The image, part of his book "Absurdities" captures the artist's love for absurdity and machines. In this comical illustration, Robinson presents an elaborate contraption that aims to save space during local tennis tournaments while adding excitement to the game.

With its intricate design, it exemplifies Robinson's knack for creating fantastical inventions. The artwork reflects the artist's unique style characterized by mechanical intricacy and imaginative humor. Through his satirical lens, he transforms ordinary activities like playing tennis into extraordinary spectacles filled with laughter-inducing complications. Robinson's work often explores themes of absurdity and playfulness, capturing the essence of fun in everyday life. His illustrations have become iconic representations of British wit and creativity. This print is a testament to Robinson's artistic brilliance as he combines elements of sport, mechanistic ingenuity, and pure amusement into one captivating image.
