London, Petticoat Lane (1903) und The Open Road (1927)

Zwei außergewöhnliche Film-Dokumente aus den Jahren 1903 und 1927. Ich finde die Qualität beider Aufnahmen wirklich bemerkenswert.

Sunday morning in the East End market.

This fascinating film provides an authentic view of London’s East End from over a hundred years ago. Flat-capped men flow in a Sunday morning tide down Middlesex Street – better known by its unofficial name, Petticoat Lane – just as they have for generations.

London was the final stop in a marathon journey around Britain filmed as a series of cinema travelogues. Pioneering filmmaker Claude Friese-Greene brought these picture-postcard scenes to life with a specially-devised colour film process.
