EDITORS COMMENTS
The Maid and the Magician" is a whimsical and enchanting illustration by the renowned British artist, William Heath Robinson (1872-1944). This work of art, created in 1925, is a testament to Robinson's unique ability to blend fantasy and reality in a delightfully absurd manner. The scene unfolds in a quaint, Victorian-era drawing room, where a magician, dressed in theatrical finery, is performing an illusion for a curious maid. The magician, with a confident and mischievous grin, waves a wand over a large, ornate box, while the maid, with a look of awe and wonder, watches intently. The box, adorned with intricate carvings and embellishments, appears to be the source of the magician's magic. However, upon closer inspection, the true nature of the scene is revealed. The magician's wand is not creating any magical effects, but rather, he is manipulating a series of hidden levers and pulleys within the box, which are responsible for the seemingly miraculous transformations. The maid, who is unaware of the deception, is completely enchanted by the performance. This charming illustration, which was published in the Illustrated London News on 13th May 1925, is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era. It is a reminder of the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of magic and illusion. Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans (Date: 13th May 1925)."
