Amazing quality. Not grainy at all like a lot of old films tend to be. Note at the end on the bridge in the distance there appears to be some kind of urban commuter train going across being pushed backward by the engine at the end of the train. Not something you see every day.

Take a break from election overload I wonder how many of the little boys playing in the water would die at Flanders.
Or how many of the little girls in the dance would die during the Blitz?
...Of the battles, the largest, best-known, and most costly in human suffering was the Third Battle of Ypres (21 July to 6 November 1917, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele) in which the British, Canadians, ANZAC and French forces recaptured the Passchendaele ridge east of the city at a terrible cost of lives. After months of fighting, this battle resulted in nearly half a million casualties to all sides, and only several miles of ground won by Allied forces. The town was all but obliterated by the artillery fire...
...By the end of May 1941, over 43,000 civilians, half of them in London, had been killed by bombing and more than a million houses destroyed or damaged in London alone...

Cool. By chance I stumbled upon
this on YouTube a week ago or so. It's an Edison cylinder recording of the poet, Robert Browning from 1889.

That’s amazing, thanks for sharing. Kind of eerie when you consider that every person in the video is now dead. It was way too short though, going searching for more old footage like this!

Oh wonderful! I love the little moments- kids being kids, people hamming for the camera. Priceless!

Since there's no sound, I used it to once again prove my theory that any song can turn any footage into a music video that fits perfectly.
Randomly, my ITunes was playing an old Bob Dylan bootleg song, and it was a perfect match.
