Stereo analysis

Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- 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
- 94%
- 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
- 3px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Theodore Roosevelt rides toward the camera on a light-colored horse, raising his hat beside another mounted man. Men, women and children watch from behind a low rope barrier. Tall, sparsely leafed trees line the dirt road, with hills beyond and a long railing receding at the right.
The publisher’s caption describes a return from the hunt and calls Roosevelt “the President of the People.” Its partly interrupted place-name can be restored as Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The photograph records the public greeting rather than the hunt itself; neither the accompanying rider nor the precise stretch of road is identified.
Published as view 9933 by H. C. White Co., whose imprint gives general offices at N. Bennington, Vermont, and branches in New York, Chicago and London. The mount bears the firm’s “PERFEC” Stereograph trademark, the patent date April 14, 1903, and a 1905 copyright. The paired, arched-top photographs occupy a rounded-corner mount with a plain reverse.
