Ingot is my trust, Satire on value of gold and money - A Vintage Engraving
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage engraving from the 1890s takes us back to a time when satire was used as a powerful tool to critique society's obsession with wealth. The image portrays an allegory that humorously mocks the love of money and greed. In the center, we see a prominent ingot, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. However, instead of being revered or protected, it is comically adorned with various elements that reflect our insatiable desire for material possessions. A bag overflowing with coins hangs from one corner while a coat of arms proudly displays symbols associated with opulence. The artist's clever use of color adds depth to this satirical scene. The vibrant hues draw attention to the absurdity of our infatuation with money in contrast to more meaningful values such as compassion or integrity. Through this illustration and painting, created over a century ago by Duncan1890, we are reminded that wealth should not be blindly trusted nor pursued at any cost. This timeless message remains relevant today as it did during the Victorian era when extravagant displays of affluence were prevalent. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, let us reflect on our own relationship with money and consider whether true fulfillment lies in its accumulation or in something far more profound.
