Gibson Girls in 1904 | Edwardian Era Fashion brought to life V1.0

Mesmerizing 1904 film showing Edwardian era women clocking in to work. Filmed at Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company,Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Cinematographer G.W Bitzer. American Mutoscope and Biograph Company. The Gibson Girl look was the personification of Edwardian fashion and the feminine ideal. Portrayed by the pen-and-ink illustrations of artist Charles Dana Gibson during a 20-year period. The original footage held by Library of Congress is rather poor quality, but we think we brought some life back to this little time capsule. A chance to see with added clarity the true Edwardian era fashion of the American Gibson girl. Their walking skirts and blouses that were the staple daily style for women nearly 120 years ago. Bear in mind all these ladies were also wearing corsets. The Process: Some of the neural networks like Dain, and DeOldify are freely available on the Github community, if you are prepared to learn how to use Google Colab. You can also try the DainApp for desktop, but will need a computer with a good graphics card, and lots of patience. In this case, I took the original 15fps film available from the Library of Congress ( details below). 1. Removed artifacts and noise. 2. Interpolated new frames ( from 15 to 60 fps) using the DainApp, to add depth awareness 3. Then I up-scaled the original 360 p film to 4 K resolution. 4.The final result was then colorized using a neural network process called DeOldify. I'm still not sold on the colorization
