Too Much Christmas
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and humorous caricature illustration by the renowned British artist, William Heath Robinson (1872-1944). In this charming piece, Robinson captures the essence of the holiday season's excesses through the personification of trees, as an old woman, dressed in a shawl, scolds them by the riverbank. The illustration, dated back to 1910, showcases Robinson's exceptional talent for creating whimsical and intricate drawings. The old woman, Mrs. Ginabody, stands with a stern expression, her index finger pointed towards the trees, as she exclaims, "You old rogues, how dare you - at your time of life too!" The trees, personified with human faces and expressions, hang their heads in shame, their branches adorned with an overabundance of Christmas decorations. Heath Robinson, a versatile cartoonist, illustrator, and artist, was celebrated for his caricatures and drawings of elaborate machines designed to accomplish simple tasks. However, in "Too Much Christmas," he showcases his ability to convey humor and emotion through a simple yet effective scene. The illustration transports us to a bygone era, where the spirit of Christmas was perhaps a bit more overwhelming than we might prefer. This piece is a testament to Heath Robinson's artistic genius and his unique ability to bring a touch of whimsy and humor to everyday life. "Too Much Christmas" is a must-have for any collection of vintage Christmas illustrations and a delightful reminder of the joy and excesses of the holiday season.
