The YouTube channel Lost in Time has taken footage from the legendary Lumière brothers, originally shot in 1896, then upscaled and colorized it, giving us a chance to see a distant world through a modern lens. Nearing the end of the 19th century, the film pioneers (and their employees) visited different parts of the world and captured footage of life in Barcelona, Jerusalem, Venice, Moscow, Istanbul, Kyoto and other locations. For viewers, unaccustomed to seeing moving films, let alone far-flung parts of the world, it must have been a sight to behold. Below, you can see the different places featured in the footage, along with timestamps. To see what the original black & white footage looked like, visit this post in our archive.
