That is neat. I love finding old films of "real life" like that.
It's sort of mind boggling to think the man you are seeing being buried was born in 1830- 186 years ago.
Yeah, and what makes me melancholy is that there's probably nobody still alive, nobody at all, either a participant or a spectator on the sidewalk, who was in that film; not even one of the little kids.
Two things I noticed: the store signs in Hebrew, and.....the riders in plumed helmets seemed to have more control over their horses than riders in plumed helmets do today.
If you look at the birthday or jubilee parades in London, for example, those guys riding down the streets on horses (and wearing plumed helmets) look as if they're being manipulated by yo-yo strings, the way they bounce up-and-down, up-and-down.
In this film, it looks as if a hundred years ago, that yo-yoing up-and-down wasn't a problem.
