Genuine stereo pair91%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 3px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 97%
- 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.
Two arched-top photographs show a roadside cottage with a steep shingled roof, one dormer, and two masonry chimneys. Three tall, small-paned windows and a dark doorway face the road; another window opens through the gable wall. The pale exterior is visibly weathered, with fences and neighboring buildings close beside it.
The yellow mount bears the titles “Vicinity of Quebec, Canada.” and “American Scenery.” The reverse carries a catalogue headed “Vicinity of Quebec.” and the instruction “[SUBJECT UNDERLINED.]” Its underlined entry, “140 Canadian Cottage, Beaufort Road,” identifies the cottage shown on the front.
The reverse lists a continuous sequence of views numbered 114–151. Immediately adjoining this subject are 139, “Canadian Country House, Beaufort,” and 141, “Blacksmith Shop,” with ditto marks carrying forward “Beaufort Road.” These entries suggest a related local sequence, though they do not establish that the buildings stood together. The card’s spelling “Beaufort Road” is retained; the cottage’s precise location, photographer, publisher, and date remain unidentified.
Small localized surface abrasions are most noticeable over an outbuilding in the left image and near the lower edge of the right image, with fine surface crazing in the darker passages. Otherwise clean and sound.
