Parisian woman in the 1920s - Restored Footage

Restored footage from the 1920s of a Parisian woman finding a seat in an outdoor sitting area in Paris, France. This footage was filmed by American traveler and filmmaker Burton Holmes. Holmes would travel around the world, record footage and would do travel lectures upon his return to the United States. It is reported he held over 8,000 travel lectures by the time he died in 1958 at the age of 88.

There really is something very touching about seeing these films. Souls who are no longer with us.

She died a long time ago, but her timeless smile was captured for us from a completely different generations across the world to witness this.

The curious boys and her sweet smile was so pure and innocent. May they all rest in peace ❤.

Its bittersweet when i see these video's. The music combined with just the sheer emotion captured.... Its truly timeless. It makes me feel melancholic, and introspective, knowing that these are people that are long dead, and yet watching this on my phone, its like their just close enough to reach out and hug.

I think it gets me, in the fact that it makes me think that sooner or later, they'll be a couple generations removed from us, watching how we lived, and they too will feel both at peace, and sorrowful, for people that no longer exist, in a world that no longer is.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Such a beautiful young woman. Wonder who she was, if she survived the war, and if there are family still living. So bittersweet to look back.

That's actress Pola Negri. She was a silent film star.

[waltersowell]

Each time I watch these timeless clips with that music piece it sometimes brings such feelings of peace and wonder.
Dare I comment, a "spiritual " feeling.

This lady has a classic 1920's look, her face and expression as well as her style. Very Parisian chic :)
