With the AUD running so high last year (2012) we traveled to EU and UK for a holiday. I bought all my souvenirs from the flea markets and second-hand shops. We don’t get traditional or historical things here in Australia. We left via Frankfurt and spent the day in town having a look at the local scene. I checked out some collectables shops and found one with heaps of old prints for sale. I bought a 300 year old print called Des Waerrelds …. “The actions and designs of the world go round as if in a mill.”    More Here.

As soon as I saw it I knew it was about the markets and how they were depicted years ago in fact around 1720. I was excited I had actually been wanting a book on trading from the 1800’s, but a picture tells a thousand words. Now days when I look at it, I quite often ask myself. “How have the markets changed in the last 300 years? ”

My thoughts only. Raef
