- Abstract:
- "A broadside satirising the share mania in Paris; with an etching after a French broadside by Humblot showing a street scene in the rue Quinquempoix with a crowd of people holding various papers, in the right foreground some people fighting; with engraved Dutch title, inscriptions, and verses in three columns."--British Museum online catalogue and "During the Mississippi Bubble’s heyday, trading took place on the rue Quincampoix in Paris. This print, from The Great Mirror of Folly, is based on an engraving by Antoine Humblot commemorating the street as a hub of chaos, lust, and criminality, as well as of unprecedented social mixing. The Dutch version includes foreboding rope nooses, along with placards indicating various commercial schemes as well as the emotional states of those investing in them. At right, a man is apprehended by the police, even as he passes a purloined object to his companion; at center, a woman flirts with a man while appearing to steal his wallet. From a window at left, John Law himself eyes the mayhem. The chiming bell above announces a dealer’s intention to sell."--New York Public Library website
