EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "True depiction Mr. Quinquempoix 1720 Veritable Portrait du tres fameux Seigneur messire Quinquenpoix" is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of foolishness and greed during the Windhandel or Actiehandel of 1720. The image showcases a brewing kettle, symbolizing the frenzy of speculation, in which coins are transformed into shares. Above this scene, we see a portrait medallion of John Law as Mr. Quinquempoix, the central figure responsible for promoting these speculative investments. Surrounding him is a witch's cauldron filled with devils and owls, representing the dark forces at play in this financial madness. Adding to the surreal atmosphere is the portrait de Zotheid adorned with a crown made of peacock feathers and holly leaves. Above it all hangs a banderole with an intriguing phrase: "1 Or Shit or King" encapsulating both the allure and absurdity of chasing wealth through risky ventures. Printed within a larger plate featuring French verses on both sides, this particular print holds its place as number 37 in the series "Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid". Created by Guillaume Duvivier in either 1712 or 1720 using paper engraving techniques, it stands as an important historical document capturing one of history's most notorious financial bubbles. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece for posterity, allowing us to reflect upon past follies while reminding us to approach matters of finance with caution and wisdom.
