Stereo analysis

Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 5px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 93%
- 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
- 1px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Three men in broad-brimmed hats sit on horseback on a rough, rock-strewn road. Two horses face the camera; the third stands side-on at right. A fence and a utility pole with two crossarms mark the ground behind them, below a steep hillside scored by narrow gullies.
The printed caption identifies the group as President Roosevelt and his party returning from a bear hunt, “on road from Newcastle, Col.” The place is New Castle, Colorado. Neither the particular road nor Roosevelt’s companions are named on the card.
H. C. White Co. issued the view as no. 9935, with a 1905 copyright notice. Its vertical imprint lists general offices in North Bennington, Vermont, and branches in New York, Chicago, and London. The opposite margin carries the “PERFEC” trademark and an April 14, 1903 patent date. The paired, arch-topped photographs are mounted on brown card with rounded corners; the reverse is blank.
