Double Vision


Check out these stereoscopes of life in late 19th century Meiji-period Japan. Photographer T. Enami (1859-1929) captured these images that show many different scenes of daily life in the towns and countryside.

The 3D quality of the animation of these images together makes the people look move contemporary in a way that old black and white photos fall short.
