Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Camera moved / alignment issue85%
The pair does not align reliably enough for a trustworthy depth reading; scan skew can also contribute.
- Depth spread
- 12px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 96%
- 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
- 7px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Two men examine Lowell Mason’s baseball score-prediction chart in this Lynn Skeels stereograph from the Senate baseball-outing series. The board reads “BASEBALL CHART 1946” and contains guests’ names and WASH–BOS score selections. The man at right holds chalk against the ruled board; the other watches beside him. Their pinstriped suits, the paneled wall and a tall potted plant give the scene its closely framed interior setting.
The paired arch-topped images are mounted on gray card; the unprinted reverse bears pencil number 22. The board’s connection with Lowell Mason is established series context, not proof that either pictured man is Mason. The Truman Library’s 70-4248 also records guests at Mason’s board, but it is a different exposure with a different grouping, so its names cannot be applied to these two men. No exact-scene caption naming the pair was located in the retrieved records.
