Off by default. Turning it on lets the image respond to your cursor with a shallow sense of depth, rebuilt from a depth map computed when the image was catalogued. It is an interpretation for looking, not a measured 3D model — and it falls back to the flat image where the browser can't render it.

On the image

A girl of about ten sits at a table in an interior room, wearing a bright red short-sleeved shirt with a small brooch pinned near the shoulder. Behind her a wall divider of dark wood strips the white plaster into blocks, a design choice that suggested substance and modern division to postwar homeowners. Above, a framed religious print hangs on the wall—the kind that came in sets and marked a house as properly furnished and faithful. She looks down at her wrist or hand with an expression of mild interest, the way children did when they were aware of being photographed but had not yet learned to perform for it. The room is spare and clean in the way of the 1950s, when a bare wall was not a failure but a sign that nothing unnecessary was taking up space.
