"Satire on the South Sea Bubble: mezzotint showing a mourner holding an empty money bag upside down. Above, an emblematic image with, from left to right, a failed investor holding a torn paper reading, "Poverty is at an end"; a man falling from clouds; a dove bearing a message saying "Nothing but Disappointments"; two men opening a strong box and finding nothing but bubbles inside; a total eclipse of the sun; another man falling from clouds; a man being pushed by the devil holding a note reading, "Speed my feet to the Mint". Below, a mock coat of arms with, as supporters, asses holding cornucopias through which men and money fall; as the crest, a Janus head; on the shield, four quarters, with castles in the air, a debtors' prison, three empty money bags and a beggar; as the motto, "Mar del Zud".On either side are lists of financial enterprises, actual and speculative, including the Pennsylvania Company (with verses mocking "Saints" and their "quaking friends"), insurance, mining, fisheries, textile and other manufactories, import schemes, and "making China in England", "making Iron with Pit Coal", "Engine to remove ye S. Sea House to Moorfields", (i.e., Bedlam), "Insurance against ye Venereal Disease", "Insurance of Maidenheads", Westley's "Actions" and Welby's "Golden Mines".Satire on the South Sea Bubble: mezzotint showing a mourner holding an empty money bag upside down.
