Tulip mania (Dutch: tulpenmanie) 

 Jan Davidsz de Heem

Period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637.[2] It is generally considered the first recorded speculative bubble. For example, a tulip known as "the Viceroy" (shown below), was offered for sale for between 3,000 and 4,200 guilders (florins) depending on size (aase). A skilled craftsworker at the time earned about 300 guilders a year.
