EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ferdinand Ward, known as the "Little Napoleon of Wall Street" during his time in exile. The image depicts a cartoon representation of Ward, created by Frederick Burr Opper for Puck magazine in October 1885. Ward was once a prominent and corrupt investor who swindled countless individuals out of their hard-earned money. However, after his fraudulent activities were exposed, he found himself abandoned by those who had once been his friends during his lavish "flush" days. In this artwork, Ward is portrayed as Napoleon Bonaparte in exile, with the iconic New York City skyline serving as a backdrop. This clever comparison highlights the downfall and isolation that Ward experienced following his exposure as a con man. The artist's skillful use of satire and symbolism adds depth to this piece. By depicting Ward as Napoleon, Opper emphasizes both the grandeur and ultimate demise of an individual who wielded immense power but ultimately succumbed to corruption. This print serves not only as a historical artifact but also as a cautionary tale about greed and deceit within the world of finance. It reminds us that even those who appear invincible can be brought down by their own actions.
