EDITORS COMMENTS
A Nice Conclusion" is a captivating and humorous cartoon by the renowned British artist, William Heath Robinson, depicting the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the First World War. Dated circa 1918, this pen and ink drawing brilliantly captures the tension and fear experienced by enemy aviators during this period. At the center of the image, an enemy aviator, with a look of shock and disbelief, exclaims "Himmel! Surely I the zone of fire approaching be!" His plane, a fragile and disintegrating machine, is being relentlessly shelled from the ground. The pieces of the aviator's plane are flying off in all directions, and the pilot himself seems to be disintegrating before our very eyes. The cartoon's title, "A Nice Conclusion," is ironic, as the scene portrayed is anything but nice for the enemy aviator. The use of humor in this wartime image serves to highlight the absurdity and futility of the conflict. The intricate detail and skillful use of pen and ink by Heath Robinson bring the chaos and destruction of the battlefield to life, making this a poignant and thought-provoking piece of art from the First World War era. William Heath Robinson was a prolific and versatile artist, known for his inventive and imaginative works. His cartoons, often filled with whimsy and humor, were widely popular during the early 20th century. "A Nice Conclusion" is a prime example of his unique artistic style and his ability to capture the essence of the times in which he lived.
