EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the history of energy production: Henry III granting licence to dig coal in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1234. The image captures the King, regally attired and seated upon his throne, bestowing permission to local men to excavate the valuable resource from the earth. The significance of this event is underscored by the accompanying text, which notes the earliest recorded mentions of coal. Coal had been noted in historical records as early as Roman times, where it was used for heating and pottery production. However, its widespread use as a fuel source did not begin until the ninth century, when it was employed in iron smelting. By the time of Henry III's reign, coal was becoming increasingly important for heating and cooking in urban areas. The print also highlights the importance of this moment in the development of the coal industry. With the King's permission, the men of Newcastle were able to extract coal on a larger scale, leading to the establishment of the first coal mines in the area. This marked the beginning of a trend that would see coal become the dominant energy source in Europe and beyond, powering the Industrial Revolution and shaping the modern world. Despite its later commercial applications, this image captures the historical significance of coal as a valuable resource and a catalyst for innovation and progress. The print serves as a reminder of the rich history of energy production and the role that coal has played in shaping our world.
