WSJ usually has a good let them all in open border position. I’ll check the fine print on the 1889 edition to see.

The “money honeys” look a lot better today.

Papers in 1889 had the ability to print photos like that? I never seen that, plus the type looks very modern.

The fact that they had to invent a fake 1889 page rather than refer to a real one undermines ZeroHedge's point.

Of course, ZeroHedge was started by a criminal right after the 2008 market crash, and for the whole 5 years of its existence, it has been claiming that the 2008 crash was just the first leg of an even bigger crash that will happen very, very soon.

Eventually there will be another one, I'm sure.

And when it happens, ZeroHedge will claim to have predicted it, just like goldbugs predicted from 1973 to the mid-2000s that there would be a huge run on gold.

It only took them 30 years to get it right.

This is ZeroHedge. They got this page from Dan Rather and Mary Mapes.

Joke? WSJ is celebrating their 125th B-day, and the cover they did is how today's WSJ would cover the July 08, 1889 edition.

ZH was merely commenting on such actions.

Stupidity on my part. No way ZH would come up with something this elaborate themselves.

It is clearly a Lithograph.
