EDITORS COMMENTS
is a well-known proverbial expression that originated in the 16th century, meaning to offer something unnecessary or unwanted to someone who already has an abundance of it. This evocative silhouette by H.L. Oakley captures the literal and metaphorical essence of this age-old saying in a striking and thought-provoking image. The scene depicts three men laboriously carrying sacks of coal up a steep slope, their silhouetted figures contrasting dramatically against the backdrop of a mining landscape. Newcastle, a historic city in northeastern England, was once a major coal exporting hub, making the title of this print all the more fitting. However, the coal being transported in this image is not destined for Newcastle or any other distant port. Instead, it appears that the men are carrying the coal up the hill, perhaps to fuel the very mine from which it was extracted. This literal interpretation of the proverb adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the image, as it raises questions about the cyclical nature of industry and the human endeavor required to extract and transport natural resources. The use of silhouettes in this print also adds a sense of timelessness and universality to the image, as the figures of the men and the landscape are reduced to their most essential forms. This allows the viewer to focus on the broader themes of labor, industry, and the natural resources that have fueled human progress for centuries. Overall, Oakley's "Sending Coals to Newcastle" is a beautifully crafted visual representation of a proverb that continues to resonate with audiences today.
