Summary
Political cartoon by JM Staniforth. Dame Cardiff is dismayed at Russian reports that petroleum will replace coal, leaving her city broke and desolate in the future. Although the reports correctly predicted the rise of oil and the fall of coal, Cardiff survived economically only to see the coal mining valleys to its north suffer for decades to come.
