Description: A print satirising the evils of gambling and speculation with reference to the South Sea Bubble. It shows a London street scene with various kinds of gambling taking place. In the centre, a merry-go-round (the human wheel of fortune) has a goat on a pillar above it, bearing a label "Who'l ride". On the left, a winged devil with a scythe throws pieces of Fortune's body to a greedy crowd. A monument on the right commemorates 'the destructon of this city by the South Sea in 1720', its text being an alteration of a contemporary London monument to the Great Fire of 1666. Representatives of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths are gambling in the lower left foreground. In the lower right-hand corner, Trade lies dead. A poem below the work acts as a key to several letters of the alphabet on the print. This print, one of Hogarth's earliest, first published in 1721, was re-issued as late as 1809, engraved by Thomas Cook and published by Longman, Hurst, Rees & Orme, 1 August 1809.
