Very fine engraving, platemark 335 x 220mm (13¼ x 8½"), with very large margins.
Although claiming to represent the muse Calliope (associated with epic poetry), the work from which this derives is traditionally believed to by Terpsichore (associated with music).

Together, they were installed as the 'Chambre des Muses' at the Lambert's residence, Hôtel Lambert in Paris. Le Sueur, a founder of French classicism long considered the 'French Raphael', decorated the room in 1652 with paintings depicting the nine Muses and a ceiling painting of 'Phaeton asking Apollo's Permission to Drive the Chariot of the Sun'. In 1776 the paintings were all sold to Louis XVI, and today are in the Louvre. From a folio of engravings recording in details Le Sueur's many works for the Hôtel Lambert.

A reversed English version of a satire on the Mississippi Bubble by Bernard Picart, showing investors eager to buy 'Mississippi Company' shares from the cart of Fortune, led by Folly and drawn by allegorical figures of the various companies (South Sea, Mississippi, West India, East India) and the Bank of England. The spokes of the wheel visible are inscribed with the names of several popular schemes, referring to the York Buildings Company (designed to supply water in London), Mining, Silk Manufacture and others. The Devil is sat on a cloud, blowing bubbles. Next to him rays emanate from a cloud, naming the consequences of economic speculation: 'Extream Joy', 'Madness', 'Prison', 'Beggery' etc. In the background buildings are named: 'Jonathan's', the coffee house famous as a scene of early share trading (replacing John Law's home, Quinquenpoix, in Picart's original); Bethlehem, the mental hospital famed as Bedlam; and the 'Hos. of Beggers'. This English version was originally published in 1720; this example was published by his nephew Carington Bowles, who took over his business in 1762.
