That was a great collection of photographs. I am a Canadian of Irish heritage. My brother recently visited Ireland. He said a few dozen times while there, he was sure he saw our mother standing on a street corner. Of course it was not actually her, but it was a real indication of our roots. Thank You again
@@sylvias.7048 there are many jokes about Irish and how distinctive our looks are haha. I am really happy the video was enjoyable for you thank you for the support.
I had the same experience when I returned in 78', I kept seeing my aunts and brother and sister pass by. The locals must of thought me rude for staring, lovely and kind people that they are
Another great video. I initially came to this channel for the Irish stick fighting, but I had no idea I would find absolute gems like this. I think the everyday aspects of life are the most important to remember, and I'm grateful that photos looks these were taken when they were. Go raibh maith agat, Nathan, for sharing these. This was an unexpected pleasure.
@@Thorne_MacGregor my pleasure mate. My aim with this channel is to shine a light on aspects of Irish history that get ignored and these are a good example. I really appreciate the kind words too.
It's amazing how much of it slips in with Irish clothing from the North and west of the country from 1450s onwards. Of course not the same, but many similarities.
@@IrishMedievalHistory I would love to do an in depth research on shawls and mantles in Ireland. The wool trim seems to be so reminiscent of the brat so I have always wondered if there was a connection.
Many thanks for showing these. I've watched the clothing and footwear changes over sixty years. My great grandma came from Cork,and grandad from Towney, Kilcar Donegal. They emigrated to the States in 1855 and 1849, meeting and marrying in NYC. Rural Cork an Donegal photographs and traditions are fascinating to me.
Knowing how hard English colonizors tried to stamp out traditional Irish clothing, its awesome that elements of it persisted well into 20th century. The dress and tasseled/fringed shawls remind me a bit of pre-16-century drawings of the fringed brait/cloak and embroidered women's dresses. Even the saffron pipe band uniform is a neat call-back to pre-invasion Irish attire. Kilts are technically Scottish, but the bright saffron color and cape pinned at the neck remind me of the leine and brait. I wonder if you'll ever do a video on the history of pipe music in Ireland. Bagpipes and war pipes seem to have a really long history but its hard to find info on the topic.
@@jthecryptid for sure kilts are a very confusing mess when it comes to researching them and the Irish revival led to a lot of attempts to make an Irish kilt. As for pipes they are fascinating but I agree music in general is such an under appropriated part of history.
If the red dress and cloak is all one piece, this would be the same garment called an earasaid in Scotland. (Although the earasaid was usually a large tartan sett with a white base.)
There are some images of men on the Aran Islands wearing very wide brimmed hats with lifted/tilted brims, very much like what most would imagine a cowboy hat to look like, very intriguing
I'm glad to have lived in Ireland after prosperity. I have come across abandoned cottages where the occupant died destitute and even the bed and clothes abandoned as on his last night there. I lived in Africa where people are poor, but nothing matches poverty in a cold wet climate where you seldom see the sun.

Fascinating video! Thanks!
@@artawhirler my pleasure thank you.
Beautiful
@@catherinelennon4804 they really are some amazing photos
Wonderful. Thank you!
@@dwuagneux you are very welcome

@@eh1702 would that be similar to the great plaid?

@@jcJones02 yeah some really interesting clothes from that part of the world something I want to do a deep dive on eventually
Very interesting, thanks for the video. This channel is great
@@diegomdonola7188 thank you mate I really appreciate it
I recall people in Donegal town dressed the same nearly in 1964, shawls included. 1978, big changes, by 1997, they were wearing trainers!
@@kilcar yes things changed massively in the 90s
Around 78 was the death of tailoring in Ireland. Trade deals. Cheap clothing. My Dad was a tailor.
Is it just me , does the Claddagh Village Cailin look very Spanish ?..
Amazing photographs
@@maebh123 it is a very distinctive look isn't it
hank you for making and posting this!
oh i meant *thank
@@goblinwizard735 you are most very welcome
Great channel. Any chance of a vid about the rapparees?
@@chrish1657 thank you and yes I can definitely do a series on them a lot of interesting material there.
@ramblingkern awesome, as a Hogan I'm hoping you'll cover galloping Hogan and Sarsfield 👍

@@JohnBurman-l2l yeah there is a special kind of misery in that situation I think people don't appreciate.
? Link to this photo collection thx
@@klyanadkmorr apologies I had meant to put it in the description I'll put it in there later.
Одличан рад. Управо сам сазнала за Алберта Кхан нашавши његове фотографије Срба из околине Сарајева, 1917.
Amazing I saw some of the Serbian photos in the collection and they are really cool.
The first color photos of Ireland. From what, 1968?
@@davidhull1481 as said in the video from 1913
@ Yup. Sarcasm detector faulty.
@@davidhull1481 hard to tell via text mate.
@ I know, I was referring to the internet’s, not yours. No harm intended.
@davidhull1481 all good mate
TRhese colour pictures and film were created on his own color film.
Truth be told, in some ways it looks like a better time.
@@Outrider74 it's easy to romanticise but there have been a lot of positive changes over this hundred plus years since the photos were taken.
@@ramblingkern Oh, I have no doubt. Poverty's not a fun way to live.
It wasn't. Those are the villages my Granny and grandpa came from. So, I can see why they left for South Boston, to raise a family!
Slainte mhath
