W Heath Robinson began his career illustrating works of poetry and children's stories. At magazines such as The Sketch, he developed his humorous illustrations for adults, culminating in the series of inventions for which he became known by his contemporaries as 'The Gadget King'. Geoffrey Beare is an art collector, co-founder and chairman of the Imaginative Book Illustration Society, and an authority on the work of William Heath Robinson.
Praise for Contraptions: 'All of Heath Robinson's technical skill, all his little details and touches and flourishes, can be enjoyed for once without the aid of a microscope - the cartoon as art' - The Independent.
