Shot in 1945-47 by a British tourist, these home movies begin with images of New York City including the harbor and sections of downtown. A visit to the Empire State Building observation deck and street scenes are visible. The film also includes a visit to Niagara Falls and Washington, D.C. including images of National Airport, the White House and other monuments.
Because home movies have inconsistent exposure some portions of the film may appear too dark or too bright; if you are surveying the film for stock footage use contact us as many of these issues can be corrected by a re-transfer of the specific section you are interested in.
We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting?
