EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Old King Coal and the fog demon" takes us back to 19th century London, where the city's notorious smog is personified in a satirical depiction. Created by an English School artist and published in Punch, or the London Charivari on November 13,1880, this print offers a glimpse into the social commentary of that era. The image showcases Old King Coal, representing the coal industry that fueled London's industrial revolution. He stands tall amidst a dense blanket of fog, his presence looming over the cityscape. However, it is not just any ordinary fog; it is portrayed as a malevolent demon with swirling tendrils and an eerie atmosphere. Through this clever cartoon-like artwork, we witness a critique on both weather conditions and pollution caused by coal-burning factories during that time period. The artist skillfully combines elements of humor and satire to shed light on the detrimental effects of industrialization on urban environments. As we observe this historical piece from our modern perspective, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of environmental awareness. It prompts us to reflect upon our own responsibility towards sustainable practices while appreciating art's ability to convey powerful messages across generations.
