Well I'm Blowed: A Whimsical Invention by Heath Robinson for Extinguishing Bedside Candles from a Distance This delightful illustration by the renowned British humorous artist, William Heath Robinson, showcases his signature intricate and imaginative design: The Heath Robinson Mark VII Extra Special Pneumatic Candle Flame Extinguisher. This ingenious device was specially devised to address the common problem of reaching across a long dressing table to blow out a candle before retiring to bed. The year is 1926, and the scene depicts a weary gentleman, fast asleep in his cozy bed, with his dressing table positioned at a considerable distance. The candle on his bedside table, now a potential fire hazard, burns merrily. Enter Heath Robinson's solution: a pneumatic candle flame extinguisher. The gadget, a marvel of historical design, is connected to the gentleman's bed via a series of tubes and hoses. By pulling the cord attached to the bed, a puff of air is released through the tube, extinguishing the candle flame. The gentleman, now awake and alert, can enjoy a peaceful slumber, secure in the knowledge that his bedside candle is safely put out. This charming illustration, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, is a testament to Heath Robinson's inventive spirit and his ability to turn everyday problems into whimsical solutions. The Heath Robinson Mark VII Extra Special Pneumatic Candle Flame Extinguisher - an ideal Christmas present for any home, making the list of essential gadgets for the bedroom.
