Whistler, Reginald John 'Rex'
Reginald John 'Rex' Whistler (June 24, 1905 - July 18, 1944) was a British artist. Born in Eltham, Kent, Whistler was the son of an architect. Whistler was a very successful portraitist, painting several members of London's high society, a group that came to be known as the 'Bright Young Things' (of which he was a part). He was commissioned by Shell Petroleum and Radio Times to create illustrations and posters. His best known early work is a mural painted for the restaurant at the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) completed in 1927 at the age of 22. When World War II broke out, Whistler signed up, even though he was 35. He was commissioned a Second lieutenant in the Welsh Guards. He was killed in action on July 18, 1944, in Normany, France, by a mortar.

This is a 1933 Rex Whistler pictorial map of the London Stock Exchange. Whistler employs allegory to highlight investment opportunities, barriers to entry, and the high-risk nature of investment. It reflects the economic craziness of the early 1930s, a period wracked by global economic downturn of the Great Depression, increased globalization and diversification, the abandonment of the Gold Standard, and the introduction of heightened government oversight, tariffs, and regulation.
