The Great Influx of Gold and Silver - A Humorous Take on Historical Economics
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This amusing engraving from the 19th century captures the comical side of a significant historical event - the great influx of gold and silver from the New World in 1549. Depicted by American School, this print showcases how this newfound wealth caused an unexpected increase in the price of commodities. With a touch of humor, this image portrays people's reactions to this economic shift. The exaggerated expressions on their faces reflect both surprise and amusement at the unforeseen consequences brought about by such a tremendous influx of precious metals. The illustration was created for Bill Nye's History of England, published by Lippincott in 1896. It is part of a series featuring witty illustrations by W. M. Goodes and A. M. Richards that bring history to life with their clever visual storytelling. While highlighting an important moment in English history, this artwork also pokes fun at human nature's tendency to react unexpectedly when faced with sudden changes in fortune. It serves as a reminder that even historic events can be seen through a humorous lens. Digitally cleaned for clarity, this print offers viewers an entertaining glimpse into European economics during that time period while showcasing Bridgeman Images' vast collection of fine art prints available for private use.
