Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 9px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 94%
- 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 man in a dark hat waters ornamental beds with a hose, its length trailing across the garden. Small trees and low plantings stand between narrow paths, with a fountain farther back. A long, glazed exhibition building encloses two sides of the scene, its roofline lined with flagpoles; a broad dirt path crosses the foreground.
The reverse bears the heading “INTERNATIONAL COTTON EXPOSITION.” and the imprint of Stoddart & Co., photographers, No. 32½ West Mitchell Street, Atlanta, Ga. The heading identifies the exposition setting, but neither the particular garden nor the building is named. No date or individual view number is printed.
Two side-by-side photographic images on a pink, round-cornered card with an orange printed reverse. The supplied dimensions are 7.02 × 4 inches (178.4 × 101.6 mm).
Ring-shaped staining is visible on the exposed pink mount, chiefly along the left and lower borders, with dark marks beside the central image join. Otherwise sound, retaining clear garden and architectural detail.
