Thanks Jenny and Tessa I will add him this evening and we can look at both this weekend it will be good to compare their styles    etc . If there are anymore artist that you good folk would like adding please let me know , they don’t need to be well known or be so called genius artists . It’s really interesting that such a well known per person like WHR still has a side of his artwork that is relatively unknown.

Another  of his watercolours and a couple  his cartoons . I did wonder if his humour is a very British thing , as it takes a dig at ourselves in many ways .

Charles Heath Robinson 1870 - 1937  , brother of William was a illustrator and artist . There is a elder brother Thomas 1838 - 1902 who was also a illustrator . I will add his work tomorrow lunchtime  this is turning into quite a treat. Some of Charles work I hope you enjoy it and find more online. .

Love that last one, Paul.  I had posted these earlier but will post them again now that you have added a separate section for Charles Heath Robinson.  He worked in the Art Nouveau style which is probably my all-time favourite. And a few more….

I thought I knew this artist well, but there's quite a few paintings I haven't seen before.  Great!

Strong Jewish theme to the last one of these - it'd be interesting to know the title.  The Heath Robinsons were all very clever boys - I particularly like the wart remover.....  The second one up looks like Clive of India - uniforms too early for the Indian Mutiny; not our most glorious series of hours.

I had missed the wart remover, ouch, how mad is that! Also like the portable pedestrian crossing. Amazing imagination, and some of his ideas remind me of Wallace and Gromit.

And you would be right in saying that Tessa as apparently the Wallace and Grommet author was a fan of WHR.

I think you mean Nick Parks, Dixie.  Now part of Aardman Animations, which was founded by Dave Sproxton and Peter Lord- all worthyartists in their own right. Those bayonets look a bit extreme for removing warts!
