The tapeworm - Public domain drawing
Summary
Several ticker tapes stream from a machine, ensnaring unlucky investors, money bags, a ship, a house, and the entrance of a stock broker's office to which people frantically flock. One man supports a woman who has fainted in his arms. In a separately framed vignette, two men, one frustrated, the other, calm and happy, examine a ticker tape.
In the publication, the drawing accompanies a satirical poem about the power of stock market investments over people and their possessions.
