EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Bombario, the Hunchback, who was used as a Writing-Desk by the Brokers and who, in this Way, earned Pound 6000 in a few days" transports us to pre-revolutionary France. This intriguing artwork by the French School of the 19th century showcases an extraordinary individual named Bombario. In this bustling financial scene, brokers utilize Bombario's unique physical condition as an advantage. The hunchback serves as a writing desk for these astute businessmen, enabling them to conduct their speculative activities with remarkable efficiency. Astonishingly, within just a few days of fulfilling this role, Bombario earns an impressive sum of Pound 6000. This illustration is featured in Paul Lacroix's book "The XVIIIth Century" published by Bickers and Son around 1880. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of finance during that era. The image encapsulates both the allure and complexity surrounding speculation and wealth accumulation during pre-revolutionary times. Bombario's story highlights how individuals from all walks of life could find unconventional ways to thrive amidst societal norms and expectations. His ability to adapt his physical attributes into something valuable demonstrates resilience and resourcefulness. Through this engraving, we are reminded of France's rich cultural history while also contemplating themes such as exploitation, ambition, and human ingenuity. It serves as a testament to art's power in capturing significant moments from our past
