It seemed like mass chaos the way the people made their way around. Must have been a pretty big camera back then as you could see the people watching with interest as it passed. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22965576 Yes it's pretty haunting in the sense to see people looking back into the camera and realize they are likely pushing up daisies somewhere and have been for some time.... San Francisco was a gem port of the world... pretty big buildings. It is also a Spiritual gate of sorts into the nation.

Quoting: ChivalryKnight Rail cars are like giant ghosts. Women with the giant "flower" hats Fat police man with night stick walking the beat. i love this clip watched it many times ...so many near misses of people almost getting hit or run over lol .... This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car. The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there. (I'm also wondering ... how many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick up after the horses? Talk about going green!) This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from a recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered.... It was filmed only four days before the quake and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing but true! |
