EDITORS COMMENTS
The satirical print titled "Natural stock doctor, or bubbling bubble master" captures the essence of the Mississippi Bubble scandal that unfolded in 1720. Created by an anonymous Dutch artist from the 18th century, this engraving offers a scathing satire on the financial collapse and scandal surrounding the Mississippi and South Sea Companies. In this caricature, we see a portrait of a doctor who is portrayed as both a natural stock doctor and a bubbling bubble master. The image cleverly reflects the speculative nature of the stock market during that time, with exaggerated features highlighting the absurdity of it all. The artist's intention becomes clear as they depict John Law, one of history's most infamous figures associated with financial speculation. Through this satirical cartoon, they aim to expose not only Law but also the broader issues within finance and capitalism during that era. With intricate details and sharp wit, this Dutch School masterpiece serves as a reminder of how greed and unchecked speculation can lead to disastrous consequences. It stands as an enduring symbol for those who seek to understand historical events through art. This print is part of Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection—a treasure trove for enthusiasts interested in European history, satire, caricature artistry or simply appreciating exceptional works from centuries past.
