Time travel back 124 years to experience a typical day in New York city in these AI restored early films made between 1886 and 1904. Colorized and upscaled to 4K 60fps using deep learning AI.
AI breathes new life into New York at the dawn of the 20th century. Early motorized automobiles and electric trams can be seen scooting by horse-drawn carriages, which had been the mode of transport for hundreds of years.
Vintage clothing fashion for women in the 1900s was also on the eve of a revolution. American women are fondly remembered by the term "Gibson Girl" - the vernacular for Edwardian era fashion. In this film women are still seen walking about on the New York streets long trumpet skirts, and feminine shirtwaist blouses, held in shape by corsets. The fashionable hairstyle of the day was the 'pompadour.' which became fashionable again in the 1940s and the 1980s.
Landmarks of New York in 1899 to 1904 include:
The skyscrapers of New York - Hudson River (North River.)
Interior N.Y. subway, 14th St. to 42nd St ( opened in 1904).
Broadway & Union Square, New York.
Lower Broadway.
New York City "ghetto" fish market
New York's Lower East Side.
Panorama of the Flatiron Building.
At the Foot of the Flatiron.
Twenty-third Street, New York City.

The Restoration Process:
To bring old silent 16 fps footage to life, several processes are typically employed:
1. Colorization: Using advanced algorithms and manual techniques, black and white footage is meticulously colorized to recreate the original colors of the scenes. This process involves extensive research to ensure historical accuracy.
2. Upscaling: The footage is upscaled using sophisticated algorithms to increase its resolution while preserving as much detail as possible. This helps enhance the clarity and visual quality of the footage, making it more suitable for modern displays.
3. Interpolation: Interpolation techniques are applied to increase the frame rate of the footage, smoothing out motion and reducing the choppiness inherent in low frame rate silent films. This involves generating additional frames between existing frames to create a smoother, more fluid motion.
4. Adding a New Soundtrack: A new soundtrack is composed or selected to accompany the footage, adding atmosphere and depth to the viewing experience. This may include background music, sound effects, and even dialogue or narration to further immerse viewers in the historical context of the footage.
Overall, these processes combine to breathe new life into old silent footage, allowing audiences to experience the past in a more vivid and engaging manner.

    • ???? Personal transportation has almost nothing to do with heavy construction work. You might ask yourself if Buicks and Toyotas have any connection to building a modern skyscraper. In the 19th C. materials were transported by train and massive wagons. There were big *steam* powered cranes, excavators, lifts, and even drills and riveting machines. Remember that buildings as massive as the US Capitol were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. NYC's architecture is impressive but certainly not impossible.

    • The reality of those times was not your dream of politeness and gentility. Some people certainly lived that style of life, but there was a lot f poverty, racism, exploitation of workers, disease, unsafe and unhealthy housing, and plenty of violence. Luc Sante's book "Low Life" corrects your idyllic fantasy, as does the work of Jacob Riis. Check them out and be glad we've moved past that era.

The difference is, the CULTURE was far better all around….people knew the difference between right and wrong and respected themselves and others enough to not go to the local store in their pajamas and slippers or wear their pants down to their knees with their arses hanging out. My dream, however far-fetched, is that the days of respect and decorum will someday return. Probably not in my lifetime, tho.

  • My Great Grandmother, Mary Hester Crow (Born 1869)was in NYC in 1889 as an early post-grad of Ohio Wesleyan University studying Dramatic Reading at the Cecil B. DeMille school for Dramatic Arts. It was during her short 1 year stint in the Big Apple that she met a ladies undergarment salesman from Missouri, fell in love, went with him to Los Angeles by way of her family home in Delaware, Ohio where they got hitched. I never met my Great Grandfather. He passed young-widowing my Great Gran at 48. She lived to almost 101. Got a commemorative plaque from Mayor Sam Yorty and a letter signed by President Nixon. She saw the invention of the airplane to the moon landing. By comparison, it doesn't seem that much has transpired in my near 70 years.
