Not for the world!" is the title on this c1901 stereograph, a caption that hints at a scene of reluctance or a cherished keepsake, though the record does not describe the picture itself. The card was copyrighted by Underwood & Underwood, a firm that became one of the largest publishers of stereo views in the United States. Its cards were sold in enormous numbers for parlor viewers, which made them a common part of home entertainment in this period. The record's details come from the caption card and are unverified, so the date is approximate.
