Description:
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1908. Hardcover. Very good. First US edition, quarto size, [130] pp., with twenty colour plates. William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was an exemplary book illustrator and cartoonist, "the only British illustrator to become a household name" (Houfe), a contemporary of acclaimed illustrators Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, best known for his cartoons portraying elaborate and whimsical machinary made to complete simple tasks. In fact, his fame was such that the term "Heath Robinson" was used in the United Kingdom to refer to such machinary, much as the term "Rube Goldberg" was used in the United States. This the sequel to "The Monarchs of Merry England" and relates the history of the Kings and Queens of England, delightfully (and somewhat wickedly) illustrated by Robinson. This part covers the reigns of Henry VIII through Edward VII and is complete, with all twenty colour plates. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in paper-covered bevelled boards with a red cloth spine,…
