Some 'Frightful' War Pictures - Illustrated by W. Heath Robinson

W. Heath Robinson

Description

A fantastic collection of W. Heath Robinson’s drawing depicting humorous wartime scenes from World War I. These 24 full page drawings originally appeared in ‘The Sketch’ and in ‘The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News’.



W. Heath Robinson was an English cartoonist and illustrator, best known for drawings of ridiculously complicated machines – for achieving deceptively simple objectives. Such was (and is) his fame, that the term ‘Heath Robinson’ entered the English language during the First World War, as a description of any unnecessarily complex and implausible contrivance.
