The Ideal City

An interesting and humorous depiction of an "Ideal City," designed by the British illustrator Ronald Lampitt to accompany a piece by John Pudney which appeared in the 17 February 1951 issue of Illustrated Magazine. This imagined city borrows features from several metropolises while leaving out their negative parts. What results is a hodgepodge of architectural styles The Acropolis sits on a hill outside of the city, and other prominent landmarks include King's College Cambridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Piazza Della Signoria in Florence. Closer to the coast, at least three different downtowns are visible, modeled after New York City, the old town of Antibes, and colonial towns in the Carolinas.

(South Sea Bubble) De Zuid Zé Compagnie Door Wind In Top Gerezen Beklaagt nu Haar Verlies Met Een Bekommerd Wezen. [The South Sea Company, once risen high by the wind, now laments its loss with a troubled countenance.]

De Zuid Zé Compagnie Door Wind In Top Gerezen Beklaagt nu Haar Verlies Met Een Bekommerd Wezen, produced anonymously in Amsterdam in 1720, is an engraved broadside that offers a visual critique of the South Sea Bubble. The central image portrays the personification of the South Sea Company, depicted as a contemplative female figure, encircled by documents and accompanied by four putti, among which Fama is notable. Surrounding this central portrayal are vignettes that display human interactions with money, notably a man swallowing coins, and other scenes illustrating the frenzied trading and labor that epitomized this financial disaster.
