In 1929 most stock investors believed the market would rise forever. Economist Irving Fisher proclaimed, “Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.” The October 1929 crash brought the Roaring Twenties to a shuddering halt.

Jesse Livermore nicknamed The Boy Plunger bet against the market and would earn 100 million dollars from the crash of 1929.

With the rapid growth of publishing in America during and
following the Civil War, and into the early 20th century, a new audience for
illustrations was formed. This led to the “golden age of illustration.” With
the imagery for such stories as Robin Hood, Kidnapped and Treasure Island,
created in such periodicals as Harper’s Weekly and Monthly, The Saturday
Evening Post, and Collier’s Weekly as well as major publishers such as
Scribner’s, a small group of illustrators became highly successful. Among the
best known illustrators and artists of that period were N.C. Wyeth, Andrew
Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Frank Schoonover and others. During this presentation, you
will visit their Brandywine studios, their works and the lives of these
artists. Mario Medici has visited the Brandywine area on several occasions in
order to prepare this presentation.  No registration necessary.

feature length cartoons like Snow White, Bambi, and Pinocchio, to television
programming like The Wonderful World of Disney, from theme park that span the

their new streaming service Disney+, to ownership of the greatest collection of
