Incredible 3D animated gifs, based from the work of prolific Japanese photographer T. Enami.

Notes about Emani from T-Enami.org:

Finally, in 2009, with the discovery of his complete printed catalog of 19th Century Album views (and Lantern-Slides made from the same), Enami becomes one of only two Japanese photographers known to have a surviving list of their commercial 2-D images. (The other extant view list was published by Kimbei Kusakabe).

(…) While such a separate (and hoped-for) catalog of Enami’s ubiquitous 3-D work might yet come to light, the current discovery of his 2-D Album-view list will, when eventually republished, provide researchers and collectors with an accurate survey of his 1890s commercial images to be studied along with similar images made by his more illustrious “elders”.
