NYC Historical 1911 Footage

Historical 1911 Footage
Daily Life in New York City
Taken by a Visiting Swedish Film Crew

by Lori Dorn April 16, 2018
Old film of New York City in the year 1911. 
Print has survived in mint condition. 
Slowed down footage to a natural rate and added in sound for ambiance.


In 1911, a Swedish film crew from Svenska Biografteatern came to the United States through New York City and captured beautifully clear footage of daily street life in the burgeoning American metropolis along with every mode of transportation available at the time. YouTuber Guy Jones, about whom we’ve written previously, skillfully restored this footage with appropriate ambient sound.


**Holy sugar** I just caught the 1st F%$$K YOU on camera!! 
5:10 In the lower left a guy gives the "ITALIAN SALUTE" LOL TFF. He's A Vintage BOSS!!


Century-Old Film Footage
Edited to Present a More Dynamic View of New York City Life
in the Early 1900’s
Videographer Guy Jones edits century-old film to more accurately match the video standards of the present day. For the black and white clip of New York City in 1911 shown above, Jones slowed down the film’s original speed and added ambient sound to match the activity seen on the city’s streets. The subtle additions allow for a more engaging experience when viewing of the 20th-century footage, and presents the urban milieu in a more realistic light.
This particular film print was created by the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern during a trip to America, and remains in mint condition. You can see more of Jones’s edits of films from the late 19th-century to mid-1900s, like this video of Victorian street traffic galloping down the Champs-Élysées, on his Youtube channel

As a reminder, The New York Public Library's Bloomingdale branch will close for approximately 15 months beginning  Saturday, February 2019, to undergo an over $3 million improvement project. The branch is scheduled to reopen in 2020.
During this temporary closure, patrons are encouraged to use two nearby branches:
  • Morningside Heights Library (2900 Broadway, Manhattan), which will hold Bloomingdale Library's local history files.
  • St. Agnes Library (444 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan), which will offer one-on-one computer tutoring and host the Bloomingdale Library's knitting and sewing circle.

To further accommodate the community, Bloomingdale Library is partnering with community organizations to continue branch programming in the neighborhood throughout the temporary closure, including the Children's Aid Society located at the Frederick Douglass Community Center (885 Columbus Avenue), which will regularly host baby lap time and toddler story time.
Please continue to check our website for the most up-to-date information.
The Bloomingdale improvement project—funded by Mayor Bill de Blasio, The New York City Council, New York City Council Member Mark Levine, and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer—includes a new dedicated teen room that will allow teens to talk, engage in group study, use computers, or work independently without disturbing other patrons. The project also provides much-needed upgrades to the second floor restrooms and adds new drinking fountains.

This important project—which will ensure that Bloomingdale Library can best serve New Yorkers now and in the future—is part of a significant investment in the branches by New York City and The New York Public Library system.

Yours,

Kimberly Spring
Associate Director for West Manhattan Neighborhood Library Network
