Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 12px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 91%
- 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.
Five men stand among conifers around a low, bough-covered grave, with stones piled at its near end. A horse is partly concealed by the trunks at left, and mountain slopes show through the trees. A long-bearded man stands with his arms folded; the man at far right wears a striped shirt.
The right-hand image is numbered 361 and captioned “Grave of S. J. Linsley.” The pencil inscription on the reverse states that Linsley died July 15 from injuries caused by a bear on Eagle River, Colorado, on June 15. A question mark follows the June date, and no year is securely legible. The account of his death comes from the card’s inscriptions.
“Alex Martin #361” is also pencilled on the reverse. Any attribution to Martin rests on this inscription rather than a visible maker’s imprint. The five men remain unidentified, and the date of the photograph is not established.
Two arched-top images on a buff card with rounded corners, measuring 6.92 × 4.04 inches (175.7 × 102.5 mm). Clean and sound overall, with both images intact.

Verso pencil inscription: "Grave of S. J. Linsley Died July 15th / From injuries by a bear on Eagle / River, Colo, June 15th ?" — the card itself names Eagle River, Colorado as where Linsley was fatally injured. Pin marks the general Eagle River area near Eagle, CO; the exact grave site along the river is not established. | Taken off the map Oct 2026: the card names where Linsley was injured (Eagle River), not where the grave was photographed. Kept for future research.
