EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving, titled "Quinquanpolix" takes us back to the year 1720 and offers a fascinating glimpse into Dutch satire during that time. The artwork is part of the renowned collection called "Het Groote Tafereel Der Dwaasheid" which comprises various satirical pieces targeting bubble schemes such as the Mississippi and South Sea Companies. In this particular print, we see an intricate illustrative technique employed by the artist to depict John Law of Lauriston, a prominent promoter of these speculative ventures. The use of sanguine engraving adds a touch of romanticism to this historical piece, evoking nostalgia for a bygone era. The image captures the essence of an age when financial bubbles were rampant and investors fell prey to unrealistic promises. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern times, history has its lessons to teach us about greed and speculation. As we admire this antique artwork, we are transported back in time through its Victorian charm and traditional style. Its aged appearance further enhances its historic value, making it not just an engraved image but also a cultural artifact worth cherishing
