EDITORS COMMENTS
Heath Robinson's Hill-Side Clutch: A Whimsical Illustration of Overcoming Steep Terrain, Circa 1919 This delightful and inventive illustration, titled "Heath Robinson's Hill-Side Clutch," is a charming representation of a motor vehicle bravely tackling an abnormally steep slope. Dated circa 1919, this whimsical work of art is the creation of the renowned British illustrator, Heath Robinson. The illustration depicts a motor vehicle, its tires spinning furiously as it attempts to ascend the seemingly insurmountable hill. In response to the challenge, the vehicle's driver has ingeniously extended the back wheels, creating a makeshift clutch that digs deep into the hillside. The extended wheels are connected by a series of ropes and pulleys, forming a clever system that transfers the power from the engine to the ground, allowing the vehicle to inch its way up the incline. The hillside is adorned with vibrant foliage, with trees and bushes reaching out to grab onto the vehicle, adding to the comical and fantastical nature of the scene. The vehicle's passengers, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, cling to the sides in anticipation, their faces filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. This illustration, from the September 1919 volume 11 of a colour magazine, is a testament to Heath Robinson's extraordinary ability to blend humor and ingenuity in his work. His illustrations, often published in popular magazines, brought joy and amusement to audiences during a time when the world was undergoing significant change. This particular piece, with its depiction of a motor vehicle overcoming a steep hill, speaks to the spirit of innovation and determination that characterized the early days of automobile travel.
