Details |
A desperate effort to instil good luck into a five-franc plaque before returning to the Casino. Illustration by William Heath Robinson (1872-1944). Robinson was a regular contributor to the Sketch, the Bystander and other ILN titles during his lifetime. His weekly drawings featuring mind-boggling contraptions and designs were immensely popular. This particular illustration gently pokes fun at superstitious gamblers at Monte Carlo, a popular resort for the privileged classes during the inter-war years.
