Genuine stereo pair92%
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
- 100%
- 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.
Water spills over a low dam and flows around large foreground boulders, its movement softened by the exposure. A long covered bridge crosses the middle distance, with riverside buildings at its far end and a tower rising above the trees beyond.
A horizontal mark beneath “57. Amoskeag Bridge and Falls.” selects this title from the reverse catalogue. Read with the card’s “MANCHESTER VIEWS” heading, it identifies the scene as Amoskeag Bridge and Falls in Manchester, New Hampshire. The individual buildings and distant tower remain unidentified.
The orange front mount credits C. K. Burns as publisher; the pink reverse gives his address as 1018 Elm Street, Stark Block. Its catalogue lists ninety Manchester views. This card sits within an apparent bridge sequence: no. 58 shows Amoskeag Bridge from above, no. 59 from below, and no. 60 its interior. Burns is identified as publisher, not necessarily as the photographer, and no date is printed.
The photographs and mount appear clean and sound, with no significant damage visible in the scans.
