Painting “Flora’s mallewagen” by Hendrik Gerritsz Pot (1580-1657) via Wikimedia Commons. In this allegory of the Tulip Mania, the goddess of flowers is riding along with three drinking and money weighing men and two women on a car. Weavers from Haarlem have thrown away their equipment and are following the car. The destiny of the car is shown in the background: it will disappear in the sea.
