EDITORS COMMENTS
Heath Robinson's Encyclopaedia of Sport: Drawing Red Herrings Across the Sands of Dee (1914) William Heath Robinson, the renowned British illustrator and cartoonist, once again showcased his inventive and whimsical mind with this absurd proposal for a new sport: Drawing Red Herrings Across the Sands of Dee. This charming and humorous illustration, dated 1914, is a testament to Robinson's ability to create amusing and unusual concepts. In this cartoon, we see a group of athletes, dressed in their finest sporting attire, gathered on the shores of the River Dee. Their intent is to draw red herrings, not the fish, but rather the deceptive objects used to mislead or distract, across the sand. Each athlete holds a long pole with a red herring attached, ready to make their mark on the sand. The scene is filled with humorous details, such as a spectator in a top hat and monocle, a dog eagerly awaiting the start of the race, and a referee with a long whistle, poised to signal the beginning of the competition. The athletes, with determined expressions, strain to draw their red herrings as far as possible, creating intricate patterns in the sand. This cartoon is a delightful example of Heath Robinson's unique brand of humor, which combines the absurdity of sporting events with the silliness of everyday life. The image invites us to ponder the absurdity of creating a sport around such a simple and mundane object, while also celebrating the joy and whimsy of human imagination. Heath Robinson's Drawing Red Herrings Across the Sands of Dee is a timeless piece that continues to inspire laughter and wonder, reminding us of the power of creativity and the importance of finding joy in the most unexpected places.
