The New Safety-Fork Adjustment - Protecting Chickens on the Road
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This whimsical lithograph by William Heath Robinson captures a comical solution to the age-old question of why chickens cross the road. In this absurd yet ingenious illustration, Robinson presents us with his new safety-fork adjustment for motor-cars, designed specifically to safeguard our feathered friends from the perils of traffic. With a touch of British humor and mechanical ingenuity, Robinson's artwork showcases an elaborate contraption attached to the front of a vintage motor-car. The contraption consists of an intricate system of forks and levers that create a protective barrier around any chicken daring enough to venture onto the road. It is both humorous and thought-provoking, highlighting mankind's ability to invent complex solutions for even the most trivial problems. Robinson's work often explored themes of mechanistic absurdity, blending imagination with practicality in delightful ways. This particular piece was featured in his book "Absurdities" published in 1934, where he compiled numerous drawings showcasing his unique artistic style. As we gaze upon this amusing scene, we are reminded not only of Robinson's creative genius but also how art can bring joy and laughter into our lives. So next time you see a chicken crossing the road or find yourself facing life's little absurdities, remember that sometimes all it takes is a touch of wit and imagination to turn them into works of art themselves.
