EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and whimsical print by William Heath Robinson, titled "Straight from the Hen! The Fresh-Egger," showcases the artist's inventive genius at its finest. Dating back to 1917, this humorous cartoon invites us into a world where the ordinary is turned upside down, and the mundane becomes a source of endless amusement. At the heart of the image lies a contraption designed to ensure the new-laidness of eggs for the breakfast table. The "Fresh-Egger," as it is called, is a complex and intricate contraption that appears to be a labor-saving device for collecting freshly laid eggs directly from the hen. The hen, perched atop the apparatus, seems to be in the midst of laying an egg, with her beak poised in anticipation. The contraption itself is a marvel of engineering, with a series of chutes, belts, and pulleys designed to transport the freshly laid egg from the hen to the table, where it lands in a waiting boiling pot. A maid, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, stands by, ready to serve the freshly cooked egg for a hearty English breakfast. The humor in this print lies in the absurdity of the contraption and the seemingly unnecessary complexity of the device. Heath Robinson's cartoons were renowned for their intricate and convoluted inventions, and this image is no exception. The "Fresh-Egger" is a testament to the artist's ability to find humor in the most ordinary of situations and to imagine outlandish solutions to everyday problems. This print, with its charming blend of humor, whimsy, and inventiveness, is a delightful addition to any collection and a reminder of the enduring appeal of William Heath Robinson's work.
