EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful cover image, titled "A Jolly Cycle Picnic," was created by the renowned British illustrator William Heath Robinson for The Humorist magazine in 1939. The scene depicts a cheerful couple on a motorcycle, making the most of a sunny day in the English countryside. As they travel along a winding country road, they reach out to the picnic hamper secured on the back of a passing car, expertly balancing their plates and utensils as they enjoy their meal on the move. Heath Robinson's whimsical and imaginative illustrations were a staple of The Humorist, a publication known for its light-hearted and humorous content. This cover perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the magazine, showcasing the couple's jovial attitude and their resourcefulness in making the most of their outdoor adventure. The idyllic country setting, complete with rolling hills, trees in full bloom, and a clear blue sky, adds to the overall charm of the image. The intricate details of the couple's motorcycle and the picnic hamper, as well as the various items in the scene, demonstrate Heath Robinson's exceptional drafting skills and his ability to bring a sense of humor and joy to everyday life. This cover is a wonderful snapshot of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when simple pleasures and a jolly outing in the countryside were enough to bring happiness and laughter. Courtesy of the estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson, Pollinger Ltd, and Lucinda Gosling, this image is now available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library.
