EDITORS COMMENTS
Get Money Money still (coloured engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century society, with its satirical portrayal of financial pursuits and societal stereotypes. Created by Thomas Rowlandson in 1808, this print offers a humorous and thought-provoking commentary on the pursuit of wealth. In this image, we are transported to a bustling city scene where conversations about money dominate. The artist skillfully depicts financiers engaged in animated discussions, their gestures emphasizing their eagerness for financial gain. Amidst the crowd, Alexander Pope's famous quote "Get Money Money still, And then let virtue follow if she will" serves as a reminder that materialism often takes precedence over moral values. Rowlandson's work also delves into racial stereotypes prevalent during that era. While it is important to acknowledge historical context when interpreting such imagery today, it is evident that the artist aimed to amuse rather than perpetuate harmful beliefs. The inclusion of Jewish characters adds another layer to the narrative surrounding finance and services associated with money. This coloured engraving from Bridgeman Images showcases Rowlandson's talent for capturing both social satire and amusing anecdotes within his artistry. It invites viewers to reflect on our own relationship with money and question whether virtuous intentions always follow monetary success.
