EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1907, titled "Worshipping the Almighty Dollar" offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the materialistic tendencies of society during the early 20th century. The image depicts a crowded cathedral filled with congregants who have gathered not for spiritual solace but to venerate and worship the all-powerful dollar sign. The scene is both mesmerizing and unsettling as it showcases an upper-class congregation fully immersed in their devotion to wealth. The grand columns and arches of the gothic cathedral provide an opulent backdrop, emphasizing the blasphemous nature of this idolatrous act. Intriguingly, this vintage illustration serves as a stark reminder of our ongoing struggle with greed and avarice. It highlights how money can become an object of worship, blurring the lines between religion and materialism. As we observe this congregation engrossed in their pursuit of riches, one cannot help but ponder on themes such as wealth disparity and social inequality. This image seems to symbolize not only the power held by those at the top (the infamous "one percent") but also questions whether true fulfillment can be found solely through monetary gain. Through its intricate details and masterful engraving technique, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our own relationship with money and what truly holds value in our lives.
