EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, illustrated by the talented George du Maurier in the 19th century, offers a unique and satirical take on gas meters. The image portrays a different type of gas meter in use during that era, showcasing du Maurier's wit and creativity. As an accomplished Franco-British cartoonist and author, du Maurier was known for his ability to blend humor with social commentary. In this particular artwork, he cleverly uses the gas meter as a symbol to comment on societal norms or perhaps even political issues of his time. The intricate details and expert strokes bring this illustration to life. From the expressions on the characters' faces to the meticulous depiction of the unconventional gas meter itself, every element contributes to its overall charm. It is fascinating how du Maurier seamlessly combines elements from both British and French cultures within this piece. His Franco-British background shines through in his artistic style and choice of subject matter. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a testament to du Maurier's skill as a cartoonist. It invites viewers into a world where imagination meets reality, offering them an opportunity to reflect upon their own perceptions of everyday objects like gas meters. Now preserved by Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only du Maurier's talent but also provides insight into historical perspectives on technology during the 19th century.
