[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

Thanks for the great pictures and for giving us time to read the captions

[@SuperChicken666]

You know you're old if you look at the photo of the "Hollywood Boys Choir" at 11:52 and can name them all.😊❤❤

[@patchdavis35]

Aced it! I'll be 72 next month. Uh, HOWARD COSELL? "Howard" did HE get in there?

[@Franciscaharrison1978]

Send babies through the post????

[@a.banks.7682]

No matter how poor, middle class or rich the real supposed environment.. everything just looked like it was built with such quaility or were inventions of guenuine uniqueness back then. Even when looking at the various people, most of them, just seem to look, a lot more healthier and well put together, even happy and very determinedly motivated, than people are today. There's a great energy, I feel, many of them possess. No matter what the circumstance, they are photographed. I am also astonished at the clarity you find in most of the images photographed. I feel it from the many images.. like they all deeply lived.

[@653j521]

Wow, you really put your own feelings into pictures of people just like us, and you see them as being very different. Wish fulfillment.

[@a.banks.7682]

Oh yes.. If that was your goal? You most certainly did accomplish that. At first I wasn't going to comment, but as I went through, I felt it so strong and saw the essence of being full of real life and joy and living energy, exude from the images. It was like wow! I want whatever they are drinking/eating/ thinking. And no matter how many pictures on Instagram, Facebook etc., people create and display there is something (an energy, a spirit.. something) truly missing in modern folk and modern life now. No matter how much people dress themselves up, in this time period, that essence of living or having lived, it's just not there anymore. Or I'll at least say rarely. Anyway I really enjoyed. I will check out more of your work. Great job!❣️

The photo that impacted me the most was of the two men of the 101st Airborne on June 6, 1944 (dressed as Apaches) getting ready to parachute into St. Mere Eglise, France. My father, Captain Robert L. Jackson, was an Army Air Corp. pilot of C47 named "Eightball" assigned to drop the 101 and 82 Airborne parachutists on that day and the two following days during the D-Day Invasion at Normandy, France. I am writing this comment on June 6, 2024, 80 years later. Dad's remains are in Arlington National Cemetery. He was one of the Greatest Generation, along with these two men.

[@graytabbygehrke1352]

Marie , l wish your father could have been in Normandy France for the recognition of the Greatest Generation. I only saw it on tv but it was very moving. These men were indeed the greatest, not only the parachutists but all those who paid the ultimate price on land and water. The survivors had life long horrors . One gentleman passed on his way to Normandy, he was 102 years old. I wish I could have given these strong brave old guys a big hug and a kiss on the cheek ❤ War is Hell. I wanted you to know that others grieve also, some, like me, don't realize what this is all about until we are also much older and have also lost. Bless you 🙏. Thank you for your message.

[@JeaneneEnglish-tf5gv]

PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME & MY TWIN SISTER JENIFERS DATE OF BIRTH IT'S, (6/6/66) WE FEEL PRIVILEGED TO BE BORN ON THAT DAY. WE JUST TURNED 58 YEARS OLD. IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE BEEN BORN ON THE VERY DAY THAT, YOUR FATHER & MANY OTHER'S WERE MAKING THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S FREEDOM'S THAT SO MANY PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED. I SALUTE YOUR FATHER & ALL OF OUR VETERANS WHO FOUGHT ON THAT DAY SO THAT WE CAN BE A FREE NATION. SALUTE❤️🤟💋♊😘

Can you imagine sending your toddler to a relative via mail present day?! The child will never make it to the destination! A different time and different human society over a hundred years past.

@@graytabbygehrke1352 Yeah, my thought also. "Oh, you lost my kid in transit? Oh, how awful. Give me the form to fill out for compensation for lost "valuables"."

[@lindickison3055]

A relative of my grandmas (ca 1912) put his 2 kids (under 10) in a crate to send them by train to an aunt a few towns away! My G-g- grandpa found out- rescued the boys- and took them himself to their destination.😮

[@darlahenri8095]

Enjoyed viewing parts of history. Thanks

The man lying on motorcycle with so much exposed skin breaking the speed record. Imagine the road rash if he had an accident.

[@patchdavis35]

I believe he was going for absolutely lightest weight on the vehicle. Ballsy move, though!

[@seeWheat]

My tip... Don't think you should play sad music with old photos. It just deeply conveys how dead the past is. It's never going to be the same, EVER.

[@MugOfHotTea]

This isn't sad music. It's deeply evocative and in parts, quite lovely.

[@jazzinit4u]

"a family photo" 1800..spooky 😲😨

[@hyapathia]

creep me out😳

[@niatoftager472]

Me too

[@franepetric4615]

As for this first photo, the clothes in the picture were worn in the period from 1900 to 1914. Women in 1920 wear shorter dresses, there are no more big hats and their hairstyles are shorter. So this photo was definitely not taken in the twenties.

[@phylliscook-se7mx]

Beautiful photos and music

[@debbieedwards4884]

It's always good to look back on these photos.😊

[@colddose9636]

the mother with hidden face, because she's dead, this photo is for the child - a way to remember and hold onto moments with their loved ones who have passed. usually family take pic with their dead babies too

[@deirdrejones5974]

Those weird camouflaged mother photos were if the family just wanted a picture of the child and they were too young to sit on their own. It’s sort of ridiculous. But yes, people did photograph and even pose with deceased relatives sometimes.

[@delmaplain5358]

I was afraid would be something like this. thank you for the information.

[@4LuvOfGAIA]

I saw it on another video and they said the child was dead.

[@patchdavis35]

My mother, born in 1918, was an artist. I remember watching her painstakingly "colorize" black and white photographs for clients, using q-tips and her excellent eye for hues. Several of these types of photos appear here, bringing back memories.

[@MaggieLogue]

One of my ancestors, Buster Keaton is in here.

[@gary3696]

The kid jumping the bike that was modeled after a motorcycle. I had one just like it about 1964, his is missing the plastic "motor" that made the Varooom sound..and BTW, the was the name of the bike, Varooom. I broke mine in half doing a similar jump trick, can still see the scars.

[@alpiekaar]

Peter Papalia (see wall ad at top left) was a newcomer pharmacist in NY. He'd eventually retired to AZ and die at age 98, in 2004.

Greed, Godlessness & an "everyone out for themselves" mentality.

Lost the ability for LOVE & something called GREED …… that’s 2 of 1000 things within the human condition.

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Being an ex soldier the John Hale photo really got to me. We owe our freedom from the Nazis, to the sacrifice he, and many like him made on that historical day of June 6th 1944. And to those who fought on and died right up to the surrender of both Germany and Japan.

So powerful pictures! They got lots of sense❤

Positively terrifying.

[@selinamorrison9275]

Great video - thx !

[@carolynskelly4763]

I couldn't pick one. There were many impactful photos. What a treasure. Thank you.

[@hyapathia]

guess again look at the arm she wasn't the mother she was a slave and they didn't want their daughter in a picture with the black woman that's why they covered her face and she's got her hand under the girls skirt but it doesn't cover all the arm and you can see that the arm is black. back in the day when people took photographs with the dead they did not cover the dead face that was the whole point of taking the photograph

[@karlmuller6889]

Ich mag alte Bilder und Fotos ❤❤

[@psefti]

17:18 the man who first started putting expired dates on food.

[@karensimons9260]

I am guessing that, in the photo "Mother (hidden) and child" that the mother was dead. That photo will be the only tangible evidence the child will ever have of its mother😥😥😩❤

[@rosapanther8466]

That is not true. If she would have been deceased, her face would be shown. The reason she is hidden is, that they wanted to photograph the child, but children don't sit still long enough for the photos to be taken. Most children do sit still(er) on their mothers laps, but since only that child was supposed to be on the photo, the mother would be hidden

[@MartinThomas-m1g]

Then - Everyone Slim. Pictures now - sacks of human lard shuffling along. Yep, the Food Lobby has Won!

[@lindachristianson196]

Great phots! Thank you.

[@cydkriletich6538]

The photo at 4:15 from the late 1800’s of “A Family” with an old woman, an incredibly spooky, blue eyed old man, and a curly haired toddler is downright scary! The old man looks dead, and the kid appears to have 7 fingers on the right hand! Yikes!

[@abpccpba]

Wonderful Pictures great variety. Thanks

[@judysowell290]

Great pictures. Ya know... it strikes me that women - so often - never stop to ask themselves... "Does this hairstyle suit me?" NO. They just blindly follow the crowd. These pictures stand as a testament of just how bad and unflattering women's hairstyles have been through the years.

I would like to know how short that baseball player is because even at 240 right after I had my daughter I did not look nearly that heavy. Not to be rude but I mean, I weigh around 215 now and I can wear size 8 undies and a large to extra large tee shirt...he looks like he would need a 3 to 4 X.

Pablo Picasso's shot..add a little mustache under the nose.. resemblance is uncanny!

[@rattus3102]

Why was the mother, posing with their child, covered in many old photos? 🤔

[@RevLeigh55]

That has never made sense to me either. Why would she not want to have a photograph of herself with the child?

[@rattus3102]

@@RevLeigh55 I suspect it was done because back then it took a long time to take a photo. Perhaps that way the child was not distracted of the mother's face. But that's just my thought😊....it could have been for another reason.

[@annettemalet2758]

It was a Post Mortem picture. It was hard to pose the children that had passed. The mothers held the children and hid behind the curtains. So the picture is about the children and not the mothers. At least this is what I thought.

[@hartubmoses6645]

That poor child on the hidden woman/mother looked sceptical and unsure about it. While the scene may be innocuous, back in those times there were people that took pictures with their dead. I just hope nobody did that to the little girl.

The censors would not allow her navel to be exposed! A lot has changed since then.

[@cydkriletich6538]

That 1967 photo of Robert Kennedy is questionable. He died in 1968, a year after the given date of the photo, but the person in the photo looks extremely young, like a teenager. Also, though it looks like a Kennedy, it doesn’t, imo, strongly resemble RFK, Sr. Could it be one of his sons?

At 18:13 the farmer is driving a tractor not a combine. While combining oats and threshing oats accomplish the same thing they are not the same activities.

[@Starghost1999]

The funny thing about that car crossing that river on cables is that apparently it wasn't a big deal, since the people in the water are ignoring it and pointing at something more interesting not shown in the pic! No matter what it is humans will acclimate!

[@sandibhere2471]

Wld b more interesting if instead of music we cld have a narrator. I don’t think many of us are speed readers

Wow! Beautiful and sad.

[@hensonlaura]

I can not stand colorized photographs. How dare someone take another person's work and decide they're just going to alter it?! That's bullsh*t, It's wrong, it's destroying art. People who are too simple-minded to be able to look at a picture without it being in color can't understand what they're seeing anyway.

[@patchdavis35]

Well, like I replied to an earlier post, back in the '50's, some people could only afford B & W film and prints. My mom then could make a few (badly needed) bucks colorizing them to be kept as family heirlooms. She did a great job of it, too. Lots of hostility from you over something so innocent.

[@brendadion7868]

Colorizing the B&W photos detracts from their original beauty. With the absence of color, the photographer's art is in understanding, manipulating light and shadow to create the essence, if you will, of color. (in my humble opinion) ❤Thank you for these!

Some are certainly not as I’ve seen them long before AI. Obviously the color versions were either hand painted or colorized using other techniques some time after the images were created.
