Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Camera moved / alignment issue75%
The pair does not align reliably enough for a trustworthy depth reading; scan skew can also contribute.
- Depth spread
- 6px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 84%
- 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
- 5px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Three figures stand side by side on snow, the central figure carrying a small child on her shoulders and holding the child’s legs. Their long fur garments have contrasting panels and pale bands around the cuffs and rounded hems, with patterned leggings and boots below. Bare woodland fills the background. Light tinting adds warmth to the faces and touches of blue to the snow.
The printed caption reads “21033—Our Alaskan Sisters in the Klondike Country.” It places the scene broadly in the Klondike region of Yukon, Canada, without naming a settlement or exact site. The sitters are unnamed, and the publisher’s wording does not establish that they were related. No date is given.
The paired, arched-top photographs are mounted on a dark gray card with rounded corners. The left margin credits “Keystone View Company / Manufacturers Publishers” and carries “COPYRIGHTED / MADE IN U. S. A.” The opposite margin lists the company’s locations in Meadville, New York, Portland, London and Sydney. A separate code, “C1,” appears above the photographs, distinct from view number 21033. The reverse is blank.
