EDITORS COMMENTS
1916. In this poignant WWI-era cartoon, a coal merchant, dressed in a grey suit, grey waistcoat, and wearing a monocle, smirks as he tells a cold and ragged family that if they find his coal prices too steep, they should simply burn wood instead. The family, consisting of a father, mother, and children, huddle together, their clothes in tatters, shivering in the cold. The merchant, with a red tie and a wing collar, stands before them, a trunk full of coal behind him. A tree trunk with logs pokes into the frame from the left, as the merchant's grinning face and the family's desperate expressions create a stark contrast. The coal merchant's greed is on full display as he takes advantage of the family's financial struggles during the challenging economic times of the war. The flames from the wood fire in the background add an ominous touch, emphasizing the family's plight. This powerful cartoon, published in 1916, highlights the harsh realities of wartime and the exploitation of the vulnerable by those in positions of power.
