Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 6px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 95%
- 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 stereoview looking along Woodward Avenue from Campus Martius in Detroit, Michigan. The caption beneath the right-hand image reads “Woodward Ave., from Campus Martius.” The orange mount carries the imprint of Black & Co., Publishers, Detroit, Mich.; no date is printed.
A tall streetlamp stands beside an open curb drain in the foreground. Adults and children gather near the crossing, with a child seated in a wheeled carriage at the left and horse-drawn enclosed carriages standing in the roadway. Beyond them, shop awnings run beneath several stories of ornamented commercial façades. Signs for jewelers and importers are legible on the nearest building.
The otherwise plain reverse has faint marginal lettering corresponding to the front imprint and a short pencil notation at lower right, tentatively read as “13 N24.” There is no reverse checklist or numbered view title. The imprint establishes Black & Co. as publisher but does not identify the photographer.
The right-hand print has tears and small paper losses along its lower edge, with a further small loss at the right edge, chiefly affecting the foreground. Otherwise clean and sound.
