(animated stereo) Beadmaker , Meiji era Japan (1904)

The purpose here is not to duplicate the original image, from Okinawa Soba's stream, but to generate an animated gif to assist viewing. Unfortunately, animation is not automatic - to animate you must view the image at original resolution (click all sizes) or simply scroll down.
Okinawa Soba posted several CC licensed stereoimages documenting life in early 20th century Japan (the Meiji period). The original Keystone image (circa 1904), presented for parallel viewing and showing an apprentice watching the master bead maker is one of many remarkable stereo compositions. This animated gif version exploits motion parallax to give a stereo illusion without eyestrain, to see what the photographer envisioned.
Animated gif generated with StereoPhotoMaker, a freeware program by Masuji Suto & David Sykes. Notes on Gif generation: the left image was scaled up to 100.5%, then the sizes of both were reduced to 600dpi wide. Because both images were scaled down, differences are not apparent from the first rescaling.
