Details and History
The Wikimedia Commons website offers a multitude of historical images with no restrictions on use. This William Notman branded stereoview titled Broadway on a rainy day is from the Instantaneous Views of New York series. Though Notman (1826-1891) was a prominent 19th century photographer renowned for his innovative photography, he may have merely published this. The same image appears at www.common-place.org/vol-10/no-04/lessons/ attributed to E & H T Anthony, Anthony's instantaneous views no. 188 (1859), and in a similarly attributed image in the NYPL digital gallery..

Technical trivia
The source PNG file was enhanced in HSL colorspace (Picturewindow Pro) by adjusting the luminance channel color curve. Regions of insignificant intensity were cut then the remaining data was expanded to fill the window. Aggressive noise reduction (Noiseware pro) smoothed dark areas by eliminating white dust and specks. Subsequent image manipulations and animated gif generation done with StereoPhotoMaker, a freeware program by Masuji Suto & David Sykes.


This way please

I ran 3 images through Photomatix and this came out. I spent 20 minutes looking for something to add but nothing looked right. This is exactly what it looked like when I was there so here it is.
