Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Monoview (identical duplicate)62%
A monoview: the same photograph printed twice, so no genuine stereoscopic depth is present.
- Depth spread
- 1px
- 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.
An elevated, oblique view of temple ruins at Baalbek, with standing columns and a richly carved entablature set against the high surviving walls. Broken column shafts, large masonry blocks and low walls fill the foreground; trees, low buildings and open hills appear beyond. The two photographs are mounted side by side on a yellow card with rounded corners.
The reverse label reads “No. 66. BAALBEK.—General View of the Temple of Jupiter.” A circular device identifies “GOOD’S EASTERN SERIES,” and the imprint below states “Photographed and Published by FRANK M. GOOD, London.” The Temple of Jupiter designation is the publisher’s wording, retained here as printed. No date is given.
The card measures 6.83 × 3.32 inches (173.4 × 84.3 mm), as supplied. Scattered small brown spots are visible in the pale skies and on the reverse label, particularly beside the series device. Otherwise sound, with the columns, carved ornament and fallen masonry clearly legible.
