This Wednesday’s video comes from the Romano Archives , this footage of New York city shot in Kodachrome color film in 1939 by French tourist Jean Vivier is in impeccable condition and offers a rare look at NYC.
Stray Observations:
- 5 cent pina coloda!
- bring back the stair busses
- Rockefeller plaza looks the same almost 75 years later
- Women in 1939 did not dress as differently from women today as one would think, check out the hair turban on the lady at 1.35, back in style.
