EDITORS COMMENTS
Heath Robinson's Ingenious Smoke Screen Bath: A Humorous Solution to Embarrassing Situations Heath Robinson, the renowned British illustrator and inventor, is known for his whimsical and ingenious designs that often blur the lines between art and reality. In this delightful print, titled "Ending in Smoke," Robinson presents an amusing invention to address a common yet awkward situation: when the bathroom lock is out of order. The intricately detailed illustration showcases a bathing scene where a man, completely oblivious to the audience, enjoys his bathing routine. However, the focus is on the remarkable contraption installed in the bathroom. A complex machinery of pipes, valves, and sponges surrounds the bathtub, all leading to a large smokestack at the far end of the room. As the man washes himself with a sponge, a series of gears and levers are set in motion. The smokestack comes to life, releasing a thick plume of smoke that envelops the entire bathroom. This ingenious smoke screen ensures complete discretion for visitors using the bath, adding a touch of humor and privacy to an otherwise mundane task. Robinson's "Ending in Smoke" is a testament to his creative genius and his ability to find innovative solutions to everyday problems. The print, with its intricate machinery and humorous concept, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, where cleanliness met creativity in the most unexpected ways.
