EDITORS COMMENTS
Lessons by Post" by William Heath Robinson: A Humorous Invention for Swimming Instruction in 1926 William Heath Robinson's "Lessons by Post" is a delightful and whimsical illustration from 1926 that showcases the artist's ingenious inventive spirit and his unique ability to bring a touch of humor to everyday life. This charming print, which has recently gained renewed popularity at fashionable resorts, depicts a swimmer eagerly engaging with an unusual contraption on the beach. The swimmer, dressed in a stylish bathing suit, is seen with a large, unwieldy device strapped to his back. The apparatus consists of various tubes, levers, and pulleys, all connected to a post in the sand. The post, in turn, is connected to a figure standing offshore, who appears to be giving instructions through a megaphone. The scene is reminiscent of the early days of distance learning, where students would receive their education through correspondence courses. In this case, however, the swimmer is receiving swimming lessons via a post-style contraption. The humorous and inventive nature of Robinson's design is evident in the exaggerated size and complexity of the apparatus, as well as the amused expression on the swimmer's face. This print, which is now available as a historical reproduction, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Heath Robinson's work. His ability to combine humor, invention, and a keen observation of human nature continues to delight and inspire audiences, making "Lessons by Post" a must-have for any collection of vintage illustrations or historical prints.
