Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 8px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 88%
- The share of usable picture detail that can be matched between the left and right views. A higher number means a more reliable comparison.
- Vertical
- 3px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Lawrence & Houseworth stereoview of Dutch Flat, Placer County, California, bearing the caption “Dutch Flat, Placer County from the South.” Seen from a cleared slope strewn with timber, the town comprises closely grouped gabled buildings and a prominent multistory structure, with sparsely wooded hills beyond. The paired photographs are mounted on yellow card printed “CALIFORNIA,” with an ornamental imprint crediting Lawrence & Houseworth as photographers and publishers at 317 & 319 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. A penciled “824” accompanies the printed material; the photographs show uneven toning and scattered spotting, while the mount has worn edges and corners.
