EDITORS COMMENTS
Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library. This delightful illustration by W. Heath Robinson, titled "Learning to Avoid Obstacles," showcases the humorous side of learning to drive in the early 20th century. In this historical depiction, a determined young man named Will I Am sits at the helm of an intricately designed contraption, which is reminiscent of a cross between a car and a seesaw. The vehicle's steering wheel is connected to a pulley system, which in turn is linked to a string that pulls a duck-like object, acting as a makeshift obstacle detector. As he practices his driving skills, Will I Am encounters a series of obstacles, including a tree stump, a boulder, and a duck pond. With a determined expression on his face, he expertly maneuvers the vehicle, skillfully avoiding each obstacle using the pulley system and the duck's reactions. The illustration is filled with charming detail, from the quirky design of the car to the amused expressions of the bystanders watching the scene unfold. This whimsical illustration by Heath Robinson not only captures the spirit of early 20th century innovation but also highlights the challenges and joys of learning a new skill. With its blend of humor and history, this print is a must-have for any collection focused on transportation, learning, or the history of driving.
