They stare into the camera, having no idea people from a century later are staring back.

[pathologicallyfriendly]

Some of the older people in this clip met individuals who were born in the 1700s when they were younger. Some of the younger ones heard The Beatles

[anna-rexia]

A lot of those youngsters went on to fight in WW1.Imagine the horrors those poor kids had seen thought out their lives. Bless them

[n.b]

The children being silly making faces at the camera. So innocent and adorable. Wonderful smiling faces. Can't help but smile back.

[moonshapedabsolution]

This feels like two audiences observing each other across time. One from 1901 England staring through the strange device at the one that is worldwide from 2021, who are staring back through their own devices.

When I started work in a care home aged 16 in 1985, there were several residents over 100 years. Eldest was 105, so born in 1880. He'd be 21 here. It really is mind blowing the changes they must have seen. I feel privileged to have spent time with them

[aea]

I love how everyone starts smiling immediatly when they realise that they are being filmed

[dkuhs]

I love the young children . The young boys especially laughing and mugging for the moving picture camera . Little did they know that after they were gone people in the 21st century would be looking at them . They make me smile . What a picture from the past ! Thank you for posting!❤

This is so fascinating, all these people didnt know that they are looking straight into the faces of people who are living 120 years after them, so epic

[fearlessandfar]

It’s wild to realize that all these people, every single one you see, the adults and the kids, have all passed away. Damn.

[rogeriopenna]

"Those poor children workers had no childhood"

Considering a good part of them probably died in WW1, they had no adulthood either.

This is 1, 000, 000 times better than any book or lecture, you feel infinitely closer to the people in the film, chances are that some of us watching are even related to them and I think it's really nice that all these people are immortalised in such a way!

[pOpCoRn]

The one behavior that hasn't changed: people goofing around in front of the camera.

[lafosse]

I can't believe all those faces are dead today. They would have never imagined that in 2020 some random peruvian guy sitting at his COMPUTER at 11pm would be watching them with awe.

[Cesar-pqck]

Why do I find this addictive? I’m fascinated by it, as fascinated as they are seeing the camera. It truly feels like time travel, like we’re looking at each other.

[shiro]

I love how despite the horrible living conditions everyone remains to dress elegantly, and also I love how everyone acts either classy or goofy when the camera is pointed towards them 😭

[humanbean]

This is uncomfortable. Feels like they're staring into the future at us while we stare into the past at them.

[Thedeso]

It’s kinda creepy lol it looks like they are just astonished to see us as we are to see them.. feels like they’re looking right back at us... wow

[herniebadlautner.]

there's something incredibly otherworldly about this. i've dreamed of time travel all my life, as i'm sure many people have, and this is the closest thing to it that i've ever experienced.

[rcadium]

As history buff and gamer, I wish in the future they'd make VR of you walking around in the 1900s and see how it was back then.
