Meiji-era stereoviews brought back to life

Meiji-era stereoviews brought back to life photo

The above image may look pretty cool as is, but wait until you see it as an animated image on Pink Tentacle. Wow.

This and many others are 3D stereoviews photographed back in the late 19th and early 20th century by Japanese photographer T. Enami. You'd normally need a stereoscope to see these pictures spring to life, but the power of the internet revives them. 

You'll see views of everyday life in the Meiji period, originally captured in tinted silver print. They look fantastic for 110-year old photos, even when not moving. When moving, they're spectacular.

Check them all out. I love the campfire one.
