Searching for a Classic Physics Textbook with Autostereograms

Perhaps this is a fever dream, but I seem to recall a classic Physics textbook that had illustrations of 3D vectors using autostereograms. However, I can't remember which one (or find any evidence that I'm not making this up). I also have the notion that this was very early, well before the magic eye craze of the early nineties. Can anyone confirm or deny?

It was definitely not a dream (or we shared it). I think it was Morse and Feschbach. But these were real stereo images of functions suitable for stereopticon or practiced eyes.
