Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair85%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 2px
- 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
- 1px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
A tall stone obelisk rises above a pedestal bearing the clearly legible name “WOLFE.” Trees partly screen its base, while steep-roofed buildings stand behind it and a pointed railing crosses the foreground. The two arched-top photographs are mounted side by side on a yellow card.
The front margins read “Quebec, Canada.” and “American Scenery.” On the reverse, beneath the heading “Quebec,” entry no. 94 reads “Wolfe and Montcalm Monument. A” and is underlined. The printed instruction “[SUBJECT UNDERLINED.]” confirms the function of this mark. The selected title and the inscription visible in both photographs together establish the subject.
The reverse catalogue runs from nos. 55 through 113. No. 95 repeats the monument title through ditto marks and designates view B, indicating a probable A/B pair with this view. Neighboring entries include no. 93, “Where Montgomery fell”; no. 96, “Wolfe Monument”; and no. 97, “Wolfe Monument and Quebec Jail,” with the repeated words supplied by ditto marks. These distinguish the present monument from the separately listed Wolfe Monument views. Neither photographer nor publisher is named, and the card is undated.
The supplied dimensions are 6.92 × 3.44 inches (175.7 × 87.4 mm). Clean and sound overall, with no visible cracks, tears, or significant losses.
