First Lesson in the Goose Step
A small scrawny goose leading Germen troops, in a goose-stepping lesson. Heath Robinson produced a large number of drawings for the Sketch during World War I, poking fun at the German army and showing a lighter side to war. The goose in the picture is similar to a small bird which regularly appeared as a kind of personal signature in Heath Robinson drawings during the early part of his career. Robinson was a regular contributor to the Sketch, the Bystander and other ILN titles during his lifetime. His weekly drawings featuring mind-boggling contraptions and designs were immensely popular.

EDITORS COMMENTS
First Lesson in the Goose Step: A Whimsical Take on Military Training during World War I This delightful print, titled "First Lesson in the Goose Step," is a testament to the satirical wit of British illustrator Heath Robinson. Created during the height of World War I, this drawing pokes fun at the rigid military training of the German army through the unlikely image of a small, scrawny goose leading soldiers in a goose-stepping lesson. Heath Robinson, a regular contributor to publications such as The Sketch, Bystander, and other ILN titles, was renowned for his intricate and fantastical drawings. This image, with its absurd premise, is reminiscent of a personal signature that the artist often incorporated into his work during the early part of his career - a small goose. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and following the lead of their avian instructor, provide a humorous contrast to the seriousness and discipline typically associated with military training. Robinson's intricate detailing and imaginative use of perspective add to the whimsical nature of the scene. This print serves as a reminder of the lighter side of war and the role that satire and humor played in helping the public cope with the realities of conflict. The goose, with its unintended authority, leads the soldiers in a dance of absurdity that transcends the boundaries of war and offers a moment of respite from the harsh realities of the time.
