The deadly upas tree of Wall Street by Joseph Ferdinand Keppler, 1882. Large, old tree at the edge of body of water with Albany, on the right, in the background, and the Capitol on the left, in the background. Many coins with '$' and a few blossoms labelled 'Bribes for Legislation, Bribes for Lawyers, Bribes for Judges, Bribes for Editors, [and] Bribes for Congress'. Telegraph lines are tangled in the branches and the face of Jay Gould is formed by limbs and branches at centre.
