It's funny how we think of black and white lacking vitality... There's a silent feature film simple called "It" from 1927 and I was blown away by how alive the characters and actors were. It was the first silent film that felt just brimming with life, almost contemporary - quite different from most of the other silent black and white films I have seen. It's a lovely movie which I would highly recommend

For all we know they might have been wearing quite colourfull clothing in deeper shades that read as black or dark gray. We know from extant examples and advertisements of the time that they did like bright colours, especially as they moved towards the 1910's.

Or even worse, the people who want to sell you stuff will notice you and single you out. I should know, I’m danish, I wear colourful coats, I’m being commented on regularly.

Have you ever thought that one morning when you leave the house you will open the front door to find everything like that ? Amazing video and good that you can see the difference with those days. Blessings to you. .

That's so cool-incredible footage. This is mostly around Christiansborg (the Parliament building), Thorvaldsens Museum (20 sec), Børsen with its characteristic spire, and Kongens Nytorv. The 'ladies selling fish sit down in the left-hand corner if you freeze at 24 sec. On your left is the 'Kanal which is the waterway around Christiansborg, which is just to the right of the building to the right (where you've just passed Thorvaldsens Museum. Looking straight ahead is the old Hotel Royal, which is - I believe - at that time the headquarters of some newspapers and still hosts the first telephone central in Copenhagen (founded in 1884, I believe). My great-great-grandmother owned the hotel for a short period of time a couple of decades before this footage was taken. Hans Christian Andersen has had tea in the restaurant in the cellar of the building. The tower to the left is the Skt Nicolai Church, without the spire which it has now. The statue of the knight on a horse, which can be seen in the left edge halfway up, is Absalon, who - legend has it - founded Copenhagen around 850 years ago (archaeological evidence contradict this bug beneath the present Christiansborg, you can see the remnants of what's called 'Absalons Borg. At 27 sec, you can see the small fishing boats in Frederiksholm Kanal, with the statue of Absalon just to the right behind the cinematographer. The boats were there for centuries - if not a millennium. This is very close to where the origin of Copenhagen must have been, and the last boats left less than half a century ago. The shots of the ladies selling fish (30sec - 1min) are all taken there - at the small fish market. The next shots of Børsen (the old 'stock exchange') are taken looking south towards 'Christianshavn,' which is where you'll go to find Christiania today. The building at 1.10 is Holmens Kirke, the church where many of my ancestors were baptized, married, and buried. At 1.20 were at 'Kongens Nytorv' looking north towards 'Frederiksstaden' where the Kings (now the Queens) Palace 'Amalienborg' is. To your right is 'Nyhavn' - a tiny 'harbor' with wooden ships, where people go and have a beer now. When this was shot, you would find less 'affluent' clientele there. At 1.30, you're on what is now 'Strøget' the central pedestrian street, looking towards where 'Storkespringvandet' now is, and with 'Højbro Plads' to your right (where the Absalon statue is). The building in front of you is where 'Café Norden' is now. Hope this gives a little perspective if you're going to Copenhagen someday. .'

It's crazy to think that this was shot back in 1906 (the same year my grandfather was born), and I can still recognize many of the streets and buildings there.

Trip around Copenhagen is an overstatement. Circling the "Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn" would be more accurate. But that aside, a really impressive work restoring it.

Loved this! Thank you!

I grew up very close to those places shown in the clip. Fascinating that many of those buildings which are today 'classic architecture', were rather new then. A lot of them are much older - but quite a few were build around the end of the 19. century

I think the reason people nowadays tend to see these clothes as "classy" is basically just because of associations we´ve formed growing up from real life upper class old people and from historical movies depicting mostly upper class people from these times, etc. if you want to delve into the world of historical clothing i would highly recommend Bernadette Banner as a good starting point, and you will soon be recommended videos from a bunch of lovely creators :)
