Based on the saying ‘Money does not grow on trees’ Charles Fazzino has created a fascinating world on the subject of exchange, money and banks. The proverbial tree loaded with coins and leaves of paper money is rooted in the subway station and grows, flanked by bear and bull, through the New York Stock Exchange into the sky. The detailed composition is complemented by banks of all nations and lettering with stock prices and terms from the world of money.
