Halsabschneiden in Wall Street,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and satirical cartoon from Puck magazine in 1881, masterfully created by the brilliant minds of Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam. This colorful lithograph, a testament to the 19th century's American artistic heritage, offers a humorous take on the bustling Wall Street scene. The image depicts a group of men, each wielding a knife, standing before a New York Stock Exchange building facade. The men, dressed in suits, are intently focused on the cow tied to a post nearby. The cows' money bags dangle from their necks, symbolizing the connection between the financial industry and agriculture during this era. The title "Halsabschneiden," which translates to "throat-slitting," adds a layer of dark humor to the scene. This parody of Wall Street traders, portrayed as butchers, satirizes the cutthroat nature of the stock exchange. This cartoon, published in Puck, a popular American magazine, serves as an intriguing snapshot of the past. It offers a unique perspective on the financial world during the 1880s, showcasing the concept of money and trade through a satirical lens. Today, this historic piece is a valuable addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, preserving the rich artistic and historical legacy of the United States.
