Caption: "Trafalgar Square today was a scene of an original demonstration against the Bretton Woods Agreement. A man who gave his nom de plume as W. Graham appears dressed up as a Dolla Magnate with a huge cigar and a silk topper with a dollar sign in front of it. He was accompanied by a woman chained to him by several yards of heavy 'golden' chain, representing the 'gold standard'. She carried a banner with a slogan 'To Hell with Bretton Woods'. The Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world's major industrial states in the mid-20th century. A landmark system for monetary and exchange rate management established in 1944. The Bretton Woods Agreement was developed at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, from July 1 to July 22, 1944.
