Description
Illustrator and artist W. Heath Robinson is known for his inventive and whimsical devices. His humorous drawings of complex machines are ironically designed to simplify everyday life, but they always make everything seem more complicated! His work is infused with a sense of comic misfortune, and his name has become synonymous with absurd and makeshift contraptions. This charming new book is full of his wild designs and delicate watercolor illustrations that continue to delight us all today.
Incredible titles and a wide range of authors are synonymous with Flame Tree Publishing.
