The World's Exchanges" is a color lithograph published in New York by Root & Tinker around 1886, and its subject headings place it among images of stock exchanges in both Europe and the United States during the 1880s. The title suggests a side-by-side view of trading floors across several countries, a theme that suited the decade's rapid growth in railroad and industrial securities and the public appetite for news of speculation. Lithographs like this were inexpensive and widely circulated, so they offer a window into how ordinary Americans pictured Wall Street and its overseas counterparts. Its copyright notice is a useful clue to its commercial origins.
