Welcome back. The Big Apple, Metropolis, The City That Never Sleeps: In my years of research, I’ve steadily been accumulating the rarest photographs of New York City which I could find.

Now, with even more pre1900 photographs being provided to me by you the viewers, I’d like to share with you today a compilation of the oldest and most unique photographs of New York City from my collection.

I’ve tried to select photographs that I have not seen shared on other videos, hoping to help add my own two cents to the discussion, and give everyone some fuel to their research fire. These are my absolute favorite photographs of New York City; photographs from 1860 through 1960.

I hope with this research we will help inspire new conversations over the grand architecture of our past. There will not be much of a narrative here beyond the 8minute mark, however this will be a deep, detailed dive through hundreds of images.

Feel free to play your own music, or enjoy the sounds of Goodlander, Drumstick, and Urban Instrumentalist. Thanks for being here. Without you, these videos wouldn’t be possible. Please leave your thoughts and comments about Old World New York City down below, and let me know which specific images you would like to learn more about in the future. Please share this important video if you enjoyed it!
