| Description: |
Heath Robinson drew many cartoons lampooning the excesses of the First World War and poking fun at the German army, bringing comic relief to British soldiers and civilians. This book presents his complete First World War satire, from ridiculous weapons such as `Button Magnets' to a demonstration of how to have a `Quiet Cup of Tea at the Front.' |
| Synopsis: |
W. Heath Robinson is best known for his hilarious drawings of zany contraptions, though his work ranged across a wide variety of topics covering many aspects of British life in the decades following the First World War. Starting out as a watercolour artist, he quickly turned to the more lucrative field of book illustration and developed his forte in satirical drawings and cartoons. He was regularly commissioned by the editors of Tatler and The Sketch and in great demand from advertising companies. Collections of his drawings were subsequently published in many different editions and became so successful as to transform Heath Robinson into a household name, celebrated for his eccentric brand of British humour.Heath Robinson drew many cartoons lampooning the excesses of the First World War and poking fun at the German army, bringing welcome comic relief to British soldiers and civilians. This book presents his complete First World War satire, from ridiculous weapons such as `Button Magnets' to aeronautical antics and a demonstration of how to have a `Quiet Cup of Tea at the Front.' |
