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. A collection of full-page cartoons on the
hapless antics of the portly golfer and his long-suffering caddie,
including 'How Noah Managed to Keep his Hand in during the Flood',
the 'Origin of Plus Fours', the multiple meanings of 'an Awkward
Lie' and the highly amusing invention of 'Pogo Golf': a gem for the
golf enthusiast.
