EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous print by British illustrator Heath Robinson, titled "Rejected by the Inventions Board IX - The Pilsener Pump for Tapping the Enemy's Beer," depicts a fantastical contraption designed to foil the Germans during World War I. In the image, a group of smugly seated Germans enjoy their tankards of beer, blissfully unaware of the elaborate scheme unfolding before them. The British army, facing fewer rations than their enemy, sought innovative ways to gain an edge. Heath Robinson's invention, the Pilsener Pump, is a hilariously convoluted solution to the problem. The device features a series of pulleys, levers, and gears that, when activated, would supposedly tap into the enemy's beer barrels and siphon off their precious supply. The contraption's complexity is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British during wartime. However, this ingenious invention was ultimately rejected by the Inventions Board, likely due to its impracticality and the risks involved. The print serves as a reminder of the creative problem-solving skills that emerged during times of conflict, as well as the importance of maintaining a sense of humor in the face of adversity. This print is courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, and is a fascinating glimpse into the historical context and humor of the early 20th century.
