The Cheap Cost of Gas - A Satirical Commentary on 19th Century Fuel Prices
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a satirical cartoon by the talented Irish artist and illustrator, Harry Furniss. Created in the 19th century, this artwork humorously depicts the cheap cost of gas during that time period. In the illustration, we see an English coal oven transformed into a gas oven, symbolizing the shift towards more cost-effective fuel options. Furniss' clever use of satire highlights society's reliance on affordable energy sources and their impact on daily life. The artist's scathing satire is evident as he mocks not only England but also France, with subtle references to both countries within his work. This serves as a reminder that cheap gas was not limited to one nation alone but had widespread implications across Europe. Furniss' attention to detail and his ability to convey complex ideas through art make this piece truly remarkable. The cartoon offers viewers a glimpse into historical attitudes towards fuel prices and how they influenced everyday living. As we examine this thought-provoking image today, it reminds us of the ever-changing nature of energy costs throughout history and prompts reflection on our own relationship with affordable resources.
