This is an original c1900s stereograph card by Keystone View Company titled “11422 – ‘Isn’t Our Stock Looking Fine!’.” The stereoview shows two children, a boy and a girl, sitting outdoors surrounded by dozens of rabbits in a farmyard setting. Both children appear to be enjoying their time caring for the rabbits, with a farmhouse and steps visible in the background. The publisher imprint reads Keystone View Company, Manufacturers, Publishers, Made in U.S.A., with distribution locations including Meadville PA, New York NY, Portland Oregon, London England, and Sydney Australia.

The card is in fair to good condition with light edge and corner wear, slight rounding to corners, and general surface fading consistent with age. The back of the card features a printed narrative describing the children’s imaginative farm play scene in detail.

Back of card reads:
11422 “Isn’t our stock looking fine?”
Johnny lived in the house next to Peggy. One time his uncle sent him three little puppies to keep for his very own, and he was delighted with them. He took them over into Peggy’s yard to play. “Let’s play farmer, Peggy,” he said. Peggy thought that would be fun, but said she would have to have some animals too. Johnny said she might be Mrs. Farmer and do the housekeeping, but she said she wanted to be a man if Johnny was. Now Peggy’s brother had a great lot of rabbits which he kept in a kind of coop called a hutch. He often allowed Peggy to help him feed them, but not to let them out of the rabbit-hutch. When Peggy needed some animals so badly to stock her farm, she thought of the rabbits at once. She was sure brother wouldn’t care, if he knew. So she and Johnny opened the door of the rabbit-hutch and coaxed the pretty creatures out. There were black ones and white ones and spotted ones, and they had long silky ears that you could lift them by and not hurt a mite. See how tame they look in the picture, with one of Johnny’s puppies hiding among them! O, but Peggy and Johnny had a lovely time playing farmer that day! But when Peggy’s brother came home from school, he had to hunt ever so long for some of the rabbits, and some of them he never found at all. And that night farmer Peggy was sent to bed without any supper, and so was farmer Johnny. Wasn’t that pretty hard?
