Amazing video quality for 1911. Luv the ladies in their Edwardian clothing. What a mix of modes of transportation. A shame NYC tore up their street car network.

Was there one man in the entire movie not wearing a tie?
Compare that to today's NYers ...

Odd. My granmother, born in 1888 in a small town in illinois, grew up in a world of horses and carriages. She also saw Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.
Mackinac Island in Michigan is horses only and it is really beautiful. I recommend it highly.

That is fascinating to watch, thanks. Love the clopping of the horses.
My uncle used to live across the street from the Flatiron Building; I didn’t realize it was around way back then - relatively new at the time.

It's a bigger shame that NYC didn't sink into the Atlantic

What a stunning contrast! Pre-Liberal New York City looked like a pretty decent place!

Didn’t know we had soundtracks in 1911.

Back when people ate real food. No obesity

MUST see video.

That was the year my mother was born. I guess we’re two lifetimes away from those scenes.
