The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 11px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 95%
- The share of usable picture detail that can be matched between the left and right views. A higher number means a more reliable comparison.

President Harry S. Truman and his party stand for the National Anthem at Griffith Stadium in this stereograph by Lynn Skeels. An exact-scene copy is held by the Truman Library as 2013-2665. Its caption identifies the front row, left to right, as Reathel Odum, Bess Truman, President Harry S. Truman and Admiral William D. Leahy; Matthew J. Connelly and William D. Hassett are third and fourth from the left in the second row, and Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg stands in the third row directly behind Leahy. Other spectators are not named in that archival caption.
The presidential box is draped with striped bunting; the grandstand rises behind the standing party. The paired arch-topped photographs are mounted on gray card. The reverse carries the typed title “The National Anthem.” and pencil number 24. The library dates its copy to 1945 and attributes the series to Lowell Mason’s Stereographic Library, Annual Baseball Outing, Volumes I and II, documenting the Senate’s Baseball, Clam and Chowder Club.
