Captioned "Just men, but mighty important ones!", this stereo card presents the "Big Nine," the nine powers whose delegations gathered in Washington, D.C., in 1921 for the World Disarmament Conference. The conference, also called the Washington Naval Conference, opened in November 1921 to limit naval armaments, and Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes made its dramatic opening proposal to scrap many battleships. Stereo cards like this one were sold to a mass audience who viewed them in pairs through a hand viewer, so the event reached living rooms far from the conference hall.
