# Talk:Great Mill Disaster

I have my doubts as to the authenticity of the photo.  I'm sure it's a contemporary stereoscope photo of the mill, but the actual explosion looks flat when printed out and looked at through a stereoscope (I have one), and also looks to me like what someone would imagine an explosion looks like rather than what they actually look like. Besides, what are the chances that someone had a stereoscopic camera pointed right at the place at the moment it blew up, and had either the incredible luck or the incredible presence of mind to click the shutter at the perfect moment?
I suspect this was something someone manufactured when it was a recent event in order to sell the image. I think the part of the image depicting the explosion was created and photographed, and that two identical prints were literally cut and pasted onto the two stereo images.

I agree, the flying objects in the picture looks out of place from the image. Overall, the image looks cartoon-ish. The fact that there is barely any info on the image does not help. I changed the caption to "illustration of Great Mill Disaster" for now. Roostery123 (talk) 04:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
