South Sea Bubble 1720

The South Sea Bubble. A satirical image showing a goat sitting atop the human wheel of fortune with a sign saying Who'l I Ride just below. There is a winged devil with a scythe on the left, throwing chunks of Fortune's body to a greedy crowd and at the bottom, Trade lies dead. The monument on the right reads: This monument was erected in memory of the destruction of the city by the South Sea in 1720'. This refers to the financial crisis in Britain in 1720 when the South Sea Company offered to take on over half the national debt in return for further concessions. It's 100 shares rapidly rose to 1000 before the bubble burst, leaving thousands ruined
