But Let It Make Us Laugh, Said the King
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white illustration created by W Heath Robinson in the 1930s. The artwork is part of an enchanting children's book called "The Flying Trunk" written by Hans Christian Andersen. In this whimsical image, we see a jovial monarch seated on his majestic throne. Despite his royal status, the king appears to be a man of great humor and lightheartedness. His round figure suggests an overweight physique, adding to the comical nature of the scene. With a crown adorning his head and a mischievous smile on his face, he exudes both regality and playfulness simultaneously. This delightful portrait captures the essence of Andersen's fairy tales - where imagination knows no bounds and laughter reigns supreme. The intricate line drawing technique employed by Robinson adds depth to each stroke, bringing life to every detail within the artwork. As we gaze upon this charming piece from our past, it reminds us that even those in positions of power can find joy in simple pleasures. The artist invites us into a world where fantasy intertwines with reality, leaving room for endless possibilities. With its timeless appeal and artistic brilliance, "But Let It Make Us Laugh" serves as a testament to both Robinson's creative genius and Andersen's enduring storytelling legacy. This print transports us back to an era filled with wonderment and innocence while reminding us that laughter truly is fit for kings.
