From what I’ve read, a lot of those layers were made out of cotton or linen so they were light. I always wonder how they kept cool in the mining towns down in Arizona in the summer. How did anyone survive over 100 degree weather for weeks on end?
I’ve been watching your videos, and I think what really makes them unique is the added soundtrack. It’s natural and realistic, not dubbed in music. Good stuff!
A living time capsule. Absolutely breathtaking work to recapture an ordinary moment and make it immortal. A typical woman represented here would have had a child, who would have had a child, who would have had a child, who would have had a child, who would have had a child that is now having a child.
I am age 72 and only recently retired. When this was made, my grandmother whom I knew well was a newly graduated nurse. Within a couple years she would marry a Mr John Gibson and became a Gibson Girl. My mother was born in 1923. It was not so long ago.
The reason for them being dressed so well is that they knew that they were going to be filmed. It was quite a big deal back then. You will see it alot in old photos of women in factories.
_I don't agree, they will be intested to find out what happened in the past watching images on a screen and reading, as many of us like to do nowadays._
That thought always weirds me out!!! Though it’s likely that there will be so many upgrades to technology people could use at that time to do something similar to what was done here? The most futuristic I could think of at this point would be some kind of AI 3D experience of the videos we’re posting now?
_All those people who appear in the video could not imagine that in the distant future we would be able to see them, at that moment when they were being filmed it would be unimaginable for them, however, we have the privilege of observing their gestures, their laughter and even their serious faces._ _In 120 years the same thing will happen, it is not at all strange that there will be people who will want to know, to investigate, how we dressed, what our gestures were and how we related to other people. It will not be a waste of time for them, just as it is not a waste of time for us, it will always be a pleasure, everyone has their own distractions, which the rest of us might consider boring or a waste of time, but that's life._ _It is clear that technology will be much more advanced than it is today to do that._
yes but they had a very limited number of job opportunities..also most likely all the women in this video would be single (notice they are all young and in roughly the same age group) ..once they were married they would stop working and take care of the household while the husband supplied the income..lots of want ads from that era specifically required the women to be single ..also there were age limit requirements for women....the exceptions would be widows.. during WWI (10 years after this video) more women went into the workforce...during WWII a huge amount of women entered the workforce..both times were due to fewer men were available to work since they were overseas fighting..by the 1950s most women did not work..it wasn't until the 1970's that women finally had more job opportunities (partly due to the ERA) and started entering the workforce in large numbers again.. NOTE : Women finally got the right to vote in 1920 (16 years after this video) ..due to passage of the 19th amendment..
These videos, although it is real work, is not accurate depictions of true working conditions. Cameras especially footage was very expensive, so to film a promotional video for work, these women were most likely dressed to impress and lighter working conditions. Still a neat blast from the past though!
My great aunts would’ve been working in the factories in New England about this time. I suspect the noise in these factories was deafening so there probably would not have been a lot of chatter..
Back when women looked like women, men looked like men! Women would wear dresses, men in suits. They always dressed so nice even if it was just going to the store! I love these videos! Thank you Glamourdaze for these time travel videos!
keep in mind, these are more than restorations, and colorizations. they are altered. the faces on the people have been changed. look at the original b&w film. the faces are different.
In 120 years what kind of technology do you think could be use to transform our current videos like this? It’s likely that there will be so many upgrades to technology people could use at that time to do something similar to what was done here? The most futuristic I could think of at this point would be some kind of AI 3D experience of the videos we’re posting now?
assuming something like the internet still exists the current videos will most likely be lost since between now and 120 years from now billions and billions of videos will be uploaded... it is also possible that babies born in the next few years may live to see the year 2144
I would think the machines made more noise than the reenactment sound, overall, but clearly they were talking to each other without much effort. I suppose they were making some sort of wires.
@@bosquedehayas1889 I understand that)) but when I try to transfer this beautiful historical video to our world.. it makes me understand the depth of the deepest HOLE of that time...
Sad to think how many of the those ladies and girls had to hike those skirts on a daily basis to keep those positions. Excelllent work on the restoration, but there was nothing glamorous about factory life in 1904. I think Westinghouse would have at least had some form of childcare on site so they didn't have to have infants sitting under them while they worked. But in many factories of the time, babies would be in bundles under the workspace. These were not the good ole days, that is just historical revisionism to cover the brutal and terrible nature of the industrial revolution at that time.
No, the industrial revolution was in full force in the 1840's by the 1880's there gave now childcare and laws starting to be enacted to determine the times of work, minimum wages and workers' benefits.
The term “gilded age” was coined by Mark Twain in a book set in America talking about the American society at the time. This time is just known as the late Victorian to Edwardian period in the UK
Tiens mais on nous a vendu que les femmes ont dû attendre le féminisme pour avoir le droit d'être les égales des hommes et d'avoir le bonheur de pouvoir travailler à l'usine. Nous aurait-on menti ? 😉
Happiness in works 14-16 hours at day, with a lower wage than man, etc? A video of barely 1:30 minutes it's only like an equivalent of a TV spot, but for the cinema.
