EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and whimsical illustration, titled "Chipmunk Bagger" by the renowned British artist William Heath Robinson, showcases an ingenious contraption designed for use in the wilds of Brazil during the 1920s. In this charming scene, a hunter, dressed in safari attire, patiently waits beneath a rickety framework covered in an abundant spread of nuts. The hunter's hopeful expression and the position of his bag beneath the nuts suggest that he is eagerly anticipating the arrival of his greedy chipmunk victims. Heath Robinson, a master of comic invention, created this image as part of a series called "Very Patent Aides to Sport," which was published in the Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News. Known for his convoluted and complicated contraptions, Robinson's inventions often combined humor, silliness, and a touch of the absurd. The Chipmunk Bagger is no exception, as it presents a humorous and amusing solution to the age-old problem of catching these elusive creatures. The Chipmunk Bagger, with its intricate design and intriguing concept, is a testament to Robinson's creativity and his ability to bring a sense of fun and whimsy to everyday life. This historical illustration, created in 1928, continues to captivate audiences with its charming depiction of a hunter's quirky and humorous attempt to catch chipmunks in the most unlikely of ways.
