EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Stock Exchange in London, 1720. Painted by James Cole, this artwork titled "The Bubblers bubbl'd, or the Devil take the hindmost" provides a satirical commentary on the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1711-1720. The image showcases the interior of the Stock Exchange bustling with figures displaying a range of emotions from pleasure to dismay. Each person holds leaflets that describe their profit or loss during this speculative period. Intriguingly, at the center of attention stands a stand bearing a scroll inscribed with a list of bubbles, symbolizing various investment schemes that ultimately led to financial ruin for many individuals. This engraving serves as both an artistic depiction and political critique on greed and speculation prevalent during that time. The composition beautifully portrays eighteenth-century dress and architecture within England's City of London. It is housed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, offering viewers an opportunity to delve into historical finance through art. As we observe this monochrome scene filled with men engrossed in their investments, it reminds us how human nature can be swayed by profit-seeking motives even centuries ago. This print not only documents an important event but also serves as a cautionary tale about unchecked speculation in any era.
