A timely new edition featuring the brilliant work from among the
most inventive minds in illustration and cartoon wizardry. Heath
Robinson was one of Britain's most successful graphic artists. His
work has had a huge influence on comic art in this country, but
also on the image and self-image of the British. As the champion of
pragmatic man, Heath Robinson presented a vision of the British as
an unflappable, ingenious and slightly demented breed of inventors
that persists to the present day. The British are still a nation of
garage-haunting amateur engineers who will recognise the
inhabitants of Heath Robinson's world, with their pot bellies and
pots of tea, archaic faces and sturdily commonsensical approach to
the problems of existence. How to hunt tigers by elephant, how to
get an even tan, rise with the sun or put out a chimney fire, these
and many more pressing questions are answered in the pages of
Contraptions. With illustrations salvaged from the family archives
and commentary by Heath Robinson expert, Geoffrey Beare,
Contraptions is the best possible introduction to the work of one
of Britain's great comic talents.
