EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century cartoon, titled "The Stock Exchange," is a colorful and satirical work by renowned Puck magazine contributors Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam, created between 1880 and 1889. The image showcases a lively scene at the New York Stock Exchange, with various men, including a stockbroker, a swindler, and a gambler, engaged in intense negotiations and transactions. The cartoon masterfully employs vivid colors and intricate details to illustrate the concept of the stock market during the Gilded Age in America. The central figure, a stockbroker, is depicted wearing a top hat and holding a sword, symbolizing the power and authority he wields in the financial world. The swindler, with a sly grin, is shown attempting to deceive an unsuspecting man, while the gambler, with a smirk, holds a deck of cards and a monopoly game piece. The background is filled with a myriad of other figures, each representing various professions and occupations, all vying for their share of the financial pie. This satirical work is a testament to the political and social climate of the United States during the late 1800s, highlighting the corruption, fraud, and warfare that permeated the stock market. The image is a valuable addition to the heritage of American art and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the stock market and its impact on the country's development. This piece, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, politics, and the United States during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the lithograph make it a stunning addition to any collection or display, and the satirical commentary on the stock market and its players continues to resonate with audiences today.
