I think the most fascinating ones are from places that you know well - for me that is places like Shrewsbury, London and Paris. Are there many Australian ones, mate?

What is striking in these videos is how fascinated many,many people of the past are by the camera itself - some staring at it for a very considerable length of time.

I love all the jaywalking. You realize they had no laws regarding it, and relatively little danger at that time. Pedestrians were still kings of the road.

I think they're mostly European and American, but I'll have a look.
