William Heath Robinson was an English artist, illustrator and cartoonist. He was one of six children of Eliza and Thomas Robinson. His father was an illustrator and earned his income primarily from his created illustrations for the Penny Illustrated Paper. So it's no wonder that William Heath Robinson also became an illustrator. He studied at the Islington School of Art. After leaving school, he tried unsuccessfully to earn a living by painting landscapes. His first book illustrations were published in Don Quixote, Danish Fairy Tales and The Giant Crab and Other Tales from India. However, it was not until the publication of Uncle Lubin that he was able to improve his financial situation. William Heath Robinson worked in black and white for his first book illustrations. Well-known illustrated gift books by William Heath Robinson include Twelfth Night, A Song of the English, Bill the Minder, Fairy Tales, Old Time Stories, Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Tempest. In addition, he not only illustrated books, but also wrote them himself, such as "The Adventures of Uncle Lubin" and "Bill the Minder". The stories are charming, funny, simple, funny and absurd at the same time.
William Heath Robinson used both color plates and illustrations in black and white. The Hans Andersen was a success, which stood out with black and white illustrations and well-printed plates, as they were designed either with decorative charm and cheerfulness or absurdly humorous. Besides his books, William Heath Robinson started drawing cartoons and depicting them in a funny way. The first drawings first appeared in magazines, such as "London Magazine", "Pall Mall Magazine", "Bystander" and "Sketch". The artistic drawings of William Heath Robinson were illustrated in many different advertising brochures. He had a fascinating connection with industry and commerce, as he created different works for companies. The success of his cartoons was due to the style of the drawings, which he created in an absurd way. William Heath Robinson believed in his artistic abilities and considered them as a kind of joke. He also made many appearances on television and radio, designed sets for the theater and painted murals. The art in his paintings was the mixing of the serious with the comic, which he conveyed through his illustrations, cartoons and drawings. However, he became known especially as a creator of strange mechanical devices and machines. His name was used as a synonym for such devices. In his first drawings, he set out to ridicule the self-importance and fussiness of experts. William Heath Robinson found that the complicated machines stood as a metaphor for bureaucracy and various processes. Most of William Heath Robinson's humorous work focuses on the human condition, the weakness and self-importance of man than on the devices and apparatuses themselves.
