Accordion phobia or the "anti-squeezebox stance" (Alan Lomax) speaks to "the power struggles between social classes as well as to the makings, politics, and aesthetics of popular music" (The Accordion in the Americas: Klezmer, Polka, Tango, Zydeco, and More).  The caption here reads, "Would you mind moving further along?  There is a sick lady in the house opposite."  From Pearson's, 1911.
