EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Whimsical Moment of Leisure: The Sinking Body by W.H. Robinson, 1939" In this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era of innovation and playful ingenuity. Taken in 1939, this image showcases the unique design of a special chassis by the renowned British inventor, W.H. Robinson. The car, with its sleek lines and elegant curves, is a testament to the advancements in automotive technology during the pre-war period. But what sets this vehicle apart from its contemporaries is its remarkable ability to lower its body to ground level at the touch of a button. This ingenious feature transformed the roof of the car into an unexpected and versatile surface for an invigorating game of table tennis. The image captures the spirit of Will I Am Robinson, the inventor, as he engages in a lively match with an unidentified opponent on the lush, green grass of an English heath. The scene exudes a sense of humor and a delightful contrast between the sophisticated automobile and the simple, timeless pleasure of table tennis. The image not only highlights the historical significance of this groundbreaking invention but also showcases the importance of balancing work and play in our daily lives. This photograph, (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, is a fascinating glimpse into the past that continues to inspire and entertain us today. The blend of history, motoring, and sport is a testament to the enduring appeal of innovation and the human spirit.
