Coin & Conscience: Popular Views of
Money, Credit and Speculation
http://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/cc/
In 1986, the Baker Library at the Harvard Business School issued
a rather elaborate exhibition catalog that presented a
collection of materials from the Bleichroeder Collection of
prints. These prints ranged in date from the sixteenth to
nineteenth century, and included images of stock exchanges,
money lenders, corruption, and other such related topics. This
exhibit is essentially an updated and greatly enhanced version
of this original exhibit, and it is a true delight. Visitors
have access here to a great selection of images divided into
such contentious and intriguing categories as "Politics and
War", "Speculation and Credit", and "Vanity and Virtue:
Allegories on the Pursuit of Riches". There are a few images
that should not be missed, including "The Unhappy Lot of the
Rich" by Phillip Gale and "The Ill-Sorted Couple" by that old
master, Albrecht Durer. The site is rounded out by a nice
bibliography for those with a further penchant for works
including "Religious Factors in Early Dutch Capitalism,
1550-1650".
