EDITORS COMMENTS
The whimsical world of W Heath Robinson comes to life in this delightful illustration from his book "Railway Ribaldry". In this litho print, we are transported to a time when railway travel was filled with absurdities and humorous moments. The scene depicts the official water diviner of a railway company diligently ensuring that there is enough water in the boiler before embarking on a long journey. Robinson's unique artistic style captures the essence of British humor as he playfully exaggerates the everyday tasks involved in running a train. With his intricate details and clever compositions, he invites us into a world where even the most mundane activities become sources of amusement. This particular artwork showcases Robinson's mastery in blending artistry with comedy. The comical expression on the diviner's face adds an amusing touch to an otherwise ordinary task. As viewers, we can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of having someone specifically dedicated to checking for water in a boiler. Through his illustrations, Robinson not only entertains but also offers us glimpses into British culture and its love for eccentricity. His work continues to be celebrated for its wit and charm, making him one of England's most beloved artists. This litho print serves as a testament to Robinson's enduring legacy as an artist who brought laughter and joy through his imaginative creations.
