Stereo analysis

Verdict

Monoview (identical duplicate)^78%

A monoview: the same photograph printed twice, so no genuine stereoscopic depth is present.

Depth spread: 1px; The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
Match: 89%; 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: 0px; Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.

An Anthony “War Views” stereoview of railway tracks, a long canvas-roofed structure and scattered buildings at Johnsonville, dated December 1864 by its printed caption.

Published by E. & H. T. Anthony & Co., New York, this stereoview forms part of the firm’s “War Views” series. The printed caption identifies Johnsonville on the Tennessee River and states that the photograph was taken “the day before evacuation by the Federal forces, December, 1864.” The paired sepia photographs show railway tracks beside a long canvas-roofed structure, with scattered buildings and tall, bare trees across the open landscape. An orange-red mount carries the publisher’s imprint, while a pale green printed label identifies the view as No. 2643; scattered spotting and wear along the mount edges are visible.
