This was the year Oscar Wilde toured America, hired by Gilbert \u0026amp; Sullivan’s opera company D’Oly Carte to show America what the Aesthetics movement was all about, so they would get the jokes! Cartoons and satires followed in various periodicals, poking fun of the movement’s perceived artificiality, drama, and impracticality. In his lectures on “The House Beautiful,” Wilde expressed disdain for modern equipment and machinery, hence he is shown here recoiling from a red hot stove. Refer to photos for size and condition: Very good.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45120969539784,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/2188\/7432\/files\/7B84857C-ED19-427C-A9EA-B4BC1EBBE210.jpg?v=1782035122","url":"https:\/\/rosesandrueantiques.com\/products\/antique-oscar-wilde-cartoon-harper-s-1882-cast-iron-stoves","provider":"Roses \u0026 Rue Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
