Description

This intricate engraving depicts the frenetic activity on Rue Quincampoix in Paris during the early 18th century, which was central to the speculative trading frenzy known as the Mississippi Bubble. John Law's financial schemes and the subsequent collapse of his Banque Générale are vividly illustrated through the detailed scenes and allegorical elements. The central vignette shows traders and investors engaged in frantic transactions within a large hall, surrounded by various satirical and symbolic images highlighting the folly and chaos of the financial speculation. This engraving was part of a series called The Great Mirror of Folly (Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid), which documents the economic turmoil and societal impacts of the speculative bubble.
