His work is steeped in the humour of calamity and his name soon became synonymous for absurd and makeshift devices. This delightful book has an introductory section of 22 pages providing an overview of Heath Robinson’s life, followed by three chapters of full page reproductions of his most famous works from Literary Illustrations to Humorous Cartons and Marvellous Contraptions.
