J. P. Morgan as a stock-market bull blows bubbles labeled “Inflated Values” as many deluded investors reach for them.
Comments and Context
The immediate inspirations for this cartoon Keppler were J. P. Morgan’s organization and capitalization (some said over-capitalization) of the United States Steel Corporation at the time of this drawing, and the brief but unsettling panic on Wall Street caused by the machinations of Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and other financiers during the formation of the new company.
