Stereo analysis

Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 10px
- 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
- 0px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
A dark sedan fills the foreground beside a curving curb, its divided windshield, rounded fenders, and broad chrome grille prominently recorded. A man in a light suit stands beside its side window with his back to the camera. Several other suited men gather near the vehicles behind him.
Mature trees partly screen a columned classical building across the drive. The printed paper label on the reverse reads, “We leave the Capitol for the ball park.” The party is leaving the Senate club's luncheon at the Capitol for the Senators game at Griffith Stadium.
The paired arched-top images are mounted on a gray card. A clear pencil number, “27,” appears at the upper left of the otherwise plain reverse, separate from the unnumbered caption label. The men are not named.
The photograph belongs to Lynn Skeels’s Lowell Mason baseball-outing series. The Capitol-departure label establishes the scene’s place within the outing; no exact-scene archival caption naming the men beside the cars was located.
