1720016057The Netherlands: Unknown 1720 Book. Illus. by Unknown. Good. No Binding. ca. 1720 Good Condition Margins Discoloured see photos Sheet size: 40 × 32 cm; Image border: 33 × 26 cm A standalone anonymous satirical print from around 1720 issued as a separate broadside during the Windhandel speculative mania. Attributed to an anonymous Dutch engraver of the early 18th century The style corresponds to Amsterdam and Haarlem satirical print production of ca. 1719-1721 in which artists such as Jan Goeree Cornelis Troost and various anonymous pamphlet engravers were active. Without a signature however the attribution remains uncertain. Date Circa 1720 during the height of the European speculative bubbles South Sea Bubble Mississippi Bubble and the Dutch Windhandel. Dimensions Sheet: 40 × 32 cm Image border: 33 × 26 cm Condition Paper aged and discoloured with even browning/toning typical of 18th-century prints. Light edge wear and small points of foxing without any loss of image content. Impression sharp and complete. Description A satirical engraving mocking the speculative frenzy and widespread losses during the Windhandel. The composition is densely populated with figures chaotically trading worthless "acties" shares. At the centre are frustrated investors a man vomiting up his share papers another being pushed into a barrel and a figure rising into the air with balloons-a classic symbol of inflated expectations. In the background appear horsemen a crowd gathered around a tree marked "Vaanen" and a distant town. The scene serves as a moralising warning against greed gullibility and market madness. Explanation of the text The verses beneath the image are typical of satirical prints of this period: moralising rhythmic and intended to admonish the viewer. The text describes among other things: - how the "sick" speculator vomits up his shares - how the share price drops hour by hour - how the investor loses his money honour and peace of mind - how the city is overrun by beggars ruined by the Windhandel. The tone is sharp and mocking: the speculator is portrayed as someone who brings about his own downfall through greed and foolishness. Background information The print refers to the Windhandel in the Dutch Republic 1719-1720 a period in which: - countless worthless or fictitious companies issued shares - citizens invested en masse in speculative ventures - the market collapsed and many lost their fortunes. These prints were often distributed as pamphlets and served as social commentary. They were popular among printers in Amsterdam Leiden and Haarlem who capitalised on public outrage. The balloonist the barrel the burning papers and the desperate crowd are recurring iconographic motifs in Windhandel prints forming a visual language of warning satire and moral instruction.
