About This Item
London: Pavilion Books, 1995. 151 pages, illustrations (some colour), portraits; 31 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. First paperback edition. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. Profusely illustrated. "William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) dreamed of a romantic life as an itinerant landscape painter. Instead, he remained in North London and became the greatest comic draughtsman of the century, and one of those rare individuals whose names have entered the language as adjectives. Although his name is now synonymous with any complicated, ramshackle mechanical apparatus for doing something relatively simple, the true Heath Robinson contraption was thought out with a child's solemn logic, executed with a craftsman's care, and accompanied by the ultimate in deadpan captions." - Publisher.. 1st. Paperback. Fine. 4to.
