This incredible video has been making the rounds the past few days. If you haven't seen it it is definitely worth the 8 minutes of your time. The footage was shot in 1911 by the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern on a trip to America. It has been cleaned up, colorized and even though the ambient sound was added for effect it all comes together so beautifully. Oh if we only had a time machine!
Here is the original footage which isn't too bad to begin with.
