Stereo analysis

Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 7px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 73%
- 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.
An elevated view across a broad street toward the building identified on the reverse as Charity Hospital. Its long frontage has pedimented roof sections, numerous chimneys, and a small central cupola. Groups of people stand beside the boundary wall, while a low wooden shop with an awning occupies the left side. Street railway tracks cross the foreground behind heavily pollarded trees.
The reverse is captioned in ink, “Charity Hospital / N. O. La”. This identification agrees with the mount’s printed geographical heading, “New Orleans, Louisiana.” The opposite margin bears the imprint “S. T. Blessing, 87 Canal Street.” That address identifies Blessing’s business; it does not establish the street depicted.
Two warm-toned photographs are mounted side by side on a yellow card with rounded corners. The supplied overall dimensions are 7.01 × 4.56 inches. There is no printed view title, identifiable view number, or date, and the reverse has no publisher’s checklist.
A few small losses to the yellow mount facing occur along the upper edge, clear of the photographs. The photographs are otherwise clean, and the card appears sound.
