DescriptionThe deadly upas tree of Wall Street LCCN2012647280.jpg |
English: Title: "The Deadly Upas Tree of Wall Street."
Abstract: Print shows a large, old tree at the edge of body of water with Albany, N.Y. on the right, in the background, and the U.S. Capitol on the left, in the background. Hanging from the branches are many coins with "$" and a few blossoms labeled "Bribes for Legislation, Bribes for Lawyers, Bribes for Judges, Bribes for Editors, [and] Bribes for Congress". Telegraph lines are tangled in the branches and the face of Jay Gould is formed by limbs and branches at center. The bodies of several people lay among the debris beneath the tree; Roscoe Conkling is slumped against a row of buildings and a railroad, "Westbro[?]" has expired over the same row of buildings, a skull is labeled "Jim Fisk" next to "Whitlaw Reid", Ulysses S. Grant, at center, is labeled "Black Friday", beneath a railroad is the body of a woman labeled "Stockholder", against the trunk of the tree is a man labeled "Stock Holder E.R.R." who looks a little like Cornelius Vanderbilt, and on the right is Alonzo Cornell labeled "Blind Pool". All appear to have succumbed to greed through the machinations of Jay Gould. Physical description: 1 print : chromolithograph. Notes: Copyright 1882 by Keppler & Schwarzmann.; J.
