Okinawa Soba posted several CC licensed stereo images of 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 image used for this gif, presented for parallel viewing and showing warping the loom to weave silk, dates to the end of the 19th century. l make animated ("wiggly") gifs to see the 3D effect without straining my eyes, and learn what makes a good stereo composition.
