The scan does not contain enough reliable detail for a firm classification.
- Depth spread
- 1px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 90%
- 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
- 0px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
A broad curtain of water drops over the cliff into spray, with a narrower stream descending the exposed rock to the left. Small buildings and railings line the wooded rim; shrubs and a projecting rock ledge occupy the foreground. The two arched-top photographic images are mounted side by side on a yellow card with rounded corners.
The reverse identifies the subject through an underlined catalogue entry: “No. 114 Montmorenci Falls, 250 feet high. A.” The printed instruction “[SUBJECT UNDERLINED.]” confirms the purpose of the mark. This identifies the view as Montmorency Falls near Quebec City, Quebec, Canada; the spelling and height quoted here are those printed on the card. No separate number within the front images can be securely read.
The front margins read “American Scenery.” and “Vicinity of Quebec, Canada.” Under the reverse heading “Vicinity of Quebec,” the catalogue lists views 114–151. This view begins an apparent four-view falls sequence: nos. 114–117, designated A–D. The neighboring entries continue with “Natural Steps—River above the Falls,” nos. 118–123, designated A–F, and no. 124, “Lumber and Saw Mills at Montmorenci Falls.”
No photographer, named publishing firm, or date appears on the card. A small localized brown spot is visible in the left image; the piece is otherwise clean and sound, with no visible cracks or substantial losses.
