EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kings of Wall Street: A Gathering of Financiers and Tycoons (circa 1882) This photograph, titled "The Kings of Wall Street," offers a glimpse into the world of finance during the Gilded Age of American history. Taken around 1882, this image captures a group of influential financiers and industrialists who ruled the New York Stock Exchange and shaped the economic landscape of the United States. Among the distinguished figures in this photograph are some of the most notable names in American business history. From left to right, we see: 1. Jay Gould, a railroad magnate and stock market speculator. 2. James Fisk, a financier and partner of Jay Gould. 3. Daniel Drew, a railroad and stock market speculator. 4. Cornelius Vanderbilt, a railroad tycoon and shipping magnate. 5. August Belmont, a financier and political figure. 6. William H. Vanderbilt, a railroad and shipping heir. 7. William Waldorf Astor, a real estate and financial magnate. 8. James J. Hill, a railroad magnate and industrialist. 9. Rufus Oldenburgh, a stockbroker. 10. Sidney Webster, a financier. 11. Cyrus Field, a businessman and promoter of the transatlantic telegraph cable. 12. Russell Sage, a financier and philanthropist. 13. J.P. Morgan, a financier and banker. 14. John Pierpont Morgan, Sr., a financier and banker. 15. Thomas Fortune Ryan, a financier and political figure. 16. William Ballou, a financier and banker. These men, collectively known as the "robber barons," were notorious for their ruthless business practices and monopolistic tendencies. They amassed vast fortunes through their business dealings and wielded significant political power. Despite their controversial reputations, they played a pivotal role in shaping the American economy and leaving a lasting impact on the country's financial landscape. This photograph, a testament to the power and influence of these financial titans, remains an intriguing and captivating piece of American history.
