(animated stereo) Geisha on the Veranda
To animate view the image at original resolution (click all sizes) or simply scroll down.
Okinawa Soba posted several CC licensed stereoimages life in late 19th & early 20th century Japan (the Meiji period). His photostream and website devoted to T. Enami are a wealth of images augmented by important historical context and analysis. You'd be hard pressed to find these details any where else. The original hand tinted image used for this gif, presented for parallel viewing and showing a geisha on the veranda, dates to the early 20th century. Images like this are composed very well from a technical perspective, encouraging the eye to roam and experience the stereo effect. The animated gif version shows so much parallax that it is difficult to appreciate the composition fully.
Addendum
My first effort to generate an animated gif did not properly compensate for different sized images. An improved version has been added below the original. To copy that image, click it to obtain the source page then copy the original size (only original sized gifs animate on Flickr)
