Original – Uncle Lubin in his flying machine by W. Heath Robinson (1902). Uncle Lubin has many adventures while searching for his little nephew including tangling with a sea monster and travelling to the moon; then again, who hasn't done that?
Reason
W. Heath Robinson is the British Rube Goldberg but as well as outlandish devices for accomplishing everyday tasks he also wrote and illustrated some children's book of which The Adventures of Uncle Lubin is my favourite. This is picture is probably the best for showing Uncle Lubin himself, but maybe one day some brave person will nominate the whole set of illustrations from Uncle Lupin as they are all fantastic (in both senses of the word)
Articles in which this image appears
Just W. Heath Robinson at the moment; Chris Woodrich will no doubt try to bully me into doing an article on the book and I'm easily bullied.
