Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Camera moved / alignment issue70%
The pair does not align reliably enough for a trustworthy depth reading; scan skew can also contribute.
- Depth spread
- 8px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 96%
- 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
- 4px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
A stereoview looking down the interior of Tribe & Jefferay’s Bookstore, identified by the printed label along the lower edge of the mount as being in Colorado Springs. Shelves of books and boxed stock line the room, with a narrow aisle leading past the counters toward two bright rear windows. No staff or customers are visible.
Curved glass counter cases run along the left side, while rectangular display cases fill the center and right foreground. Cloth-covered tables hold bound volumes and small boxes. Hanging lamps and a framed decorative motto occupy the space beneath the boarded ceiling. Above the right-hand shelves, a sign reads, “Look Over Our Stock of Miscellaneous Books.” The view records the shop’s arrangement in considerable detail, though the smaller merchandise cannot all be identified.
The two arched-top photographs are mounted on buff card with rounded corners. The side imprints read “COLORADO VIEWS.” and “J. THURLOW, PHOTO. MANITOU, COL.”, crediting Thurlow as photographer. The reverse is blank, and no date is given on the card.

Photographed subject · Street / district · 60% confidence
The directory identifies Tribe & Jefferay as booksellers, stationers, printers and binders on the east side of Tejon Street south of Pikes Peak Avenue; it does not establish a street number or building footprint. Linking this address to the undated photograph relies on the supplied bookstore label. ([ppld.org](https://ppld.org/sites/default/files/specialcollections/citydirectories/1879CSCityDirectory.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Coordinates are converted from the documented Spencer Penrose marker location at Tejon and Pikes Peak (38°50.034′ N, 104°49.409′ W), used only as a neighborhood reference point—not as the bookstore site or camera position.
