You've Never Seen Teddy Roosevelt Like This Before

Ken Burns' recent PBS docu-series "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History" put renewed focus on the lives of former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as FDR's wife Eleanor. The series was hugely popular, putting the Roosevelts back in the spotlight.

But the docu-series isn't the only way to see the 26th president in a new light. In this series of stereoscopic images -- compiled of photos from Southern Methodist University, Central University Libraries and the DeGolyer Library -- Teddy Roosevelt can be seen like never before.

See the gifs of Teddy Roosevelt below:
