Haarlem 1912: City Restored To Life In Amazing Footage

Time travel back to 1912 and the city of Haarlem, Netherlands Europe, with deep learning AI colorization. Experience the sights and sounds of a bygone era. A mesmerising time capsule. Between 1899 and when this film was taken in 1912, Haarlem like most small cities began to feel the effects of modern technology. The motor car, and the electric tram were pushing the horse and carriage off the street. In 1912 however a typical day was still marked by the chimes of the carillon bells of St. Bavo church. Cobbled streets lined with quaint Dutch houses, their facades reflecting the rich history and culture of the region. The sound of horses hooves mingling with the screech of trams. This is Haarlem, nestled in the heart of the Netherlands. Industrially, the city hummed with activity. Factories emitting plumes of smoke that mingled with the crisp air of Haarlemmerhout forest. Horse-drawn carriages, their clip-clopping hooves a familiar melody now mingled with the electric trams. Amidst it all, the occasional motorcar rumbled, heralding the dawn of a new era in mobility. The fashions worn in Haarlem during this time would have been more utilitarian and less influenced by the rapidly changing trends seen among the wealthier classes. Economic constraints would have dictated choices in clothing, favoring durability and practicality over style. Women would have likely worn aprons to protect their clothing while they worked. These aprons were often made from sturdy fabrics and were an essential part of their daily attire. For children, especially girls, dresses were the predominant choice of clothing. These dresses would have been simpler in design compared to those worn by wealthier children, likely made from practical fabrics that could withstand the rigors of play and daily activities. Accessories such as hats, shawls, and scarves would have also been common among both women and children, providing both warmth and a touch of style to their outfits.
