The BBC documentary series History of the World covers the story of the tulip trade in Amsterdam, on the first stock market of the world. Also the famous Tulip Mania is covered in the documentary.
Tulip mania was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels. The major acceleration started in 1634 and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history.
For this documentary Featurez researched bulb field locations, filming at the Amsterdam stock exchange and archive research.
