They had no clue that that individual moment of their lives would end up being preserved in perpetuity and viewed by people 100 years in the future, thus allowing their existence to continue long after their physical bodies ceased!? It is like a time capsule and the closest thing we have to time traveling…at least I think!

Así era mi bisabuelo siempre de traje y sombrero impecable...❤

An absolutely brilliant colourisation. Flesh tones, everything spot on, together with amazing clarity! Well done!

[tazzyninetyfive]

Reminds me of my grandfather, wow what a strong man !

[Winsome-ni]

Oh my………..❤😊
Thank you for these precious moments in Time……

I love those vids. It seems like it was yesterday, when the films gets colorized. And at the same time it reminds me that soon we'll be the ones in a vid that people look at and wonder how life was back then!

Still remember my late grand-father in France. He was not rich, but always well-dressed. Bring tears to my eyes. And those hats! He took part in the war in 39. Spent 4 years in a camp. The poor man came back completely broken.

Crazy to think I just made eye contact with someone over 100 years ago

[maggienbob]

To thhink that this was taken over a hundred years ago, you know the 2 gentlemen have long since passed.
It would be wonderful & amazing if their family/descendants could see this.

My grandpa would’ve been in his 20s at this time. What I would give to see an actual video or even a photo of him back then ♥️

كم امم مرت في هذه دنيا سيأتي يوم يشاهد لناس عصرنا يستغربون كما نفعل يوم يا الهي كم نحن صغار في كونك العظيم🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

He's like "What's that strange object he's holding"

Just incredible to watch each and everyone of these videos: Outstanding job people

When did people lose their style after this beautiful era?

[ekoado]

This music puts me in meditation mode…thoughts on the existence of life.

[Thewanderingwalter]

They would be horrified.
If they were brought back to today and seeing what Paris has become.

[m.susandenton]

The music that you have for your presentations are haunting, but beautiful. 💖

Looks like the gentleman is drinking a whiskey sour. The stirring part and looks like a lemon slice or something in the glass along with the stirrer. Kind of crazy he looked directly into the camera lens 😢

[erikeippel]

Looked right at it and didn’t even recognize it was a camera apparently

[aarondaniels]

They had no idea what a cell phone or text msg. Speaking in person was exciting then
