"The Comforts of a Rumford Stove" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist and printmaker James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The artwork serves as a commentary on the innovations introduced by Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, an American-born British physicist known for his work on the nature of heat and the design of fireplaces and stoves that aimed to improve their efficiency.

The print typically features a domestic scene, often with exaggerated and humorous elements, showcasing the effects of the Rumford stove. Gillray's work is known for its intricate detail, sharp wit, and its ability to capture and critique the social and political life of his time. "The Comforts of a Rumford Stove" is no exception, as it uses visual satire to address the reception of new technologies and their impact on everyday life.

James Gillray's prints were widely circulated and popular during his lifetime, and they continue to be studied for their historical and artistic significance. His work is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of political cartooning, and "The Comforts of a Rumford Stove" exemplifies his skill in blending humor with social commentary. As with many of Gillray's prints, this piece would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship.

The print remains an important artifact of late 18th-century British culture, reflecting the era's technological advancements, domestic life, and the public's response to change.
