I do, too! Several relatives, actually. They looked very old and grim.

I found a modern photo of 4:52 online nearly IDENTICAL to the picture here and then put the two in a photo editing app (photoshop mix on my phone) and put each other on top of each other and then changed the opacity of the old photo, making it a slider to see the difference between then and now. The two pictures were taken in the same exact spot and height and angle. At this point I’m wondering if the photographer did it on purpose, and if they did, I salute them. I love doing this type of “before and after” comparison to other historic places I visit and to old family photos where I go to the same exact place, put the camera in the same exact spot, maybe even in the same space molecularly that the old camera took up was taken in the same angle and all to capture a near replica of the old picture in the modern day and then compare the two. I love seeing what has changed and what hasn’t between two photos and it sometimes feels impossible that the only thing separating the two subjects of the two photos are time. It feels like they aren’t the same thing but at the same time it does. Whenever I go to visit an old building from centuries past or see an object that old, I really hope that it hadn’t had any renovations. I know that they make the thing in question lasts longer but at that point, is it even still the same object/building if you’re changing everything about it? It’s like the ship of Theseus. You have a ship, and each year you replace a wooden board until at some point every single wooden board on the ship has been replaced with a new identical board. Is it still the same ship or a completely new ship? I hope that the stones and bricks making a building or the materials making an object from something centuries old is still the 100% original material or brick from all those years ago. If it were to be renovated, it just doesn’t feel the like it’s the same thing to me. If you see a picture of a 150 year old castle and see it in the modern day in front of you, what are the chances that one singular slab on the roof you are paying attention to has not even been touched since during the time of the photo? What are the chances that it has been replaced within the past 70 years? I always think about this so much but I’m not sure if anyone else has ever thought of anything similar to this. It annoys me and interests me to the ends of the earth. Sometimes I wish I could have a time machine and be there during that time. To us, a 200 year old chair is priceless, if it were to break, it would be like a tragedy, but if we were to time travel when that chair was brand new or a few years old, we wouldn’t care at all if it broke because it’s just s regular chair. Time can make anything valuable. Sometimes I apply this to the modern day. If I ripped up the paper in front of me, it broke a random pencil, I wouldn’t think much of it. To someone living in 150 years in the future, if they held that same paper or pencil, they’d probably be wearing gloves, or refuse to even touch it at all! Maybe we are living a historical moment that people from the future wish thy could go back in time to, but we just see it as our daily boring life just as we wish we could go back in time to say, the 1800s and experience a thing or two but to a person born during that time, they just think it’s just a regular boring day not knowing that EVERYTHING around them would be insanely valuable and historic in the future. EVERYTHING around us is definitely equally historic and priceless to someone 150 years in the future, you know what I mean? It’s great to think about the past, but we should also enjoy our moments now because it’s valued in the future. Maybe someone in the 1800s always thought about how life would be in the 1600s meanwhile they were living during a time I wish I could go back to and experience, meanwhile someone in the 2200s wishes the could go back and experience the 2000s, my current life. This also leads me to think about how our daily boring lives we think we are living are in reality treasured and nostalgic memories and moments to our future selves. If you keep thinking about the past, you won’t have memories of the present which gives your future self nothing to remember of your current self. So enjoy the moments right now because maybe in 20-30 years time it’ll be nostalgic; like how a person in the 80s or 90s thought they were living boring regular lives and are now looking back at those years as nostalgic years they wish they could go back to that’ll never be the same. Your future self in the 2040s or 2050s may be looking at your current 2020s self as the golden days and you may not know it yet until you can learn to comprehend this. We are all currently in the past when you think about it in that certain way. You may be reading this and thinking “my life sucks you’re wrong” but just let time do it’s thing and it’ll make any moment or physical object valuable. I doubt anyone has come this far to reading this but this is something I think about SO MUCH but can never speak of because nobody would really understand or care. This is what fascinates me to the ends of the earth. This is what keeps me up at night, filling me with curiosity and wonder. I love it so much. I live the concept of time so much. I just hope that one day I can meet someone who has been thinking or feeling the same way but I have yet to find that person on the same curiosity interest as me. I know that person would be my soul mate for sure. I have so much more to talk about time itself but this comment is probably my longest comment ever. I’ve been typing this for around 25 minutes at this point, letting my mind wonder off since it’s 1 am on February 4th, 2022. This usually happens, then I wake up embarrassed after seeing the aftermath of my rambling of my obsession of time. Anyway, hello to commenters from 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years in the future! Sometimes I see 12 year old comments and wonder what those commenters are doing in life now… maybe I can be that commenter with a 12 year comment with someone wondering the same thing to someone reading this in the future.

I absolutely love these photographs, because you can see just how closely linked we are to history, and how much we separate ourselves just based on time. The "Tartan Ribbon" looks like it's from the 50s, and the colored landscape looks like it was taken yesterday. Cornelius' photo looks like anyone else's, just with costume, and the single everyman from the 1830's in the street photo is breathtaking.

It's fascinating to think lots of these were taken only about 40 years after the French Revolution.

And AFTER that process is done, your consciousness notices that 'hey man, something happened in subconsciousness'. And at that moment you experience the feeling you describe.

There are people in this video who were born during the reign of Louis XV, for crying out loud (1715-1774)! Then, they were in this world when his grandson, Louis XVI lost his head, and only then they would testify the ascenssion of Napoleon! They not only were contemporaries to the Napoleonic wars, but to wars that today sound nearly "medieval", such as the War of The Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763), not to mention the french and american revolutionary wars, all long before the Napoleonic wars ravaged Europe!

Sadly I was waiting for the raspberry......

It is weird to see James Clerk Maxwell described as a Scottish "photographer", although I suppose it may not be altogether inapt. He was the inventor of color photography, but he is best known as a physicist who introduced "Maxwell's equations" concerning the interactions between electric and magnetic fields.

Something about that last photo is so striking. When we see old black-and-white photos, it is easy to feel disconnected from the reality of the past, because they are "historical", and on some level at least I can't fully imagine myself in the shoes of someone living in that era. But seeing a color photograph of nature and a town in 1877 is a potent reminder that we are still breathing the same air, going out to look at the trees, enjoying the sunshine, walking on the same Earth, living the same experience of being human. Of course, there have been many cultural and technological changes since then, but so much is the same, and I think it can give us a powerful dose of humility.

Fantastic collection of the many Firsts. I loved seeing them, all! The first color Photographs are incredible to see! Those firsts to now, the digital. I can imagine how those early photographers may feel seeing the present photos. Also it’s now available to even to the poorest of people. Truly, man has advanced a lot! Thank you. I have much enjoyed seeing.👍😊

Going through my great-grandma's stuff after her youngest son died last year, we've found photos from the 1880s. She was born in 1899 and knew her great-grandmother who was born in 1822 and died in 1911. Her and her daughters from the 1880s and possibly one of those daughters and several of her kids from around 1876 - we haven't confirmed that yet - are the oldest photos with a few others from the 1890s and early 1900s. Even some on the farm from the early to middle 1910s are pretty amazing and show just how far photography had come even though they are still century-old and more. We are incredibly lucky to have one part of the family that loved taking pictures enough even to have several dozen spread over about 40 years time, counting the family ones from the early 20s. It's really a celebration of life and the joy of family that I imagine many of these people who got their pictures taken had.

The quality of some of these is just incredible, considering the relative lack of knowledge of chemicals, etc involved & their age. Totally amazing!
