Stunning photographs, beautifully restored! I really enjoyed the show. I’m from UK and find them fascinating. 😊❤

Amazing and wonderful pics. Thank you so much, I really enjoyed that trip back in time x

3:04 - Aircraft carrier, 1899? Not very likely! Gustave Whitehead's first powered flight was two years later.

love the photos, hate, hate, hate the totally inappropriate music.

The coloured fotos are gorgeous and filled with life…a kind of archeology. All this is gone.

The annoying music ruins the video.

This stuff is eye-candy of the first order - great visual taste, thanks!

So clear and colorful, enjoyed it.

The "New York" could not have been an "aircraft carrier" in 1899, since the Wright brothers first flight didn't happen until 1903.

Amazing photos!!!!!!! 😢😢Nostagie pure

Very good! It's nice to see the colors as they could have been instead of shades of purples and peach.

The guy sitting in the car "trunk" was actually sitting in what was called a "rumble seat". It was a thing.

Beautiful. Such a joy to see these photos. More please.

Well Done! 👍🏻 Dream away by the past…😊

The photo at 11:18 is labeled as "Man having fun in car trunk". That's a rumble seat, it isn't a trunk.

Stylish era! Interesting people!

THAT IS NOT A CAR TRUNK , IT IS A RUMBBLE SEAT.

I love your channel! We've just got to do something about getting you better music.

Boxing match on an aircraft carrier in 1899? That's amazing since man's first flight was in 1904.... and aircraft carrier was officially launched in 1922. Also, that wasn't a "car trunk". That's a Rumble Seat. That was a small spare seat in back, behind everyone else.

The man with his family at the 2:00 mark is the great Walter Johnson. Unmistakable.

3:10 Pretty amazing that they were having a boxing match on an "aircraft carrier" in 1899 Considering that the Wright Brothers wouldn't make the first powered flight for another 4 years (1903), and the first actual aircraft carrier wouldn't be commissioned until 1922 (USS Langley) ...And there's never been an aircraft carrier named "New York"

At 11 minutes 21 you say -man having fun in a trunk -that happens to be a rumble seat. And you should think of using music of the period. Otherwise great pictures.

There wasn't an aircraft carrier in 1899 New York. The aeroplane wasn't invented until 1903.

Everyone, even children, ALL wore hats 🎩 👒

Hated the music choice had to turn off volume

One one pic 'jennys family at Penn station'? The man is Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson I think! Looks exactly like him. Hall of Famer, One of the best ever I guess.

Great photos but I love how they just come up with random years to go with pictures. For instance. I don't think they had aircraft carriers in 1899. The Wright brothers didn't invent the airplane until 1903 and the first aircraft, to actually take from ship was in 1911. I saw another picture from 5th Avenue 1899 with cars in the background and 1915 style fashion.

11:25 That isn’t a trunk. It’s called a rumble seat.

11:14 that was called a rumble seat.

I can look at each picture for 20 min. This is so interesting. Love the Electric Buses, Sight Seeing and Scooter in the early 1900's. Then, of course Big Texas Oil and Bush's, Exxon, Chase Manhatten got together to destroy everything.

There were no aircraft carriers in 1899...must of been a battleship or other type warship...You can tell by the heavy gun turret in the background....

Great work!

Liked the Pictures. Lose the Music. It's annoying.

Nagyon jó volt..!!!!!...SZÉP MUNKA..!!!❤🎉❤

Great photos but please. The music imade me have to turn the sound off

Times sure have changed!

Loved it!

21:18 “Thomas Edison next to his one of the first and prominent electric car.” Who wrote this caption? Drunk A.I.?

17:40 In the 1920s the Bronx was a thriving Middle-class “suburban” borough. This looks like the Lower East Side. Your caption batting average keeps slipping lower and lower.

Amazing fotos ... thank you very much ! Question : The picture "Ladies Crossing 33rd Street at 5th Avenue, 1896" is a strange one ... 1) The child inbetween the two ladies has a very strange face/hat ... !? 2) On the left side of the picture on see a man, and at the right side on see a strange lady without had or strange dress ... !? Could you explain this ? Thank you very much in advance ... Eveline from Switzerland 😊

Nice to know that the Bronx hasn’t changed one bit lol 😂

certainly looks clean for a time of no real sanitation department

Bright style….it would have been super…BUT that Rap music took away from the mood!

They really put a top hat and on the dog and gave him a cigarette. 😂

I also tried colorizethis on my bw family pics.

None of your music selections give the viewer that galvanic, jazzy feeling of New York City. Some of the last ones sound like Appalachian hillbilly music.

The music you put for this video doesn’t belong

You very rarely see footage of Black people on any of these channels. During this time NYC was chock full of Black folks up from the South.

WRONG MUSIC!!!!

I'm a photography enthusiast and not to diminish the work but somehow the colorization feels a little off. It doesn't match the reality I see with my eyes in general. Quite frankly, I prefer the original black and white photographs.

Ilike the images and instrumental music, but am not a fan of the loud vocals - senseless.

Too bad NY has been destroyed. Very sad…

HORRIBLE MUSIC...Doesnt match at all! 🤮

GREAT PHOT BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS PENN STATION.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aircraft carrier in 1899??????

Get better dated music.Good pictures!

Shame about the music

I would venture to guess there was little crime during those years compares to today.People seem very relaxed and peaceful. Perhaps better class of people then?

Just love the photos..............what's the monkey's name who picked the horrible music.

13:50 That can’t be a photo from the 1920s. The whole decade was under the vise of Prohibition. Keep up these lazy, un-researched captions and I’ll keep not subscribing.

Yep….and so many of them were IMMIGRANTS, they didn’t just arrive “American” did they? Also, terrible choice in music bro, WTF! 😤🫨🥴

1886 was not the turn of the century: it was still the nineteenth century. The turn of the century didn't really begin until 1900, though the pictures are entertaining!🫢

At 11:18, that is not a "car trunk". That's a rumble seat.

Great images but the video as a whole was completely ruined by garbage music. If only the soundtrack matched the images

Could have done without the ridiculous rap music in the first of it.

Great photos!! I could have done without the music, so of course I muted it. Too bad the exact locations weren't noted...

Love seeing the old styles of dress too.

FYI: There were no Aircraft Carriers in 1899.

The man sitting in trunk of the car was actually in a rumble seat.

Agree. Great photo's; like the colourizing. Frowned at " Boxing match on aircraft carrier New York 1899"?

Great photos and colorizing. However. sound track was HORRIBLE. Did not compliment the photos at all.

Just a couple of cute things first though if I absolutely love these photos, I think I’ve told you that before it looks like it took so much work and patience to compile this collection. I absolutely love it, but I didn’t notice a few funny things the little boy covering his mouth And share surprise when they were hauling off the wine in the one picture was very funny and also having a candy store next to the tent this office would be an epic fail picture in today’s world not to mention how beautiful the illegal immigrants coming over my goodness are they ready to apply For fifth Avenue jobs for a cry of what is coming over nowadays, but I don’t want to get too much into that now I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I love local history like this, thanks for sharing these restored photos!

Stopped watching once the rap started yuck

Thank you 👍

Buster out laughing on the picture of the two guys boxing on a warship in 1899, words written say taken on board aircraft carrier New York"..... New York was an Armored (Heavy) ACR-2 a cruiser, one step smaller than a Battleship, the warlords of the sea, and there were no, nor has there ever been an Air Craft Carrier New York,. Aircraft Carriers r did not even come into being until the near end of WWI, some 15 years in the future of 1899, .....Just history nerd funny to me maybe.

At the 3-minute point, there is an item re: "1899 aboard the aircraft carrier, etc. That'd be tough to do since the airplane was not invented until 1903. Also, just prior to that, there is what looks to be a 1908 model T in a picture that also states 1899. There are some GREAT photos here, but as to the indicated dates on some of these..... Well, they're off a bit.

Those “horse drawn carriage taxi cabs” were called Hansom Cabs; when one needed to travel he would “call for a Hansom”.

Evelyn Nesbit....now there's a "story of the century"!

Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉

"Aircraft carrier" in 1899?

These are not the oldest photos of New York. The earliest New York photo was around 1850....but the majority of photos offered here fall into the 1900 - 1920s period.

Lovely photos, our ancestors could be among those people in the pictures!! Even the 1980's seem nostalgic at this point... Who knows how NYC will look like in 2124 😦Time travel machine anyone??

Beautifully done photos! The man having fun in the "car trunk", it's called a rumble seat. The music didn't match the feeling of the photos.

24:11 Feel free not to mention that the middle flapper is Joan Crawford.

Great photos, but not "the oldest". Most of them are from the turn of the 20th century; there are photos of NYC dating back to the 1850s.

Music is too lively - distracts from enjoying the photos by competing with photos for our attention. Better to use background Muzak like in groceries and malls.

3:00 USS New York ACR-2 (Armored Cruiser of the Spanish American War 1898) July 3/1899 Boxing match.

And you put "rap" as the sound in the background? You even have to be woke in this. LOL....

There is an error near the beginning. The photo that says Jenny's family at Penn Station is really Hoboken New Jersey. Penn station has high level platforms. I am a New Yorker who grew up in NYC.

So, you ruin this by putting rap in the background. LOL....

03.06 aircraft carrier in 1899? this is a cruiser or something like that. look at the turrets

This was a nice way to end the weekend. The 1899 photo of Fifth Avenue makes me feel homesick for a time and place I have never been. Thank you, very much.

When I colourize a photo I do the WHOLE picture, not parts of it like you do. Many of your pictures contain lots of black and white sections you have ignored.

24:33 Neither of those two women looks like Louise Brooks.

as usualas on similar channels...music muted

At 23:46, is Henry Martyn Leland, my 6th cousin a few times removed.
