If you compare the living conditions of current day with those of people in the past you can see how life has gotten much comfier over time and it sure is worth appreciating it. But there are also many similarities, such as a large bottom class being drained by a small upper class. I think that is much more what this image is about than about how warm and hygienic our lives have gotten in just a few hundred years.
