Morning Bath-1896/Baby Crying-1892

[lorileeky]

She is rough as a cobb on that baby

[AIKevorkian]

How did they get the actual sound on this ancient film? Considering "Talkies" didn't show in theatres until the late 1920s. Edison was a true master!

[WorldEffigy]

Lizzie Borden giving a kid a bath.

[grofys]

wow, there was no messing around in those days; take one baby, a tub of soapy water and scrub!

[Boudiga]

Poor little guy! Baths use to be cold back then, which is why most kids hated taking them.

[FreeBlago1]

This baby COULD be alive. 115 years old is more than normal for some of the oldest living people.

[vahahon]

Scary ending, the baby looks like he's transforming in deamon

[ClassicHorrorDB]

Quickly pause at 1:49

you can clearly see a skull there on the very right of the screen

[sophieleighc]

@ClassicHorrorDB Bloody hell you can as well. Foooook

[ClassicHorrorDB]

Quickly pause at 1:49

you can clearly see a skull there

[niflap]

That baby's baby died of old age.

[bcguy216]

The baby would have been one of the oledest people if still alive.

[laura20022004]

Thank u god for whoever invented movies

[DamnationsEnd]

Nigga please

[418sadeyes]

This is such a darling vid...Thanks for sharing....

[911savetheanimals]

Well my grandma is 95 and was born 1916 and is still alive.

There is woman in the middle east that has been proven to be 120 years old meaning she was born 1891 which is 5 years before this video was made (and she again is still alive and has the documents to prove it). So yes it is possible that a person from the year this video was made could still be alive but only a couple in the world. - Oh you can google the lady from the middle east she looks healthier than some 50 year olds i know!

[kloratis]

@911savetheanimals this is bullshit

[chanctonbury63]

Was that the real soundtrack? It cannot be.

[laksemann]

@chanctonbury63 Why not?

[chanctonbury63]

@laksemann Only on the basis that film at that time appear never to have sound accompaniment although the ability to record sound had been.

[actorjdwilliams]

@chanctonbury63

The movie was filmed in 1896.

The sound was recorded with a phonograph in 1892.

The phonograph, first machine capable of playing and recording human voice, music or sounds, was invented back in 1877.

[Nuttymutts]

Racist people are sub-human and well under-educated.

[666IAMBACK]

obama's ancestors

[macroevolve]

Creepy. The woman was probably a slave.

[animefuntime88]

@macroevolve probably was but not when this video was made. they had been free for well over 30 years by 1896.

[lenamay521]

OMG to everybody that thinks these are kinda creepy I always feel the same way too watching these old vids!!!!!! Didn't think anybody else did. Knowing that all of these people are dead and stuff it's kinda crazy to think. But at the same time, they're so fascinating seeing stuff from back then. Love it! :)

[normandyangel]

finally some black ppl..wow this kinda scary

[twarren8178]

its crazy to think that this baby would be the oldest person in the world if it were alive now

[CanduGirl0123]

Oh, so the White people get the faster moving films while the Black people get the choppy one with the horrible quality? I see how it is...! XD

JK, this is cute though. <3

[dixiewife47]

OH God.. lets all throw in the race card here.. lol.. Its history here dudesl chill out on the hatred and insults.. 

[dbvalentine]

Racist comments only draw attention to the USA's SHAMEFUL history. This is priceless footage. The birth of cinema.

[DalekQueen]

is this the real sound???????????

[MrMethadrine]

creeeepy!

[coldbrewbeer]

gotta be clean when you serve the white folks nigga.

[Talentz92]

@coldbrewbeer u idiot if u was white in those days u'd be lucky if u even had a bath during the month u dirty fuck.

[MrEnajiza]

@coldbrewbeer fukn inbred

[ShareYourUnderwear]

Lil black baaaaa-be. Lil black baaaa-be boy.

[MrOutlawCountry]

get back to your cotton pickin

[sonicadx]

@MrOutlawCountry slavery ended b4 this video was made in 1896

[mankyhorsebox]

Poor little black baby, may your spirit haunt all of those who dislike this video!

[shartallover]

@mankyhorsebox :But maybe they dislike it because it doesn't look fun.Something to think about.lol

[amonvillo1]

Somewhere in America, there is an old creepy grave - an guess what...

this baby rests in it!

[malmaid28]

Poor baby!!! I feel sooo sorry for it. The sound is obviously a fake, but I think the real sound was not really an other. The wrong handling, the colossal amount of soap in the water - that's all not child-friendly and not baby-friendly of course! I hope for the baby, that this procedure was not done every morning. Horrible!

[isedarah]

I feels sorry for the infant too. That baby is not being held correctly and I'm sure those soap suds are burning the eyes. The woman, probably just a girl herself is obviously unprepared for dealing with infants. Historically, this may be worth something, but I wont' watch this again!

[Alienmad462]

sounds fake

no sound for film back then

[0Blue0Sparkle]

mommy held me too hard -__-''

[Lemon020202]

I WISH CAMBRAS WERE INVENTED IN 1600'S INSTEAD IT WOULD BE MORE FUN TO GO EVEN MORE BACK YAY!

[boyscoutmomx5]

This was an intereting video but the mother in me is going crazy. First, that baby is crying because he is very angry or in pain. I just want to leap across the years and calm that poor baby.

Second this woman has no right to be touching a baby let alone washing it. Half the time she isn't even looking at the poor mite as she yanks it around. If the first baby was mad or in pain, I bet this poor sweet baby would have out screamed him.

Poor babes.

[Lemon020202]

@boyscoutmomx5 first off thats her kid. thats was how they did things back then. its fucking 1892. calm down! 117 years ago...they handled things just fine, its today thats the problem. We are all here aren't we. do your history

[gwolb]

If this was shot today, it would be considered child porn.

[zap1692]

fake sound

[thescorpionking2020]

that baby was 4 years older than my dead great grandfather lol this is amazing

[Sorcererno]

that baby is DEAD! :(

but in all seriousness, it's amazing to watch old footage like this.

[Spagettieater9000]

its like hearing a ghost

[leafyutube]

That baby is now 118 years old.

[tinofilipino]

@leafyutube

and that lady? 138 to 148 years old?

[Wavedude21101]

@leafyutube gappy birthday . XD back in his day we didnt chucie cheese or lasertag. we didny have no xcube (xbox) lol

[Stroheim333]

The worlds first blaxploitation movie.

[CarlosJulio20]

Of course! THIS IS A 3gp FILE! OH YOU SILLY EDISON! USE .AVI NEXT TIME!!!

[Portis1Luv]

R.I.P. lovely ones.

[CitizenGatsby]

Well, that was disturbing and creepy. I was thinking, No wonder the poor baby was crying with the way that woman was manhandling him. :( Then I noticed the 2 separate dates... Ahem.

Still, it's pretty amazing to see a film from 1896 and hear audio from 1892!

[PROPHETICPRODUCTIONZ]

@CitizenGatsby You do remember what was going on in those days dont you?

The mother of that child was probably scared to death and nervous as hell given the lack of morality toward African Americans. Im surprised she didnt drop the child. It was common for Men/Women to assaulted without cause and without recourse.

I dont think you meant to imply anything racial or malicious, just some perspective.

CIAO!

[CitizenGatsby]

@PROPHETICPRODUCTIONZ Oh yeah. Absolutely. Those were the bad old days for African-Americans, for sure. Of course, that isn't to say that the scourge of racism—institutionalized or not—has been eradicated today or anything... Unfortunately. :(

And you're right: I didn't mean anything malicious or racial in my comment. I appreciate the perspective, though. Thanks for sharing!

[InmortalAngel1]

it´s so creepy!

[xxMVxxBIGBOYxx]

look at the rack on the mom

[GR4NDTH3FT4UTO]

I like the part where theres audio! because you know, audio wasnt on film until 1928 or anything.... assholes.

[GetBentley]

@GR4NDTH3FT4UTO The audio was recorded in 1892, the picture in 1896. Asshole.

[hunnedfourthstreet]

this is creepy..but amazing footage..

[vintagechica82]

Poor baby!

[JamesTKirkCobain]

She is not bathing him, she is preparing him for cooking.

[KillerTeddyBear1525]

it's cool how they were able to get audio on here...1800's man!

[postdesrapides]

I believe these people are African-American. So if we are talking about the early introduction of cinema, this is another part of history!

[ZSaberToothTigerZ]

Better than uweboll

[draven26]

I thought the earliest Film was from 1895?!

[spocksmusic]

@draven26 - the Lumier family made moving pictures a "new thing", but the first film experiments actually date back to 1888 in both the U.S. and France (not counting Ed Mybridge). Edison's kinetoscopes were fairly popular as far back as late-1893 to 1894. By then, there were already dozens of films but it really didn't take off until the Lumiers new camera/projectors in 1895 and 1896.

[Lemon020202]

@draven26 NO, I did some research and alot of the films were destroyed sadly! because of not knowing how to preserve them back in the day. I believe the first video/film was around 1878-1885 I know there were pictures even older then that. I have seen photos from 1849-1869! they had pictures, but normally the very rich used them.

[aardfay]

aaaahhh horrible

[RobertsDigital]

The first black kid ever recorded on tape?

Must be Obama's father's father

[aardfay]

@RobertsDigital --'

[RobertsDigital]

@aardfay lol

[Lemon020202]

@RobertsDigital you mean...great-great-great-grand­mother or father

[RobertsDigital]

@Lemon020202 father

[didi182dede]

kinda feel sorry for the kid....

[weirdoguy101]

Holy fuck that's creepy but beautiful! How does it have sound when it was made in the 1800s?

[BritishBroom]

@weirdoguy101 I think this video overlaps the film from 1896 with a separate recording (probably wax cylinder) from 1892.

[BadgerinSC]

And people say kids were better behaved in the old days. Imagine being on a train or steamship with that racket! ;)

[artsygirl96]

uuuuh O_O are they black? I cant tell.

[TheRussellicious]

nice racist jokes, 4chan retard

[artsygirl96]

I'M BLACK, IDIOT. SO STFU. =.=

[TheRussellicious]

black which hate other black very weird

just like Uncle Ruckus

[evil300]

@TheRussellicious lol he says he has the opposite of mj LOL

[piromaniac9999]

wtf? didn't they have no sound back then?

so was the baby sound added later?

[fyphfoko]

i think the film was made 1896, the sound recording 1892, and the marraige of the two just before this video was uploaded :D

[odog65]

@fyphfoko how come we couldn't have done this with films in the early 1900's. what was the set back ? I also wonder about film technology of the late 1800's I noticed they are like under 10 min or so were they not able to sustain anything above a certain time frame.

[NiallMS]

Hardly!

[arrafatter]

200???its 118 or 117 dumbass

[TheRussellicious]

nevermind retard

[TheRussellicious]

Now bang your head to your keyboard

Nice crying :p

[stubbyguy]

Someone please report her to DPS for child abuse!

[olebaj]

i never knew babies cried the same way then as they do now!

[TamaGirls]

just realized that baby is way dead. its older then my grandpa

[KillaCamRon360]

@TamaGirls yeah not unless it lived over 118 years

[RobertsDigital]

@TamaGirls of course the baby died long ago

amazing isn't it.

In the next 300 years from now people will be reading our comments left on youtube...

[AIKevorkian]

@RobertsDigital I never thought of it that way, but God, you are right. We are truly the original analog-"cross over to digital" generation. Will they have our comments and opinions in say, 2315 A.D.? I hope so. One thing I am about certain of is: All our 8-tracks, cassettes, and VHS tapes will decay away by approx 2050. CDs, DVDs, and even mp3 files will wear out and become useless by approx. 2120. -A.I.Kevorkian

[RobertsDigital]

@AIKevorkian Michael Jacksons thriller started of in an audio cassette media.

But today his thriller music has been transfered to a cd.

Now from Audio Cds its on MP3s

Same thing as in the future. When they invent new storage media/devices they will transfer them from blue rays/Dvds to whatever type of advanced storage devices they will have in the future. They wont necessarily decay like that because there will also be future softwares to clean up

[Shadowhawk25]

That baby is death now.

[Apjooz]

You mean it's the Grim Reaper?

[Shadowhawk25]

@Apjooz A little bit

[JiS01]

The first nude film ever!!!

[justinerocker13]

This is this is the only old old old movie that i find a little scary looking!!! i meant no Offense

[coolbrian15]

The movie is cool But the early sound recording is creepy only people from the 19th century would record a baby crying

for no reason other than it was cool Now days that we have mp3 sound devices recording a baby crying just is not as cool as in 1892

you can even hear the record needle hit the wax record something you dont get with modern digtial sound devices

[foilseal]

@coolbrian15 i hope someone stabs you to death

[coolbrian15]

shut the F$%k up

[fyphfoko]

my dad has a tape recording of me as a kid

don't know if i'm crying though

[sugoiking]

I swoar I turn my volume off and I can still heard a bit of that baby crying, which freaked me out alot :(

[rodstartube]

with audio?

[mauwonderwall]

il pianto del bimbo è una cazzata, visto che il film era muto.

[FluzaoMarcio]

Fudge bath...

[bloatedlemonz]

This movie swept the 1892 Academy Awards

[tomdalton88]

hahahahaha

[amper0003]

@bloatedlemonz They knew how to make a good movie back then..

[hyancinth70]

@bloatedlemonz Um...the Academy Awards weren't started until 1928.

[samolove69]

What is the fu ck is that America. Why you always talking about white and black shit. It is not our fault to be borne like this. whether we were black or white. The must important thing is the person it self is he good or bad. I haven't seen this discrimination any where else except in the USA. Please wake up.

[moondog999]

It's a worldwide phenomenon sunshine.

Just the other day there was outrage in Shanghai over a black chick (black father, chinese mother) competing in a talent show.

Then there is Africa itself, the tutsis vs the hutus, and it doesn't just stop at name calling there, the hutus pretty much wiped out the tutsis. The UN did sweet fuck all about that, but still sees fit to lecture americans on "hate speech".

[wendyellismn]

thats not true, Salvador there is discrimination vs "indians" or natives, as in mexico and some other places.

but yeah!!! its time to move on peoples race or color!

[Wavedude21101]

@samolove69 a lot of people need to. . well siad

[chelloandra]

@samolove69 yes America has great difficulties looking beyond skin colour but it is by no means the only country.... South Africa springs to mind. And discrimination happens in many countries along racial lines ........in that sense a lot of people need to 'wake up'

[shinesthrudarain]

aunt jemima waffles

[dembkomj]

is that aunt jemima?

[shinesthrudarain]

LOL

[ciklprr]

So this is like Titanic (movie) in 1896?

[TheShipin]

To me it looks like a black woman bathing some white baby, better known as the house maid for some rich white family. The baby cries are so obviously added to the film years later. Either way it was very strange and almost ghostly to see the footage.

[nosiestink]

The baby crying was recorded in 1892 and the video was made in 1896. But the baby looked black to me. But i don't really know.

[thepratingknave]

TheShipin, she is the mother of the baby. Have you ever read the original summary of this film? It would be deemed offensive by today's standards, but it clearly states that the child is hers. This film is taken from the Library of Congress site. Many interesting examples of early cinema there, I recommend it.

And as for the baby cries - well, the title says it was recorded in 1892, and judging by the quality, I'd say that's about right. Sounds like a wax cylinder to me, I don't know.

[TheShipin]

Thanks for the info!

[thepratingknave]

You're very welcome.

[kurtster94]

Very cool

[Portis1Luv]

Priceless.

[skuul666]

this baby could have been gertrude baines, currently the oldest living person in the world

[lander4545]

Crying sounds like a current Walmart brat!

[caban70]

If only she knew that in a 114 years the president of the United States was going to be African American. Lol.

[wwwchimpoutDOTcom]

shut up

[MetallicaSucksNow]

He is not African American, he's a sandnigger from Uganda

[jamisvu]

Actually the president is only half black.

[caban70]

Still, that would of been unheard of back then. Back in those days, even being half Black (and looking Black like Obama does) you were considered black. They were discrimenated and labeled as Black.

[Yetti0]

Many of our families were discriminated... not only black.  Having OBAMA in the white house.. .go forward like most of us have.

[TVause]

Warren G Harding (president) was part black.

[caban70]

jamisvu, have you ever watched "Imitation of Life" with Lana Turner? The bi-racial girl in that movie could pass for White and she was still labeled as being Black. Her White boyfriend beat the crap out of her when he found out she was half black. Obama would of never been able to run for any kind of political position back then, because he was considered to be black even though his mother was White.

[USMCmortarman]

the lady seems to be payin more attention to someone out of camera range then the baby she's washin

[RobertsDigital]

Yes it definitely proves that movies were invented in Africa...The woman looks very black and so is the baby.

[chainsofdragons]

Danm It's Very Werd How The Flim Was Put In Motion Back Then

[harpo103]

People treated babies roughly in the old days. Made 'em tougher, I guess.

[Treemeadow]

And good for them too. These days we have whiny little "do it all for me" teenagers who have been coddled.

They're cotton wrapping kids.

[BSNFabricating]

WOW!!! Somehow a 117-year-old recording of a baby crying makes me feel a bit uneasy... O_o

Impressive matching it up to the film, though... ;)

[chan7dan6]

God did anyone read the title! The baby crying is four years earlier than the footage, suggesting that the camera didn't reacord sound, but the person who uploaded this is telling you that!! hello! Not only that but that woman was quite rough with that kid, bet he had shoulder trouble by 1936, lol

[Oakjuice]

unless he just added sound in

[UofLCardFan08]

Movies with sound didn't come around until around 1929.

[armyvet66]

1927 not '29

[UofLCardFan08]

Oh, okay

[BoriquaLady1209]

Sound in video did not come in until c1920's..nice try though

[Jsd8675]

1890s. Nice try tho!

[BoriquaLady1209]

umm no movies with sound 1920's....look it up

[Jsd8675]

Which are you talking about.. a movie, or sound in video? Figure it out.

You really have NO idea what you're talking about.

1927's Jazz Man is NOT the first motion picture with sound. It's the first movie with sound, but not the first motion picture with sound.

[narcisolopezjr]

Not Synchronized on actual piece of film. These are phonographs playing along with the film. The French had patents in 1919 for actual sound on film. It's in the French patent office, and available on the net if you want it. America had sound on film demonstrations in the very early 20s. I have seen three shorts (no more than 3-6 minutes each) of people singing and playing instruments on synchronized film date 1924 & 1925 respectively.

[VideoInsurgent]

You're both missing it. The title clearly says it is two different recordings mixed together. One, a primitive silent film from 1896, the other, a primitive sound recording from 1892.

[BSNFabricating]

She was mugging for the camera first, wasing te baby second...

And yes, the baby is all grown up now...and becoming a teenager for the second time if he or she would happen to still be around ;)

[carstereobandits]

why would you post audio that's so obviously fake

[sHaDoWoFsWoRdS]

gee shes not holding it very well...and there was no such thing as movies with sound back then so there is NO way that crying was real!

[yuniieXyuniie]

thats not the baby crying cause i just watched the same video i refuse to belive it

[NoelLozano]

baby's not a baby anymore

[54spiritedwill54]

I wonder if that water was cold. Very cool video.

[Yetti0]

hence the expression"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" Giving children a bath back then took time and a lot of work.. they had to heat the water on the stove and get water from a pump station usually outside..and often had a bucket of water near the pump to prime it so suction would work.
