Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 7px
- 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
- 3px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Stereoview by H. D. Udell showing the interior of Batterson, Canfield & Co.'s Monumental Works in Hartford, Connecticut, identified by the printed mount caption. Men in hats, waistcoats, and work aprons pose among sculptures in a timber-framed workshop, with a large draped figure lying horizontally on supports in the foreground. A uniformed statue stands at the left, while further figures and busts occupy benches and shelves; tools rest across the foreground stone. The paired photographs are mounted on a red-orange card bearing Udell's Hartford imprint, with rubbing and small losses visible along the edges.

The Connecticut Historical Society holds this exact view (ca. 1870-1880), and CTHumanities documents that Batterson's central office and works remained on Hartford's Main Street for over five decades.
