Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library Title: A Determined Wife's Common Courtesy Training: Heath Robinson's Humorous Take on Teaching Etiquette This delightful photograph, taken by the renowned British illustrator Heath Robinson (1872-1944), captures a playful yet insightful moment in the realm of common courtesy training. In the image, a wife stands proudly behind her husband, who is shown in a state of mild confusion. The husband's hat, held in place by his wife with a piece of string, is being manipulated to help him learn the art of saluting. The scene is set in a domestic environment, with a dressmaker's dummy peeking into the frame, adding an element of whimsy and humor to the situation. The husband's expression suggests that he is not entirely comfortable with the process, yet he is determined to learn, as evidenced by his clenched fist and focused gaze. Heath Robinson, known for his inventive and imaginative illustrations, masterfully captures the essence of the challenges and amusing quirks of learning etiquette. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of common courtesy in the past and the enduring value of proper manners in our modern world. The image, (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the rich history of manners and etiquette, as well as the determination and creativity of those who sought to teach them.
