EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and humorous drawing by William Heath Robinson from 1941, we see a group of British soldiers enjoying a picnic in the countryside of Wiltshire, completely unaware that the famous Stonehenge monument has been cleverly camouflaged and is moving around them. As they relax and eat their sandwiches, little do they know that they are in the midst of an experiment in camouflage and deception to defend Britain during World War II.
Robinson's cartoon captures the absurdity and creativity of wartime tactics, as even ancient landmarks like Stonehenge are not safe from being disguised for military purposes. The soldiers' obliviousness adds to the comedic effect, highlighting the ingenuity required to outwit enemy forces during such a challenging time.
This image serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness and resilience displayed by the British people on the homefront during WWII. It also showcases Robinson's talent for blending humor with social commentary, using his art to both entertain and provoke thought about the realities of war.
Overall, this print is a fascinating glimpse into a unique moment in history when even something as iconic as Stonehenge could be transformed into part of Britain's defense strategy.
