EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous cartoon by W. Heath Robinson, titled "For rendering useless the sentry's armè blanche," was published in the Illustrated London News in 1915 during the height of World War I. The image depicts a clever invention by William Heath Robinson, known for his whimsical and imaginative designs. In this cartoon, Robinson presents an Armoured Bayonet Curlers, a seemingly innocuous device designed to disarm enemy sentries. The contraption consists of a board with a large magnet attached to it, surrounded by various gadgets and levers. A soldier, oblivious to the danger, is shown bending down to adjust his bayonet, only to have it inadvertently sucked towards the board by the magnet. The sentry's weapon is rendered useless, leaving him defenseless against the approaching British troops. The cartoon's title, "For rendering useless the sentry's armè blanche," is a reference to the French term for a sword, "armè blanche," which translates to "white arm." The image is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British during wartime, as well as a reminder of the lighter side of the human spirit even in the face of adversity. This print is courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative mind of W. Heath Robinson during a pivotal moment in world history.
