Stereo analysis

Genuine stereo pair97%
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
- 79%
- 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.
H. H. Bennett stereoview on a yellow card mount, with two arched-top photographs. The printed caption reads “Among the Winnebagoes. Shooting Wa-ne-gra (Duck.)” and carries view number 275. The right-hand imprint credits Bennett as photographer and publisher at Kilbourn City, Wisconsin.
A figure seated low on the bank holds a long gun to the shoulder, its barrel extending left across the water. A patterned shirt is visible above a blanket gathered around the lower body. A second blanket-wrapped figure sits farther up the slope beside a tree, looking toward the camera. Exposed roots, fallen branches, and dry vegetation fill the steep bank, contrasting with the open water at left.
The opposite margin bears the series heading “Wanderings among the Wonders and Beauties of Wisconsin Scenery.” The identification of the subjects as Winnebago and the activity as duck shooting comes from the publisher’s caption; neither individual is named. The exact location and date are not stated. Kilbourn City is the address in Bennett’s imprint, rather than a confirmed location for this scene.
