Summer Troubles in the Tropics - Snake Casts on the Sahara Golf Course
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous pen, ink, and watercolor print by William Heath Robinson. This satirical drawing transports us to the scorching heat of the Sahara Desert, where an unexpected obstacle disrupts a game of golf. In this comical scene, we see several people gathered around a golf course set against the backdrop of majestic pyramids. A woman golfer stands frozen in fear as she spots a snake slithering across her path. The tension is palpable as other players anxiously watch from a safe distance. Robinson's attention to detail shines through his intricate brushwork and delicate use of color. The vibrant hues bring life to both the characters and their surroundings, capturing the essence of North African architecture and landscapes. The artist cleverly juxtaposes elements of sport with those typically associated with Egypt, creating an amusing contrast between leisurely recreation and ancient history. Through this whimsical artwork, Robinson invites us to reflect on our ability to adapt when faced with unexpected challenges – even if they come in the form of snakes on a golf course! This delightful piece was originally published in "The Bystander" magazine in June 1923 and has since become an iconic representation of Robinson's talent for combining humor with artistic skill. It serves as a reminder that sometimes even during summer troubles in exotic locations like the tropics or deserts, laughter can be found amidst adversity.
