The Trew Origin of Trousers
EDITORS COMMENTS
by W. Heath Robinson is a humorous and imaginative take on the origins of trousers, as depicted in this comic print from 1925. In this whimsical scene, Heath Robinson envisions the moment when decency and propriety dictated that the legs of Stonehenge be covered up, sparing the blushes of the prehistoric ladies. The illustration shows a group of Stone Age women gathered around the iconic Stonehenge monument, each one clapping and cheering as a man in a loincloth and top hat emerges from the background, carrying a roll of fabric. He is shown proudly holding up a pair of trousers, which he intends to present to the ladies as a solution to their modesty concerns. The women are depicted with exaggerated expressions of delight and relief, some covering their mouths in laughter, while others clap and cheer in approval. The Stonehenge stones themselves seem to be in on the joke, with one stone wearing a top hat and another holding a fan. Heath Robinson's use of fabric and texture adds to the playful nature of the illustration, with intricate patterns and folds bringing the trousers to life. The overall effect is a delightful blend of history, humor, and fabric artistry, that invites the viewer to ponder the more lighthearted side of human history. This charming print, with its unique blend of historical imagination and comedic flair, is a testament to W. Heath Robinson's artistic talent and his ability to bring a sense of whimsy to even the most mundane aspects of our past. Whether you're a fan of history, fabric art, or simply a lover of the absurd, "The Trew Origin of Trousers" is sure to bring a smile to your face.
