EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of World War II, a moment of unexpected tranquility unfolds in this photograph. W.H. Robinson, a resourceful and humorous individual, is seen sitting calmly on a wooden plank balanced across two defused mine bombs, taking full advantage of the scenic view of the sea before him. The mines, once deadly weapons of war, have been repurposed as makeshift seating for this intrepid character as he engages in a simple yet satisfying pastime - darning his jumpers. The serene image, taken someplace idyllic, offers a stark contrast to the horrors of war that were all too common during this period. The scene is reminiscent of the famous painting 'A Man and His Dog' by Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, where a man is depicted relaxing with his dog amidst the ruins of a battlefield. However, Robinson's scene is unique in its audacious use of repurposed war materials for a peaceful purpose. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the human spirit's ability to find joy and relaxation even in the most unlikely of places. It is a humorous and poignant reminder of the resilience and ingenuity of people during times of hardship. (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library.
