SAN FRANCISCO 1906 : COLORIZED FILM

So glad women no longer have to wear those trip and fall hazard long skirts!  This film and the previously posted one re New York could be about TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS - trolley cars, horse drawn carriages and carts, bicycles... but notice how chaotic it is.... People sauntering near trolley cars.... horses passing between trolley's. 

I have newspaper articles on ancestors who were almost hit by trolley cars and now I know why.

COLORIZED FILM OF NEW YORK IN 1911 - Love it!

 

Certainly helps one imagine what it might be for immigrants who were coming off those steamships into America for the first time, though they usually got on a train ASAP to get to their final destination.
