Illustration shows a dejected coal sculpture of a royal figure labeled “Old King Coal” wearing robes and a crown which he holds onto his head; in the background are factories burning oil for fuel and spewing thick black smoke which drifts, in the shape of a hand, toward the coal sculpture with the intent of snatching the crown from his head.
