What Shall I Put On? Bedside Contrivance for the Changeable Season
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This whimsical lithograph by William Heath Robinson captures the ingenious and humorous nature of his artistic style. In this artwork, Robinson presents a fantastical bedside contraption designed to indicate the state of the weather and suggest appropriate attire for each morning. The image showcases a mechanical marvel, complete with gears, levers, and pulleys. A comically large cockerel perched atop the contraption acts as a barometric indicator, signaling whether it is raining or not. As one wakes up in the morning, they can consult this mechanistic wonder to determine what they should wear based on the ever-changing seasons. Robinson's absurdity shines through in this piece as he playfully mocks our obsession with fashion and our desire to be prepared for any weather condition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this intricate machine. As an English artist known for his humorous illustrations, Robinson brings a touch of wit and charm to even mundane aspects of life like dressing for different seasons. His unique ability to blend artistry with ingenuity has made him beloved by audiences across Europe. "What Shall I Put On?" invites viewers into a world where practicality meets imagination—a delightful reminder that sometimes we need a little humor when faced with life's daily decisions.
