EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by the renowned British illustrator Heath Robinson, titled 'The Fine Art of Making a War-Film' (1915), offers a humorous and intriguing glimpse into the early days of filmmaking during the First World War. In this whimsical scene, a makeshift film studio is depicted, where a team of dedicated individuals is preparing to recreate the image of a Taube aircraft soaring over Rheims Cathedral. The Taube, a German aircraft, is shown suspended above the studio, with a camera man precariously positioned aloft, assisted by a pulley system and a bed. The bed, which appears to have been repurposed for this purpose, adds a touch of absurdity to the scene. The makeshift scenery, complete with a miniature cathedral, is carefully positioned below, ready to be captured on film. Heath Robinson's illustration showcases the ingenuity and creativity required to produce war films during this era. The use of a real aircraft, combined with a makeshift studio setup, demonstrates the lengths to which filmmakers went to create authentic and visually stunning footage for their audiences. The cartoonish style and amusing details add a layer of humor and lightness to an otherwise serious subject, making this print a fascinating piece of both film and wartime history. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of film, the First World War, or the works of Heath Robinson. It provides a unique and entertaining perspective on the early days of cinema and the lengths filmmakers went to capture the essence of the war on film.
