Exploring the Whimsical World of Will. i. am: From Hogarth's Beer Street to Robinson's Automated Dining Room, this caption takes you on a journey through the imaginative works that bear his name. In Charles Dickens' Dream, an unfinished masterpiece by Robert William Buss, we catch a glimpse of the author's visionary mind. Meanwhile, William Heath Robinson brings us laughter with his comical inventions like 'A Complete Wash-out' and 'The Kinecar. ' As we delve into history, we witness the ill-fated expedition of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in 1845. But fear not; there are lighter moments too. Join us in Hogarth's Gin Lane for a taste of London life or step into an Ideal Home envisioned by Robinson himself. Sports enthusiasts will cheer as William Dixie Dean runs out for Everton against Arsenal at Highbury. And who can forget the clever tactics used to deceive invaders about the state of the tide? Finally, let us transport you to Williamsburg's prestigious William and Mary College before immersing ourselves in scenes from the iconic Bayeux Tapestry. With Will. i. am as our guide, prepare to be captivated by artistry and imagination beyond compare.
