It's amazing how a business suit was the everyday norm.

I feel a deep ache like homesick when I see these. Thank you for them. It’s like deep loss.

Closest thing to a time machine....getting a real glimpse into the past

Such a very noticeable difference in the pace of life compared to today.

Look how people carried themselves. No phones, no internet, just walking at your own pace in the moment with just your thoughts. My consciousness feels homesick for videos like these

No one on their phones while they walk. Just enjoying life and the thinking that comes with it. So peaceful.

[sirxanthor]

Wow, sidewalks and tracks totally clean back then!

Good old days, people used to walk with sincerity and simplicity.

I like nostalgia wanting to go back to the past and the future full of mysteries between space and time.

[HowardEllis-sj]

The men who built all the modern marvles of our world throughout the eighteen hundreds are the real heroes of this country

Makes me feel nostalgic for a time I’ve never lived .

[FoxyVoxy]

Amazing that this is even before the Titanic set sail.

[deddygiririndjani]

[WarBrickproductions]

To think I met someone who was alive when this was recorded, Mind blowing

[FelixTruvere]

Imagine not having a cell phone to be buried in, instead much observing, participating, & appreciating life around you.

1911, one person decided to walk a road and another person decided to record that road and here we are more than 110 yrs later seeing that exact moment when both person were in front of each other
