EDITORS COMMENTS
Courtesy of Mrs. J. C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, this enchanting illustration by the renowned British artist, William Heath Robinson, captures the intelligent endeavour to recapture those long-lost spring feelings in the early months of the year. The scene unfolds in a cozy, sunlit room, where a man, engrossed in a book of poetry, sits by the window. His expression suggests a deep longing for the warmth and vitality of spring. A woman, dressed in a floral print dress, enters the room carrying a vase of freshly picked flowers. She pauses for a moment, taking in the sight of the man's absorbed concentration, before placing the vase on the table. The room is filled with fanciful and comic elements, such as a toy lamb with wheels, an artificial tree adorned with blossoms, and a bird in a cage, all contributing to the whimsical atmosphere. The man, sensing her presence, looks up from his book and offers his wife a glass of tonic, with a violet in it, and a spray of perfume. The woman smiles, clearly touched by the gesture. Outside, the thermometer reads a chilly temperature, but inside, the couple has created their own little oasis of spring. This delightful illustration, dated 1947, is a testament to the power of imagination and the human spirit. It invites us to reflect on the history and traditions of spring, and the simple pleasures that can help us cope with the long winter months. With its humour, charm, and intricate detail, this illustration by William Heath Robinson continues to captivate and inspire us today.
