A must-have collection of spectacular and hilarious drawings by Britain’s most influential graphic artist
In Britain at Play we collect the finest of William Heath Robinson's studies of the unique British character. Here we find Britain in the garden, at the beach and on the golf course - the 9th hole played with the grim reaper, rotating sunbathing machines, a double cross tennis match 'For economising space in local tournaments and generally gingering up the game'. Heath Robinson perfectly captures the peculiar character of the great British nation at leisure.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Although famous as 'The Gadget King', Heath Robinson produced humorous illustrations on many more themes than the peculiar contraption. Taken from publications such as The Bystander, The Sketch and The Humorist, these drawings (c.1912-1939) bring together some of his favourite subjects - golf, motoring, winter sports, holidays and courting - all brilliantly observed, however surreal the scenario, and featuring the occasional gadget. Edited, with an introduction by Geoffrey Beare. Artikel-Nr. 531344
