(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.
