For some reason, I get a kick out of omnibuses and loved watching the jerk and sway of those that passed in these clips.Katherine Khttp://katherinekeenum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-62341365003878084312013-09-07T08:04:27.819-04:002013-09-07T08:04:27.819-04:00Lovely film!

I've looked through the clips and most women seem to be very comfortable and not at all tight laced. Or were all the women working class?<br /><br />BettyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916744458001771039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-19568054391653039132013-09-06T15:04:16.155-04:002013-09-06T15:04:16.155-04:00Loved it!

Though they might not have been at any of the locations filmed, this was everyday life when my grandparents were in elementary school.<br />Loved the Eric Satie music. I just would have chosen a different recording.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-46581851358374929172013-09-06T13:56:19.538-04:002013-09-06T13:56:19.538-04:00Enjoyed that, and actually felt the music was peac...Enjoyed that, and actually felt the music was peaceful, rather than sad. Very Septemberish and nostalgic.<br /><br />Thought I saw Brighton, too, and wonder if a scene was shot in Turkey, as well as Egypt.<br /><br />The people on the donkeys, each with a boy driving the animal, was interesting.<br /><br />Noticed many women in Europe wearing shirtwaists, without jackets over them. All working women, or could non-working women also go out without a coat or wrap?<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />Natalie<br /><br />ZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-3422592549947832842013-09-06T09:25:22.916-04:002013-09-06T09:25:22.916-04:00Was Brighton in there?

I really loved the giant ric-rac on the suit of one of those London ladies.Scrapianahttp://www.scrapiana.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-30488786089507519662013-09-06T08:01:01.800-04:002013-09-06T08:01:01.800-04:00Guess at order: France, Britain, Venice, Egypt st...Guess at order: France, Britain, Venice, Egypt starts at about 4:30? The end of the footage seems to be taken from a train -trains seem to have come to Egypt in 1854.
