The Cost of Coals - A Powerful Depiction of Despair and Injustice
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Cost of Coals" an engraving by the English School from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, portrays a deeply emotional scene that evokes both sympathy and outrage. At its center, we see a woman in distress, her head buried in her hands as tears stream down her face. Surrounding her are skeletal figures representing Death itself and coal miners toiling away in hazardous conditions. This thought-provoking composition serves as a poignant commentary on the plight faced by these workers during this era. Through clever caricatures and satire, the artist highlights the stark reality of their lives – working tirelessly amidst danger for meager wages. The inclusion of skeletons symbolizes not only the physical toll but also hints at their inevitable fate due to prolonged exposure to harmful substances. The use of vibrant cartoons adds depth to this powerful portrayal, emphasizing the emotional turmoil experienced by those affected by coal mining practices. Additionally, scattered matches and furniture suggest further hardships faced by these individuals outside their laborious work environment. Published in Judy; or the London serio-comic journal on December 15th, 1875, this engraving continues to resonate with viewers today. It serves as a reminder that behind every commodity lies human suffering often overlooked or disregarded for economic gain.
