The Brabant Skreen, 1721 - A Satire on the South Sea Company
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of scandalous intrigue during the infamous South Sea Bubble of the 18th century. Depicting a scene from social caricature, it showcases the Duchess of Kendal, Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg, secretly aiding Robert Knight, treasurer of the company, in his escape. The image portrays an elegant female figure dressed in regal attire - undoubtedly representing royalty. The Duchess discreetly hands over money to Knight while maintaining her composure amidst chaos. Her actions suggest complicity with Knight's questionable financial dealings within the South Sea Company. Intriguingly, this artwork sheds light on the political landscape of Britain at that time. Notably present is Sir Robert Walpole, often regarded as one of Britain's most influential politicians and later becoming its first Duke of Newcastle. His presence hints at deeper connections between politics and finance during this turbulent period. Created by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds) in 1905 as part of "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" this print exemplifies Symonds' talent for capturing historical moments through artistry. With meticulous attention to detail and over two hundred illustrations included in her work, she brings to life significant events such as these within British history. As we gaze upon this intriguing image today, it serves as a reminder not only of past financial scandals
