A figure about 7 meters high stands in front of the bank building in Luxembourg. It depicts a person
of normal body circumference but stretched to a height of 7 meters, who thus looks extremely slender
and stretched. A closer look shows the figure to be an English banker with his typical, but here of
course also stretched accessories: umbrella, briefcase, and possibly also a bowler hat. As an emblem
of an entire occupational group, he indicates the use of the building behind him. The scale of the
long banker triggers humorous associations of growth, success, optimization, and profit. The unusual
stature is visible from afar and has a character emblematic for the bank building.
