Libraryimages,net posted a vast archive of photos (panoramas, stereoviews, 19th century, etc.) with much CC licensed. The original image (circa 1874), presented for parallel viewing and showing a native American boy and girl is one of many fascinating 19th century stereo compositions. This animated gif version exploits motion parallax to give a stereo illusion without eyestrain, to see what the photographer envisioned.
