Meiji era stereopticon photos

[gurdymonkey]

Ganked from sasha_khan who locks his journal, or I'd have sent you there instead.  Frankly, I think the seizure-inducing animation was unnecessary and the photos could stand on their own merit without it.

Oh, and go look at the standing lantern in "Geisha in a tearoom." Hexagonal basket weave, like my chochin caning!

And now I shall rinse the purple goo from my hair, get dressed and go into San Francisco to Soko Hardware since one of my bamboo strainers decided to die at Coronet.....

There's a link there to the non-animated versions, much less painful. I'd meant to repost this earlier and have been too busy; glad you saw them!
