A Turkey Glide by William Heath Robinson
The latest Christmas family gliders fitted with listening in equipment for hearing Dutch concerts during dinner. One particularly large family flies through the air while using hot water bottles or electric heaters to keep warm, rigged up to headphones while they eat, much to the interest of a group of church-goers leaving a church in the snow.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical print captures the extraordinary imagination of William Heath Robinson in 1922. In this comical scene, we witness a large family taking their Christmas festivities to new heights - quite literally! Equipped with the latest gliding contraptions, they soar through the air while indulging in a sumptuous dinner. To combat the chilly winter temperatures, each family member cleverly attaches hot water bottles or electric heaters to their flying apparatuses, ensuring warmth as they glide. Amidst this airborne feast, an amusing twist unfolds. The ingenious family has also rigged up headphones connected to wireless listening equipment so that they can enjoy Dutch concerts during their mealtime adventure. This unique combination of dining and entertainment piques the curiosity of church-goers departing from a nearby snowy chapel. The image encapsulates both humor and innovation as it showcases Robinson's creative genius at its best. His intricate machines and contraptions never fail to amuse and astonish viewers. As we gaze upon this delightful snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when imagination knew no bounds and everyday activities were transformed into extraordinary experiences. Mary Evans Prints Online presents us with yet another gem from our past – an enchanting reminder that even amidst snow-covered landscapes, families could find joyous ways to celebrate together while defying gravity itself.
