Stereo analysis

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
- 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 frontal stereoscopic view of the building captioned “High School, Detroit, Mich.” Its broad facade is arranged around a projecting central tower, with tall arched windows, contrasting masonry trim and elaborate dormers rising through the mansard roof. A three-arched, columned entrance opens onto a broad flight of steps.
The foreground records an unpaved intersection crossed by curving cobbled strips. Trees flank the school, a small figure sits beside the entrance steps, and a pole with multiple crossarms rises at the right. “HIGH SCHOOL” is visible on the building itself. The caption within the lower edge of the right photograph reads “2671 High School, Detroit, Mich.”
The buff mount identifies Union View Co., Publishers, Rochester, New York, and carries a Detroit and vicinity series heading. The reverse is unprinted, bearing the handwritten code “RE24” and additional pencil marks too faint to transcribe securely. There is no reverse catalogue or corresponding view number to match against front number 2671. The card establishes the subject as a Detroit high school but supplies neither a street address, a date nor an individual photographer.
Small brown stains occur on the upper-right mount and reverse, and the right corners show creasing with slight surface splitting. The photographs remain intact, with clear architectural detail; otherwise sound.
