(Mississippi Bubble) Missisippi of 't Wydbefaamde Goudland door de inbeelding der Windnegotie [Mississippi or the widely famed Goldland through the imagination of the Wind Trade (idiomatic Dutch for "speculative financial schemes")]

A powerful satire on the 1720 financial crisis, this intricate engraving comes from Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid, also known as "The Mirror of Folly". Its vivid scenes critique the speculative frenzy and ensuing ruin brought about by the Mississippi Bubble, one of history's most infamous financial catastrophes.
