ANTIQUE 1720 DUTCH BROADSIDE WITH MULTIPLE ENGRAVINGS & TEXT, MISSISSIPPI
ANTIQUE 1720 DUTCH BROADSIDE WITH MULTIPLE  ENGRAVINGS & TEXT, MISSISSIPPI.  This listing is for an antique 1720 Dutch Broadside with heading (rough translation online) The imagination ruler of booksellers guild; Mississippi doesn't waste any Vrankijh treasures here. The multiple engraving images appear to be a satire of the international crisis in the history of financial capitalism, the "Mississippi scheme" (1718-1720) of the French Compagnie d'Occident and the speculations its stock led to the complete ruin of many of its over-eager French, Dutch and English shareholders. The center image shows a woman painting a beautiful image of a ship sailing on the Mississippi. Around her are assorted small cherub like children (some reading, other talking, a box with rats, etc.) In the corners are images of gold mines and a Native smoking a pipe; a group of people in period costume while a man on horseback hands out paper bills with numbers on them (I assume this is John Law sharing his investment scheme); 2 men standing alongside a river raft trying to hand out paper (more investment schemes); and the last panel show 2 men seated smoking pipes while another man makes pipes (golden). All with Dutch titles, inscriptions, and 3 columns of text
. The piece has edge wear and tears as well as creases as seen in photos but is in Very Good Condition.  The center engraving is embossed, images are Crisp and Clear as is the writing.  The piece measures approx. 15-1/2" BY 15-1/4" (when open) and when packed SECURELY for shipping, it weighs 1 pound.
