The Bubblers Bubbl d or The Devil Take the Hindmost, 1720
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in British history when greed and speculation led to financial ruin. This print, created by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) in 1905, depicts the South Sea Bubble of 1720. In this satirical illustration, we see a bustling cityscape representing London's stock exchange during the height of the bubble. Men clad in period attire fill the streets, consumed by their self-interest and driven by an insatiable desire for wealth. The buildings loom overhead as symbols of power and influence. The South Sea Company's share price skyrocketed due to rampant speculation, attracting countless investors hoping to make quick fortunes. However, this unsustainable frenzy eventually burst like a bubble. In September 1720, shares plummeted dramatically, leaving many ruined financially. This artwork serves as a reminder of the dangers inherent in unchecked greed and dishonesty within finance and politics. It exposes how individuals can be easily swayed by promises of unimaginable riches without considering the consequences. Through over two hundred illustrations like this one included in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century". George Paston sheds light on societal issues prevalent during that era. His monochrome style adds depth to his commentary on human nature and its relationship with money. "The Bubblers Bubbl d or The Devil Take the Hindmost" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it
