EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical and historical print captures the absurd yet ingenious idea of "Bluffing the Periscope" by renowned illustrator Heath Robinson in 1917. In a time when U-boats posed a threat to bathers off shore, Robinson's comical solution provided hints for those unnecessarily nervous about submarines lurking beneath the waves.
The image depicts bathers taking cover from potential U-boat attacks by employing various outlandish tactics, such as hiding behind inflatable decoys and using makeshift periscopes made from everyday objects. Robinson's trademark wit and creativity shine through in this clever illustration, showcasing his unique ability to turn mundane situations into works of art.
As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, we are reminded of the ingenuity and resourcefulness that defined an era overshadowed by war. The juxtaposition of fear and humor in "Bluffing the Periscope" serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's resilience in the face of adversity.
Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, this print invites us to step back in time and marvel at Robinson's imaginative vision. It is a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's most beloved illustrators, whose work continues to inspire and delight audiences around the world.
