More Rare Photos From History
I hadn’t previously seen the majority of the photos in this 11-minute video. Many are colourised for effect, and that works well. As well as the subtitles, there is some commentary explaining them.
Despite the rather sensationalist title of the video, none of the images are particularly distressing or upsetting. (In my opinion.)
US Civil War 1861-1865: Colourised Photos
I have seen thousands of photos taken during the civil war, but these carefully colourised photos really make the subjects come to life. The video is short, at only 6 minutes.
Victorian England: Moving Pictures In Colour
This is one of my favourite finds online. Film images taken in the late 1800s in places around England. Street Parades, funfairs, seaside Towns, as well as shopping districts and markets, public transport, and busy traffic. It also features the many different social classes of the time, from workers to wealthy landowners and dignitaries.
The original 9-minute film has been carefully enhanced for video, providing some amazing detail, and also colourised for full effect.
