I remember a few people on here having an interest in old pics and movie clips. I love sites like Shorpy.com and looking at old photographs. I also love looking at really old video clips from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

So I was reading this article the other day and came across this YouTube channel and fell in love with this guy's work, and thought I'd share. I can understand why historians aren't necessarily fans of it, but it's still cool. Keep in mind these videos were from the 1800's and early 1900's and upscaled using AI/neural networks.

The faces of people long long-gone are mesmerizing, especially when you think they'd never think people 110-140 years and much later would be watching them.

A ride through New York in 1911 :

This is a video I shared a few years ago, I think, but he upscaled it. This is the one of a trolley ride through San Francisco a few days before the great 1906 earthquake.

There's an unrealistic, but cool quality about this video. Almost like a video game :

One of the possibly 2 oldest videos ever recorded ... upscaled :
