Amazing New York in 1910 in color! [A.I. enhanced & colorized]
A very interesting film about life in New York city more than 110 years ago. The original title of this film is “New York of Today“ and was made by the Thomas Edison film company in 1910. It shows scenes in the more affluent parts of New York whereby a young couple is being followed by the camera from the moment that they leave their luxurious hotel until in the evening as they travel by a “Seeing New York“ car for tourists. Among other they visit the Coney Island amusement park.
For more information, see the time line (draft below).
This film has been motion-stabilized, drastically speed-corrected, restored, enhanced and colorized with modern video software based on A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).
Music: Howard Harper Barnes & Trevor Kowalski.
