ADVENTURES OF UNCLE LUBIN

first edition

1902 · New York

by Robinson, W. Heath
New York: Brentanos, 1902. Very good plus.. First US edition of the first book written and illustrated by Robinson, a quixotic comedy of contraptions, printed in Great Britain and published the same year as the UK first. Entirely designed by Robinson, UNCLE LUBIN is a fantasy tale of the titular character's voyages and mishaps in balloons, boats, submarines, etc., all depicted with Robinson's famous complicated mechanisms. His debt to Cervantes is particularly obvious in the comedic spirit of adventure that drives the work (and indeed, in this same period Robinson was illustrating a new edition of DON QUIXOTE). The text is often laid out in irregular (truncated)
... cont’d.
