Two suited business-men sit knee-to-knee in a luxuriously paneled boardroom, smiling broadly at one another. They are tinted green and limned with green. Behind them stands a rank of child laborers in 19th century workwear, looking miserable. Behind the laborers, a sack of gold coins looms into the frame, spilling a cascade of coins. On the coffee table before the men is a tiny guillotine with a tiny aristocrat about to lose his head while two tiny Jacobins look on.

The heads of the millionaires are more Keppler illos, while the bodies and sofas come from another Thomas Hawk found industrial photo. You'll remember the child coal miners from ""Carbon neutral" Bitcoin operation founded by coal plant operator wasn't actually carbon neutral." I have a vivid memory of carefully cutting out the guillotine and its Jacobins during a boring conference presentation.
