Okinawa Soba posted several CC licensed stereoimages by T. Enami documenting life in early 20th century Japan (the Meiji period). The original hand tinted image (circa 1898), presented for parallel viewing and showing two Maiko meeting at the gate is one of many stunning stereo compositions. Note how well the tinting is done - there is very little variation in hue from image to image. This animated gif version exploits motion parallax to give a stereo illusion without eyestrain, to see what the photographer envisioned.
