Description
Civil War: Satirical Oil Speculators Cartoon. 19.5" x 12" cartoon published by Magee of Philadelphia in 1865, titled "Gulltown in an Uproar!! Terrific excitement at the Office of the Munchausen & Gull Creek Grand Consolidated Oil Company. Astonishing demand for Stock." Gullible speculators can't seem to purchase stock quick enough. A streetcar to the Lunatic Asylum and the State Prison appear in the background. Pennsylvania experienced an oil boom during the Civil War period which drew in many investors, including none other than John Wilkes Booth.Auction Info
