Footage I've restored from New York City, 1901. Have AI enhanced the footage to 4k, inserted frames to 60fps, colorized and added sound design.
Scene shows people in 1901 walking along 23rd street, New York City, as horses pulling carts walk passed. A lady has her skirt blown up by an are shaft on the sidewalk.

Original scene description:
"The scene as suggested by the title is made on 23d Street, New York City. In front of one of the large newspaper offices on that thoroughfare is a hot air shaft through which immense volumes of air is forced by means of a blower. Ladies crossing these shafts often have their clothes slightly disarranged, (it may be said much to their discomfiture). As our picture was being made a young man escorting a young lady, to whom he was talking very earnestly, comes into view and walks slowly along until they stand directly over the air shaft. The young lady's skirts are suddenly raised to, you might say an almost unreasonable height, greatly to her horror and much to the amusement of the newsboys, bootblacks and passersby. 50 ft."--Edison films catalog
