EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "COAL CARTOON, 1898. On the Quay Vive!" captures a thought-provoking English cartoon by Sir John Tenniel from 1898. In this satirical artwork, Tenniel questions the wisdom of exporting coal from Wales for use by foreign navies during that time period. The image portrays a bustling dock scene with various men representing different nations gathered around a basket filled with coal. The central figure is personified as John Bull, symbolizing England, wearing a cap and sporting a beard and moustache. He stands confidently while other characters including German and Russian sailors observe him closely. Tenniel's cartoon highlights the political implications of exporting Welsh coal to foreign powers at the turn of the century. It raises concerns about England's supply chain and whether it was wise to provide resources that could potentially be used against them in naval conflicts. This Victorian-era artwork serves as an important historical commentary on international relations and economic decisions made during that time. It reminds us of the complex dynamics between nations and how strategic resources like coal played significant roles in shaping geopolitical landscapes. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past events while also contemplating similar issues present in today's globalized world.
