People who looked innocently at the camera even didn't think a hundred years later how valuable their looks would be for us.

That was probably the summer of 1914. A few months before the First World War started

War on the horizon.. an innocent game and pleasant afternoon.. 100 years later we are transported back to that moment.

My grandparents were 22 and 19 in 1914. They died in 1979 and 1980. Both wonderful people.

They are so beautiful and so aligned, this was the age of charming. Sad we lost this grace and poetry.

I am so grateful to see these. Life was so much more respectful and dignified back then. People are animals now….rude, arrogant and no class.

This one was extra special; one of my very favorites! So clear and realistic, as though you're actually a spectator, watching them pull. Love the hats and skirts/dresses. Thanks😊

Throughout the rest of human history, this is as far back as we’ll ever to be able to “see”, with our very own eyes, our ancestors. Among the first generation of video.

[nicholasselvaggi]

These videos always warm my spirit. We appreciate what you share. Thank you. 😊

No cell phones, no television, just face to face communication. I know two wars and a depression were about to happen to these people. But still, how simple and relaxing this would have been.

And to think, it didn’t matter who won, only that they were all together.

كم هو الجميل ان ننظر الى النساء المحتشمات في ذلك الزمان😢

[madhusudhanakadaru]

I'm shocked! Was this film made in 1914? 😮 It's very lively and beautiful. The people are amazing.
I can feel it! You took me back 110 years.
😊❤ Thank you so much!

احببت كثيرا لباسهم وقبعاتهم كلهم يبدون سعداء لمتهم هاذي نفتقدها اليوم لان الاجهزة الالكترونيه فرقتنا في عصرنا هذا

I really like this music, its very soft and relaxing.

[octaviolineros]

Todo suena como a nostalgia y la música te da esa sensación...esos fueron grandes tiempos y también muy trágicos...

[whitetroutchannel]

"and on that idle hill of summer", the world was probably no more than a month away in changing forever

[lemonadeverbena]

Fashion still polite.. No vulgar or half naked ❤
