EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in history, as investors flock to the worship of Mammon in the bustling City of London. The year is 1889, and the streets are filled with eager individuals seeking their fortunes in commerce and trade. The image showcases a sea of top-hatted men, all vying for their piece of the financial pie.
The term "Mammon" refers to wealth or material gain, often associated with greed and excess. In this scene, it is clear that these investors are consumed by their desire for monetary success, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
The backdrop of the historic City of London serves as a reminder of the long-standing tradition of commerce and finance in Britain. The stock exchange looms large in the background, symbolizing the power and influence that money holds over society.
As we look at this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of how little has changed over time when it comes to our obsession with wealth and prosperity. The allure of Mammon continues to draw people into its grasp, driving them to pursue riches at any cost.
