107 YEAR OLD FILM CLIPThe first track from Airs' Moon Safari album, accompanied by scenes from a video shot from a streetcar traveling down Market Street in San Francisco in 1905.
This film was lost for many years. It was the first 35mm film that has come to light.
It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car as it travels down the street. You feel as though you are there, standing at the front looking down Market Street San Francisco, an amazing historical film.
The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing!
The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there.
Before the earthquake/fire of 1906 destroyed the area.
Remarkable footage of the turn of the century lifestyles in California. Made by cleaverb!
