World's Mill, 1720

The World's Carousel. A carousel in which the wind traders standing in the buckets try to obtain share certificates that are scattered by figures (a farmer and inhabitants of the South Sea, Mississippi and West Indies) standing on the poles of the carousel. In the foreground other gentlemen wait for their ride in the carousel, to the right desperate shareholders. In the background left Vianen, right ships at sea. With caption in four columns by Philadelphus. Print in the bound first edition (304 B 11) of Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid with satirical prints on the Wind Trade or Share Trading of 1720.
