- 8px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match

- 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
- 2px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
A yellow-mount stereoview captioned “Hermit of Quidnet,” bearing the J. Freeman and Nantucket imprints and showing a white-bearded man seated beside a brick hearth amid hanging utensils and implements.
Captioned “Hermit of Quidnet,” this stereoview bears the imprints “J. Freeman” and “Nantucket” on a yellow mount with rounded corners. The paired sepia-toned photographs show a white-bearded man in a brimmed hat, jacket, patched trousers, and boots, seated in a wooden armchair beside a brick hearth. Utensils and assorted implements crowd the surrounding walls, with framed texts hanging above. A penciled inscription echoes the printed identification.
