Atlantic City Beach: 1900 to 1910

Sunbathers enjoy Atlantic City Beach at the turn of the century. High definition photos paired with video shot by Thomas Edison give a unique look at the Jersey Shore.

Because the images are in high definition, the video looks best when played at 720p or 1080p.

LOL @ pics of beach chairs under the Boardwalk to avoid the sun. If you did that now, yo'd catch a disease!

@QuestionableSidedish How funny would it be if you took a time machine to early 1900s Atlantic City, went to the beach, and came face to face with The Situation's great-great-ancestor but with a handlebar mustache fist pounding to this music in the video.

Hey QuestionableSidedish

You don't know what you're talking about! The Jersey Shore is just as nice as it's ever been, check out Cape May, Wildwood, Long Beach Island, Ocean Grove, Ocean City, Point Pleasant, Belmar etc and you'll see! You should go there and look, and get an education!

Im currently a 5th year lifeguard in Atlantic City and the thought of having to guard THAT many people's lives all at once is fuel for nightmares. YIKES!
