"From Wall St Crash to New York Stock Exchange: A Historical Journey through Stocks" Step into the past as we explore the captivating world of stocks, beyond just company shares. Delve into a time when financial markets were shaken by the infamous Wall St Crash in 1929, leaving lasting impacts on economies worldwide. Uncover stories of resistance and punishment, like suffragette women enduring public humiliation in the stocks for daring to fight for their rights. Witness unsympathetic cartoons mocking those affected by economic downturns, reminding us of the power dynamics at play during turbulent times. Travel back even further to witness Puritan society's strict enforcement of discipline through physical punishment. Experience the whipping of Baptist minister Obadiah Holmes in 1651, an act carried out for holding an unauthorized religious meeting – a stark reminder of how religious beliefs shaped societal norms. But not all tales are somber; humor finds its way into this narrative too. Meet a confused drunk stockbroker who mistakes toilet rolls for stock market indicators – a comical portrayal highlighting moments when reality blurs amidst chaos. Fast forward to bustling trading floors in the 1980s at the iconic New York Stock Exchange. The energy is palpable as brokers shout orders and ticker tapes fly across screens - capturing both excitement and anxiety that define stock market fluctuations. Amidst these historical snapshots emerge glimpses of leisurely pursuits such as skiing under sunny Swiss skies or enjoying vibrant flowerbeds adorned with tulips, pansies, and stocks - reminders that life continues amidst economic ups and downs. Discover how cotton was processed using fulling stocks - ancient tools that played a crucial role in textile production. These remnants from another era remind us of humanity's constant quest for progress and innovation. Finally, reflect upon William Hogarth's "Harlots Progress, " where one scene depicts a harlot being arrested while men trade stocks nearby - showcasing how vices coexisted with financial dealings throughout history.
