You can compare this view of Court House at Kilkenny with its companion photo taken approximately 82 years earlier as part of the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991, where one thousand photographs from the Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland were replicated a hundred years later by a team of volunteer photographers, thereby creating a record of the changing face of the selected locations all over Ireland.

(animated stereo) Destroying Atlanta's Railroad, 1864

Image by Thiophene_Guy
To see the animated image scroll down to the first comment or view original size (look above in the "actions" menu).

The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from an 1864 stereograph titled Finishing railroad iron, Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 14th 1864 . Atlanta was destroyed during Sherman's March to the Sea, with only the hospitals and churches being spared after a last-minute plea. The Atlanta campaign was integral to the 1939 film Gone With The Wind

Hat Tip
Fred Hall notes the common name for this procedure was making Sherman's neckties.

Details and History
The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the 1860-1863 stereograph, possibly by Edwin Emerson, depicting Troy N.Y., C.F.H. (Charles F. Himes) and Prof. O.N. Rood, Warren's house in background, looking n.

Both were members of the Amateur Photographic Exchange club, which functioned from 1860-1863 when its secretary was called to war. Many of the earliest surviving stereographs in the LOC collection were generated via this exchange. As noted in a brief history (Image 1952, vol1, issue2, page4) one of their correspondents was Oliver Wendell Holmes. He invented the Holmes stereoscope and gave the design away. The instrument proved so popular it drove most rivals out of the market.

The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the J. Gurney & Son stereoview Minnie Conway, head-and-shoulders portrait, wearing hat, facing left. After the death of her father (d1874) and mother (d1875) twenty-one-year-old actress Marianne (Minnie) Conway took over management of the Brooklyn Theater in order to support her sixteen-year-old sister Lillian. Both actresses can be seen here in a later photo. The NY times stirred the ashes of her first marriage to coronet player Jules Levy, seeking scandal, on 6/28/1883. This marriage produced a daughter and a son, Frederick Levy who became a star of early Hollywood as Coway Tearle. She later married Conrad Tearle and had two sons who also worked on stage and film: GodfreyTearle, and Malcolm Tearle.
