Probably around the time of the end of the horse powered era, all the wagons and wobbly wheels, boy trotting bareback and the man ground driving a team. The film is popular because it is filmed just days before the quake.
love this film, horses, bikes, pedestrians, cars, and trollys all on the street interface. I think the key is that everything is moving just a little bit slower than it does today. It would be neat to see this same view today. I could see something similar happening in Garberville someday.
