EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique invention from the year 1920, titled "How to rise with the sun: The burning glass alarm in case of a further rise in the price of clocks and watches". Created by William Heath Robinson, this piece showcases his incredible talent using pencil, pen, ink, and grey wash on paper. The artwork depicts an ingenious solution to combat rising prices of clocks and watches during that time. In response to these escalating costs, Robinson presents us with a whimsical contraption designed to wake individuals up at sunrise without relying on expensive timepieces. The centerpiece of this invention is a large magnifying glass positioned strategically above a sleeping figure's face. As the first rays of sunlight hit the lens, it focuses them onto the person's closed eyelids, gently waking them up naturally. Published in "London Opinion" on August 7th, 1920, this illustration showcases Robinson's creativity and humor. His attention to detail is evident as he meticulously renders each element of his imaginative device. This thought-provoking artwork not only serves as an amusing commentary on rising prices but also highlights humanity's ability to adapt and find innovative solutions when faced with challenges. It reminds us that even during difficult times such as those experienced in 1920 or today; human ingenuity can prevail.
