EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Bubble Companies" by Arthur Lumley depicts a chaotic scene of financial speculation and wealth battles on Wall Street in the late 19th century. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for William Worthington Fowler's book "Ten Years In Wall Street". In this intricate artwork, we witness the clash between various money men and stock traders in Manhattan. The image captures the frenzy and mania surrounding bubble companies during that era. As these individuals confront each other, it becomes evident that their pursuit of dividends and financial success has led to a fierce confrontation. The artist skillfully portrays the conflict through his attention to detail, showcasing a brawl-like atmosphere where individuals fight against one another for their share of wealth. This battle scene serves as a powerful visual representation of the intense competition and speculative nature prevalent in American finance at the time. Located within New York City's bustling streetscape, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American economic history. It reminds us of how greed and ambition can drive people to engage in cutthroat tactics while seeking fortune. "Bubble Companies" is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a historical document reflecting America's relentless pursuit of prosperity during its formative years as an emerging global power.
