Our True Sporting SPIRIT
EDITORS COMMENTS
by William Heath Robinson: A Humorous and Historical Scene of Exuberant Master and Hounds William Heath Robinson, a renowned British illustrator and satirist, captured the spirit of the era in his whimsical and humorous work "Our True Sporting SPIRIT," also known as "The Automobilious Dream of a Prominent Master of Hounds, on learning that the price of petrol had dropped again." This delightful print, courtesy of the estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson, Pollinger Ltd, and ILN, showcases the artist's unique ability to blend historical context, sporting tradition, and witty humor. The scene unfolds with a jubilant Master of Hounds, dressed in traditional hunting attire, seated atop an oversized, fantastical airplane. Surrounded by his loyal hounds, he raises a glass in celebration as he gazes at a dropped price chart for petrol, now more affordable due to the recent decrease in prices. The Master's elated expression and the dogs' excited barks convey the shared sense of joy and relief. Robinson's masterful use of detail and imagination is on full display in this print. The airplane, adorned with hunting paraphernalia and hound-shaped propellers, is a testament to the artist's inventive spirit. The historical context is further emphasized by the inclusion of a vintage automobile in the background, a reminder of the era's evolving transportation landscape. "Our True Sporting SPIRIT" is not only a humorous commentary on the joy of affordable petrol prices but also a celebration of the enduring traditions of hunting and the spirit of innovation. This enchanting print invites us to appreciate the past while acknowledging the progress of time.
