Heath Robinson's Car This intriguing print by the renowned English illustrator, W. Heath Robinson (1872-1944), showcases a whimsical yet insightful sectional view of a car, highlighting the auxiliary flat iron brakes in action. The image, titled "Car cross section 3 / W. Heath Robinson," offers a unique perspective into the mechanical workings of early automobiles, while infusing a touch of humor that was characteristic of Robinson's artistic style. Robinson's illustration captures the essence of the car's internal structure, with various components meticulously labeled and arranged to create an engaging and informative visual experience. The focus on the auxiliary flat iron brakes is particularly noteworthy, as this innovative braking system was a common feature in early automobiles. The flat iron brakes, which were supplementary to the main drum brakes, were designed to engage when the vehicle descended steep hills, providing additional stopping power to prevent the car from picking up excessive speed. The humor in the print is evident in the exaggerated depiction of the passengers' expressions, with their wide-eyed, open-mouthed reactions conveying a sense of thrill and excitement as they descend the hill. The contrast between the serious, technical representation of the car's inner workings and the playful portrayal of the passengers adds to the overall charm and appeal of the image. This print not only offers a historical glimpse into the evolution of automotive technology but also showcases the artistic talent of W. Heath Robinson, whose work continues to inspire and delight audiences around the world.
