🤖 This image is a composite with two main elements. On the left, there’s a line graph titled “South Sea Stock December 1718 – December 1721” that tracks the historical stock price of the South Sea Company. The graph shows significant volatility with annotations marking key moments: “Newton invests a bit,” “Newton exits happy,” “Newton’s friends get rich,” “Newton re-enters with a lot,” and “Newton exits broke.” On the right is a stylized caricature of Sir Isaac Newton with exaggerated, grotesque features, including bloodshot eyes with tears of blood and a pale, distressed expression. Below the graph is a citation of sources: Marc Faber, Jeremy Grantham, Sir Isaac Newton. This image is likely intended as a satirical commentary on Newton’s financial misadventure in the South Sea Bubble.
