The title's single word, "Finis," Latin for "the end," sets the tone of this 1929 cartoon on the stock market crash and suggests its maker saw the collapse as a final verdict on the speculative boom. Halftone reproduction, which broke images into dot patterns that presses could print in quantity, let newspapers and magazines run such commentary within days of events. Cartoons of the crash often drew on images of ruin and panic to express the disbelief and anger of readers who had watched fortunes evaporate in late October.
