In applying the language of ghostliness and magic lantern dissolves to the financial transaction of a sale, Punch’s humorous poem brings to mind the spectral language of Marx and Engels and the famous line that “all that is solid melts into the air.” 89 The spectral illusions blur the line between physical and imaginative dissolution one final time.
