Boston, Massachusetts: Rooftops and Street Scenes from the Late 1940s 1947, F936a

Some 16mm colour amateur footage of ordinary scenes in Boston from 1947. This includes scenes taken from vantage points on rooftops and ordinary streets scenes. This includes the Hotel Kenmore, Copley Square, and some footage of the Bunker Hill Parade.
I believe the photographer's name was Louis Epstein.
This has been frame by frame digitised from the original Kodachrome footage at 2048x1152.

Fantastic! That era was early teen years. Remember it all so well. Such an innocent time, relatively. Thank you for memories.

Thanks. I have lived far away from my beloved home town of Boston for twenty years.

Some of this footage runs backward, you can tell watching cars go in reverse on Memorial Drive.

Well spotted, there is a little section that does that because I wanted the rotation of the pan to remain constant. It looked awkward the camera panning left to right and then right to left in the edit without this.
