INDUSTRY - COAL AND OIL. Old King Coal's Crown in Danger
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Granger Art on Demand captures a moment of intense competition between two dominant fuel sources in America at the turn of the century. The cartoon, originally published in Puck magazine on September 17,1902, portrays Old King Coal cowering before a menacing cloud of smoke labeled "Oil" as it attempts to steal his crown and become the reigning fuel source. In this thought-provoking image, we witness the struggle for supremacy between coal and oil industries unfolding against a backdrop of factories and trains carrying barrels of oil. The artist skillfully depicts Old King Coal dressed in regal robes, desperately clutching onto his crown while facing an uncertain future. The political undertones are evident as this cartoon reflects the changing landscape of American industry during that era. It symbolizes not only the fierce competition between these two energy sources but also highlights the potential shift towards oil as a dominant force. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it serves as a reminder that even established industries can face challenges when new contenders emerge. This artwork encapsulates an important chapter in American industrial history and invites us to contemplate how innovation and progress shape our world.
