Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Camera moved / alignment issue70%
The pair does not align reliably enough for a trustworthy depth reading; scan skew can also contribute.
- 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
- 91%
- 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
- 4px
- 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 the waterfront of Mackinac Island, Michigan. Closely grouped houses and outbuildings fill the foreground, their shingled roofs, brick chimneys, and plank fences sharply described. Beyond them, the shoreline curves beneath a rocky, tree-topped bluff.
A substantial church with tall windows and a square tower rises among the waterfront buildings. Small boats lie along the shore, and a white fence follows the road beside the water. A sign above one of the nearer roofs reads “LIVERY & SALE STABLE.”
The otherwise unprinted pink reverse bears the pencil caption “Mackinac Island,” written along one edge. The lettering is uneven in strength but legible. This inscription supplies the location; it does not name the individual buildings or the photographer’s vantage point. No photographer, publisher, or date is recorded on the card.
Two arched-top photographs mounted side by side on orange card, measuring 7.03 × 3.98 inches (178.5 × 101.2 mm). A small dark blemish and localized surface rubbing affect the right-hand image; otherwise clean and sound.
