Cool thing about living back then, other than the black and white, was that there was always a bassoon player in the background.

A lot of those kids in the 1905 films likely went on to become World War I veterans.

A lot of those kids went onto become worm food during the Great War.

Plus all those lovely smells from the horses and the unwashed masses.
Good thing color film was invented.
Without it the world would be in black and white. I think it happened around 1938 when someone went over a rainbow.

Fascinating, and thanks for posting. I just finished Barbara Tuchman's The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914 about that exact era. The world these kids lived in was changing rapidly and would be unrecognizable in only two decades. Great stuff.

My grandmother was born and raised on a farm in Norway in 1884. (So maybe 20+ years behind the US at the time in terms of technology??)

She came to America alone at the age of 17 with no friends or relatives to meet.

She died in 1982. She would always tell stories, and say how she must have lived in the most unbelievable time in the history of the world. No grow up with no electricity, no running water, etc. and to live to see men on the moon!
