoration up here in Seattle, WA. If you did a 1920 video it simply would not have a single building except for maybe one or two in Pioneer Square. The city would be unrecognizable. I wish there were more restoration projects on old buildings. One of my favorite things about Italy is seeing all the old architecture, and then stepping inside to what feels like a brand new modern home.
@@PalpitoMcCray Region where I'm from Emilia Romagna there were a lot of abandoned villa in the countryside constructed in late 1800 and some even earlier than that, old landowners had used the ownership of those houses to build a new one maybe like 100 meter far away from the old one. So the old villa wasn't just inhabitable because of the condition but also because it wasn't allowed. In early 90s local government decided to give permission to live in those villa again only upon restoration and no change in the aesthetics were allowed only renovations ! now 30 years later it's incredible how beautiful the landscape has become with those villa back in their old splendor.
Worked in the Hearst building , the position of the Hearst building never changed when the renovated/rebuilt it
WTF. Did anyone at all notice at the end of the film at the terminal hub the year the building was erected ?????? WTF 896 ?????? WTF
The only rule is: "There is no rule. "
They seem to be driving anyway they want. I dont think the concept of left or right hand side driving was invented back then. Nor were the traffic-police. Changing your mind and do a U-turn in the middle of the road seem to be perfectly fine.
Thank God for traffic signals
Don't need rules when moving at 1 mph
Its still worse traffic than this in India

That video camera is literally a time machine for all those people into our world today and vice versa. I love the kids excited by being on camera. They are dead now, but waving to the future Post mortem. They had no idea we’d be now watching them that day. Magical.
Yes, I agree with you too!!! No one of these persons would imagine that they will be seen more than one hundred years after, and from the Internet! And unfortunately, most of these people died days after when the earthquake came...
Thank you! was tryin to explain that to some people, they didnt see anything magical in it! thks
They might have died 4 days later during the earthquake

I love videos of old street scenes & this one is my favourite. Ive watched it over a few times now & I never get tired of it. Fantastic work bringing this beautiful little piece of history back to life.
More than 100 years passed and everything's so different, except for fact that men's suit will never go out of fashion.
The lady hats are the same ones church ladies wear today, especially older ones.
Yeah but now men’s suits are not worn every day in the city. Back then EVERYONE wore the same god dam suit.
Leon Müller I Love it, very elegant and honorable, look how people dress today, men dress like women and women are half naked, morals and ethics are lost. Those old days had many good aspects and elements that don’t exist nowadays
Man from the Orient
What exactly is honorable about wearing dark clothes? Also where do you live that men dress like women?
At least where I live men do not wear dresses.
I agree that women should not wear hot pants and similarly short clothes. But that is their choice and if they want to wear such revealing clothes they should be allowed and able to do so.
Leon Müller Do you think it’s more masculine and honorable to wear destroyed skinny jeans as a man? At least those men dressed like a real man and looked elegant and like gentlemen.
Who says women shouldn’t be allowed to be naked or half naked? It’s just a worrying development as there are studies which prove that women are seen as sexual objects nowadays. And it isn’t their choice, it’s forced upon them by marketing and by those who set the clothing standard.
The 60 frames per second really is what makes these old films so realistic feeling. I've always have looked at old films and seeing them as a moving painting. But these upscaled high fps videos really make it seem like I am present in the scene.
Yea it is incredible how this has been cleaned up and restored. You literally feel like you are almost present at this time or have taken a time travel trip. I can watch this over and over and over .
@@jckhammer Me too. I'll never get sick of it. I'm so happy other people feel the same way. :)

I agree with you on that one. Every time I watched old videos it looked like fake man made scened play rather, than a reality. But when you watch this video, it makes you feel those people on the video and you realize that it was real and people there are real.

@@h12-p3j well the oldest person alive currently is Kane Tanaka born in 1903, although she was 2 years old during the time in this video, she lived through it all, and she managed to live through the pandemic too, which is so crazy to me. She’s 118 years old and currently holds the worlds Guinness record for the oldest person alive. And to mention, she lived through the Spanish flu in 1918, that killed millions. And now she’s living through Covid and still is alive and being well taken care of in some place far from outsiders I hope.
I think it’d be awesome to be that old, but it sounds really terrible, I wonder how lonely she feels, all your children would die of old age before you. Kane Tanaka’s children did die all before her, 3 died in the early 1940s when they were in their 20s, and the other 2 probably died of old age. Her grandchildren take care of her I think and they look like their grandparents themselves.
@@h12-p3j The chance for an average Californian person to die in a world war was extremely low. Especially in WW1
What I find remarkable is how well all these modes of transportation still coexisted and intermingled. They didn't need separate lanes for each, because carriages, motorcars, streetcars, horses, bicycles, and pedestrians were all roughly equals, with none of them vastly outspeeding or overpowering the others. There were still collisions, of course, but they weren't so likely to kill or cripple people as any incident involving a car is today.
This is as close as we'll ever get to a time machine. Amazing.
i saw one old video of a guy talking to his hand. Of course there were no cell phone towers back then but people called him a time traveler

1906 and automobiles were relatively new. I doubt there were a lot of laws in place at that time.
Also everything was very slow. The kids could easily overtake a car. Imagine if we’d only drive 6-8 km/h nowadays... 0 deaths, no damages more than a few scratches... but the downsides overweigh... the people back than often didn’t come around more than just a few dozend kilometers.
What traffic rules? 😉
I just watched the old un-restored footage of this and the difference is truly astonishing. Denis, your many hours of work have created something truly compelling. Thank you for this. Kudos.
Oh ya real astonishing. Letting an AI work out almost all of it. I wonder if people know that colored automobiles existed in 1906, and before. Reds, light blue, yellow, white obviously, darker rich greens and reds, a magenta, a spring green, light pale opal yellow (for 1906 Oldsmobile) color chart. Dark channel green (black green iridescent basically). Truly a whole world of colors, and astonishing efforts and works. So much beauty that you need a camera with real spectrum Kodachrome color to see. The first camera was 15 years after this in 1921 when Kodachromes were established. My grandfather purchased a brand new 1906 Oldsmobile sedanette for my grandmother, in a mahagony iridescent red. Advert green, and piccolo blue. You won't hear that any where else, as I had the catalogue color chart that came with the dealership.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar That color chart would be a big help to those trying to colorize video from back then.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Colour automobiles existed, as long as the colour is black. According to Ford anyway. But yeah, the colorization just makes everything black. Very visible in clothing in other videos.
@@StrazdasLT up until mid 1925 (for the new 1926 Models noticably more attractive..Ford played on peoples emotions by making his automobile the most popular because no one expected him to add color back to his silent movie of an automobile) Ford stayed in a black only pallete aside from 1913 and before. His funny little motto for the vastly overated novel-t model-t. After that Ford had 6 colors, Dark yellow beige or more formally known chief ochre, deep channel green as listed, Phoenix brown, Gunmetal Blue iridescent, Double deep black, Fawn Gray, Royal Maroon.
Compare that to Nash in 1926
-Admiral Blue
-Oriental red/indigo turquoise
-Sage green
-Colonial yellow
- Regent maroon
- poly clover gold
- forest green
- electric green
- SEAMAN gray (not to be confused with...)
And that was the basic model, the Deluxe Seaman, and thoroughbred 400 had mint green in 1925-6.
Not everything was all black and white, few movies were even color. They were what was to the 1910s early sound movies.
@@StrazdasLT ah and you'll like this.
Real, no B.S. color from cinecolor productions in 1931, This is what you've always wanted. It is in Los Angeles showcasing the city. Another is in 1935, I'll that if I can. They are priceless. The city looks so much more alive than in black and white, might even find yourself wanting to live then.

This one's almost better (I hold anything nearing the 1920's as being purely priceless so it will always take the cake as the finest and hardest example to discover) with rich vibrant pallets...except the obvious elephant of the room or great hall, being that dark hues totally obstructed the view of color, in Kodachrome and technicolor alike..the dark palletes are completely black or dark blue-red and hard to tell apart. The lighter vehicles are seen with ease, specifically the blue bus. Youll also notice I take it, the variety of metallic automobile as well. That mid matte shimmer that doesn't quite look opaque was called pewter gunmetal and or "poly", or if your the 1950's: iridescent. Last thing you'll notice, automobile were not slow back then, this film is almost exactly to correct pace if not the people travelling and moving just a hair too quick, and I mean half a hair you hardly notice it.

I went to Google Maps and found, on street view, the building at the end (The Ferry Building) still standing today. Amazing. I could even see the "Erected 1896" sign. It's still there. From 114 years ago. Wow!
No.... It was from 124 years ago.....even more WOW!!!
Quite impressive, esp. for americans. Where I live, the major's office is inside a medieval chateau in the middle of our village. It was build in 1557 and is still in use, even along with the old Bakehouse with furnace
@@SurrealGigabyte I suppose your chateau took much longer to build then just one year. Everything was done by hand in those days. So it was finished in 1557 but may have taken 10 years or so to build. You should look into that....
@@thommysides4616 I just looked it up, in fact it was build from 1557 to 1558

That’s the ferry building. Yeah lots of buildings in San Francisco are over 100 years old. Would have been more hadn’t the earthquake happened.
What always amazes me about these videos, is how there are absolutely no traffic laws whatsoever. Just people, hoses, cars, trolleys, and complete chaos. Yet everyone navigates flawlessly. Everyone seems to make it work with no apparent road rage. Lol. Just go when it’s your time to go or wait till an opening. These are so fun to watch.
Hard for there to be accidents when all the cars and trolleys are only moving about 10-15 MPH. No wonder there were so many deaths when they got faster, people tried doing this until it became so reckless and dangerous that crosswalks and traffic lights had to be invented.
@@aguy7848 That is BS. There are no accidents because back then people were allowed to think for themselves and responsible FOR THEMSELVES AS FREE MEN AND WOMEN. You totally missed the point. The absolute BEAUTY of freedom. VERY SAD. Sir... tyranny did not "have to be invented to protect anyone" in any way shape or form. It was thrust upon us by evil men shortly after this film by the FED (and bankers) in 1912 and grew into the draconian 1984 society we now live in. It is people like you who keep us this way because you cannot 'see' what is on the screen right in front of you.... BEAUTIFUL MORAL HUMAN FREEDOM.

Beautiful! And how many of these people would even dream that they might not be there the next week? These old films are a true treasure for professional historians or anyone who wants to take a trip into the past. Thank you.
This camera must've been huge, everyone is staring at it
They all knew about it, it was staged and they weren't supposed to look, but obviously many couldn't help it lol The kid waving probably got a spanking later ;)
@@angelsndaisies6188 no it wasn't staged. why would it need to be?
Even if it were shot on a camera the size of a phone, a novel cameraman would be acting odd enough for the time to draw attention
No, actually the cameras were even smaller than what they use today on standard motion motion picture sets. Can't you just say Hey Google and see for yourself before you post nonsense. It's takes 2 seconds. Not everything gets bigger or smaller through the years. It's a bit more complex than that. That's why you need to think. Try it sometime
@Han Lockhart But the video description says it was staged.
Random guy on the street thought: "Maybe a neural network can process my appearance in about 114 years, so i look better."
Hahahahahah
Amazing. Amazing. I live here now and have travelled Market Street many many times. The last shots were astonishing. Well well done!! What strikes me is how "chaotic" everything and everybody is, but that it all works. Nowadays we are all structured and constricted and everything is a mess!
380,000 people in SF back then also , Bakersfield and Honolulu are that size . SF Density now is a WHOPPING
18,000 per sq. mile
There is footage of Market Street after the earthquake, heading in the same direction,, taken by the same filmmakers. (A different TH-cam channel said the cameraman's name was Earl Miles and he was assisted by his brother. So this is known as the Miles Brother's film.) It would be amazing to match up and the improve those images and then match them side by side so we could see a color before and after of Market Street in 1906.
I wish I could see the video you speak of
@@darringraham2613 - I'm having trouble finding the entire film. I read about it a couple of years ago. Here's links to two news story that shows a bits of the film. I'm finding lots of references to it when I do a Google search and a fair number of individual images, but not the entire film.

What would be a nifty effect is if someone were to take the same journey today along the same path with a camera and film it. You could show the two movies side by side!
BTW, you could use a motion tracker algorithm to sync the two view.
On top of the de-blurring, some work could be done to remove the white scratch out scenes (with images from previous scenes)
There is. You can look up "Market St. then and now" and get a few results. It's hard to sync up though because there's proper traffic signals and the streetcars don't travel at the same speed. You could maybe do it by bike if you could steady the camera.
With the same camera lol
th-cam.com/video/WIHfmisMLOY/w-d-xo.html
Folks are really checking out the camera....
It's staged tho, if you didn't read the bio
Must be huge!
@@OutRunHNS Only the traffic is staged, the pedestrians are not. Apart from that, the film is still shot in 1906.
Well curiosity it was scares back then. Everyone just gets in with it no aggression bumping into people etc.hard times but fare I'd guess. America didnt suffer like Europeans during the two wars yes they joined but the general public never experienced bombings of their cities rations invasions etc. Peaceful land. Europeans were hardened to wars through history. Very intresting video.
I must go to america to vlogg one day. A great country.
The camera is mounted on a cable car. The people are looking to see if there’s room up hop on.
Thank you, not only for the amazing enhancement to the footage, but for all the background information about staging the shoot -
Dennis, amazing work. Thank you for your incredible video restorations. One suggestion: although the music is very welcomed, perhaps it could be more time-accurate. Might want to look up most popular songs from early 1900s or something like that. Although blues was around, it wasn’t prevalent in San Francisco to my knowledge, and electric guitar wasn’t invented for close to 40 years from this. Having more accurate music from the era would make it even more immersive. Just a small suggestion. Thanks again and please keep them coming!
I noticed that as well yeah
or no music at all cud be good
Why would you cover the original 114 year old audio with music? It completely missed the point of the video IMO
Lawrence Lentini it’s not 114 year old audio. It was silent film back then. Any and all audio you hear was added for this TH-cam video
@@thomasstogner4715 I wasn't aware of that.

The crazy thing is, no one bats an eye at him! Yet they are transfixed on the camera - nowadays it's the other way around, if you saw someone riding a horse in downtown SF it would be weird but no one cares about all the cameras.

It was normal back then, most of people had horses.
It was the Pony Express, racing to deliver an earthquake warning.

It's so strange thinking that this is how my great grandfather has seen San Francisco. Coming from a little city in Italy, alone and lost but ready to make money and give his children and his wife a better life!
This is beyond amazing. Thank you for this experience, I loved watching the guy in front camera. I was hooked. Started calling him 'my little guy' and was cheering for him and everything. When he hopped into the random carriage I saw his idea and waited till he reappeared in that carriage. I watched as they raced to the other end of the street, and when the carriage turned off. I waited for my little guy to reappear in font of the camera till it got to the end. When it spun around to face the way is came I was in awe of how it all looked. Then when it showed the four (4) days later I gasped because we don't know if my little guy survived.
Again thank you so much for this experience.

I believe this is looking down Market Street towards the Ferry Building--quite amazing to see the difference between then and the concrete and glass towers along the street now. I wonder how many of those buildings are still there.

Probable because everyone in this video is dead. I feel the same...

I never realized just how built up San Francisco was when the quake hit. And how many streetcars ran! It's so interesting how the pedestrians act with the wheeled traffic moving so slowly. So different from our fast, fast world. That last snippet was chilling to see.
Does it really make sense the this buildout could happen inside 60 years with the technology supposedly available back then?
@@joedirt6073 They were deep into the industrial revolution in an extremely well built-out city with a large population invested in rebuilding and you have doubts?
@@Shatterpath
I do...
When we're we told the first power tool was invented?
@@joedirt6073 Read about the history of construction. Sure there weren't electric power tools but they did have STEAM equipment - tractors to pull heavy loads, cranes and pulleys to lift things, and so on. Steam drills even figure in a folk song of the time, The Ballad of John Henry. You can look it up.
Think about it for more than two seconds ... how were huge projects like the transcontinental railroad accomplished? How were ocean-going ships built? How were massive bridges and tunnels constructed? This era was only 3 or 4 lifetimes ago. People weren't living in caves, they were educated and experienced, maybe not the same way we are but certainly not any less capable or intelligent.

I'm very sad that it's become too expensive for me and many of my friends to afford. Thank you for going to the trouble of reprocessing this video!
It looks like there were a lot of steam powered cars at that time. It's amazing we didn't see any collisions the way people and cars were darting in each others paths.
Those were the Tesla's of nowadays
Not that amazing, it predates most of the road rules we're used to, so all parties are generally equally liable for accidents (with slight bias in favour of pedestrians) Lower speeds, too. See also the crazy high traffic multi-way intersections in parts of asia with no controls at all with lower accident rates than many supposedly much safer controlled intersections in western countries. Not counting on anyone else to act in any particular way (other than perhaps to attempt to not get killed) because they're 'supposed' to, people tend to pay more attention to what the other traffic Is doing, and react accordingly (and also get more practice doing so, so don't freak out as much).

Удивительное ощущение. Смотришь на людей, которых давно уже нет. А каждый куда-то ехал, о чем-то думал, мечтал, куда-то стремился. А мы смотрим на них, и тоже о чем-то думаем и мечтаем.

Hey Denis This is awesome! I’m guessing you know that they sent this footage to their New York office just in time to miss the disaster, but did you know they also took footage from Market Street two weeks after? It was a lost film reel until it was surfaced in a garage sale a few years ago and was restored... It would be crazy if you could do that footage too and do a side by side comparison shot of Before and After the tragedy...
