Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair91%
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
- 99%
- 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 of the Old Mill, Nantucket, on a buff mount bearing the printed credit “J. FREEMAN,” and “NANTUCKET.” The tapered, shingle-clad tower fills both views, its four open lattice sails set against the sky.
A door and a small shuttered opening face the camera, with stones visible around the foot of the tower. A long timber descends to a small wheel at ground level. Sandy tracks cross the low rise, and a section of rail fence enters the foreground at the left.
The unprinted reverse bears the blue-ink caption “The Old Mill.” Read with the Nantucket imprint and the building shown, this supports identification as the Old Mill in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Separate green-marker annotations read “Neg # 941” and “SLIDE”; these are working notations rather than a printed publisher’s view number. The card is undated, and the photographic process is not established from the scans.
Large green-marker annotations occupy the lower reverse. The photographs are otherwise clean and the mount appears sound.
