EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical print by the renowned British illustrator, Heath Robinson, captures the spirit of friendly competition and ingenious engineering in this depiction of the "Lincolnshire Handicap" at Ruston-Bucyrus' test ground. In this comical race, cranes, the unsung heroes of the construction industry, line up at the start, each outfitted with unique and absurd modifications in an attempt to gain an advantage. The crowd of onlookers, including a group of dapper gentlemen in bowler hats and a curious dog, eagerly anticipate the start of the race. Heath Robinson, known for his intricate and humorous drawings, was commissioned by Ruston-Bucyrus, leading excavation specialists, to create a series of comical engineering illustrations for a company booklet. This print, created around 1938, showcases Robinson's ability to blend engineering precision with a touch of silly humor. Each crane in the race is outfitted with a different contraption, from a pair of wings to a set of boxing gloves, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere. The finish line, marked by a simple tape and a quirky, top-hatted figure, looms in the distance. The cranes, with their oversized wheels and exaggerated expressions, seem to strain and struggle as they race towards the finish. This delightful print not only showcases the ingenuity and creativity of Heath Robinson but also highlights the playful side of engineering and the camaraderie that exists within the industry.
