Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Robinson, W. Heath (illustrator). 1st Edition. Presumed first edition of W. Heath Robinson's collection of cartoons featuring his inimitable contraptions. Copy is in good to very good condition. Some wear to the pictorial card boards with a little bit of fraying to the corners. A touch of damage and loss to the extremities of the spine strip, which is otherwise in good shape (uncommon for this book). Interior is clean and unmarked save for handsome gift inscription and stamp from (another) former owner on front free end paper. Binding solid and square. Dust jacket is present -- again, uncommon for this book -- but is in poor to fair condition. Some loss to the rear of the jacket, the corners, and the base of the spine. Now wrapped in protective Brodart cover. In all, a lovely exemplar of this scarce and collectible book. Due to the size and weight of this book, additional shipping charges will be required.

Book
First edition. With 90 full-page drawings and six vignettes. Folio, original illustrated paper covered boards. A remarkably fine copy of a notoriously fragile book. "The more serious the business undertaking, the funnier his drawings became." (John Lewis. Heath Robinson. Artist and Comic Genius, p. 181. William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was an English cartoonist and illustrator best known for drawings of ridiculously complicated machines for achieving simple objectives. His brothers, Thomas Heath Robinson and Charles Robinson were also artists. In the United Kingdom, the term "Heath Robinson" entered the language during the 1914-1918 First World War as a description of any unnecessarily complex and implausible contrivance, much as "Rube Goldberg machines" came to be used in the United States from the 1930s onwards as a term for similar efforts. The term "Heath Robinson contraption" is perhaps more often used in relation to temporary fixes using ingenuity and whatever is to hand, often string and tape, or unlikely cannibalizations. Its continuing popularity was undoubtedly linked to Second World War Britain's shortages and the need to "make do and mend".
