JOHN PIERPONT MORGAN (1837-1913) - Wall Street Bubbles - Always the Same
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph cartoon from 1901, we witness the iconic figure of John Pierpont Morgan, a titan of Wall Street during the early 20th century. Depicted as a formidable bull, Morgan is seen blowing bubbles filled with inflated stocks to entice eager investors. This satirical portrayal by an American artist captures the essence of Morgan's influence and power in shaping the financial landscape. The image symbolizes both the allure and danger of speculative investments during that era. As a minotaur-like character with his signature moustache and pipe, Morgan embodies the upper class elite who controlled vast wealth and manipulated stock prices for their own gain. The exaggerated bubble imagery represents the precarious nature of these inflated stocks, which were bound to burst eventually. Published in Puck magazine, known for its political satire, this cartoon serves as a parody on how Wall Street operated at that time. It sheds light on issues such as market manipulation and inflation while highlighting Morgan's role as one of its central figures. This historical print offers us a glimpse into an era when finance was dominated by powerful individuals like J. P. Morgan. It reminds us that despite changing times, some aspects of human nature remain constant – greed and speculation being among them – making it truly timeless art capturing an important moment in American history.
