First lesson in the goose step by William Heath Robinson
A small scrawny goose leading German troops, in a goose-stepping lesson. Heath Robinson produced a large number of drawings for the Sketch during World War I, poking fun at the German army and showing a lighter side to war. The goose in the picture is similar to a small bird which regularly appeared as a kind of personal signature in Heath Robinson drawings during the early part of his career.~~
