Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Camera moved / alignment issue70%
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
- 92%
- 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
- 4px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
View #16 from Lowell Mason’s Stereographic Library, Annual Baseball Outing, photographed by Lynn Skeels, records guests and uniformed aides at the Senate baseball luncheon. The series documents the Senate’s Baseball, Clam and Chowder Club.
Two men stand in the foreground, facing left. The man at left holds his hands together at chest height; the man beside him wears a bow tie. Uniformed figures stand behind them and at the right edge. Paneled doors and a wall-mounted electric fan frame the gathering.
The reverse of this gray-mounted stereograph bears the pencil number “16.” No individual names are written on this copy. An exact-view caption naming the foreground pair or the uniformed men has not been located; names from other luncheon photographs are not evidence for this frame.

Indoor gathering from the Lynn Skeels baseball-outing set; nothing on this card names the room, so it is placed with the set's pre-game gathering at the Capitol. Check the view against the Truman Library's Skeels records before approving.
