Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 11px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 92%
- 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
- 2px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Two anglers occupy separate rowboats on Lake Orion: one sits close to the bank with a long rod angled over the water, while the other stands in a boat farther out. Reeds and exposed stumps break the surface, with a wooded point at left and trees framing the near shore at right.
The orange mount is printed “LAKE ORION, Oakland County, Mich.” and credits the photograph and publication to J. A. Jenney of Flint, Michigan. The two side-by-side photographs form a stereoscopic view on a rounded-corner card with a pink reverse. No date is printed.
A faint but readable pencil inscription on the otherwise plain reverse reads “Detroit”; a separate short pencil code appears at the lower right. The Detroit note’s date and purpose are unknown. It does not displace the printed Lake Orion identification.
Localized brown smudges affect the sky and water of the right-hand image; the photographs and mount are otherwise sound.
