Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair90%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 4px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 83%
- 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
- 1px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Published by E. & H. T. Anthony & Co., this stereoview is captioned “Bound East from Ogden” and numbered 7120 in “Views Along the Line of the Pacific Rail Road.” Locomotive no. 121 is shown nearly head-on, its flared smokestack and large headlamp prominent, with cars receding behind it, timber buildings beside the tracks, and detached wheelsets in the yard. The warm-toned paired photographs are set on an orange-red mount printed “Popular Series” and “American Views,” with a publisher’s label giving 591 Broadway, New York. The mount shows edge wear and scattered staining.
