Historic Travel US-New York A Century Ago (2-DVD): Historic Travel USNew York A Century Ago 2DVD |
| Product Description : Ever vibrant and throbbing with life, New York has always been a photographer?s delight. Social and cultural events followed in quick succession, and there was a lot to be seen and recorded on film for fun and for the sake of posterity. This rare and unique set of DVDs presents a valuable record of the city and its many faces in the early part of the 20th century. In an era when motion pictures were still in their infancy, the company took upon itself the noble responsibility of filming historic events and preserving them for later generations. Most of the films you will see are brief records of events and places in New York between the years 1898 and 1903. This was the time when Biograph made history by scoring many firsts - the first to film the pope, the first to be contracted by the White house and the first to make a movie in Hollywood. Fascinating footage of the harbor, elevated trains and chaotic city streets will leave you enthralled while some breathtaking shots of the waterfront from boats and the top of the Brooklyn Bridge will astound you with their beauty and clarity. These DVDs are arguably among the best preserved records of New York?s history form the early part of the 20th century and hold your attention with their charming pictorial records. I have no doubts that anybody who decides to add this set to his or her collection is assured of a delightful and rewarding examination of the history of one of the World's most charming cities. |
