EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical illustration by Frederick Burr Opper, titled "The Little Napoleon of Wall Street in Exile," captures the downfall of Ferdinand Ward, a notorious figure in American finance during the late 19th century. Depicted as Napoleon I sitting on a pile of stones labeled "Ludlow St. St. Helena," Ward is exiled from the financial world and left to contemplate his fate in isolation.
Set against the backdrop of the New York City skyline, Ward's exile is symbolized by the desolate island he finds himself on, surrounded by water and far removed from his former life of wealth and power. The signs on buildings in the background reflect public sentiment towards Ward, with phrases like "I don't know Ferdinand Ward" and "Never heard of Ward" highlighting how quickly he has been forgotten.
Through this clever portrayal, Opper captures both the hubris and downfall of a man who once wielded immense influence on Wall Street but ultimately met his demise due to fraudulent activities. The detailed imagery and subtle symbolism make this print a thought-provoking commentary on greed, corruption, and consequences in the world of finance.
