William Heath Robinson (1872 - 1944)
Robinson was an English cartoonist and illustrator, best-known for the

Ribbon Gimps, and decided I would like to have a go at it, but only wanted to
try a small pattern, so I managed to get some very fine ribbon to use with

Hello Everybody,
when I, years ago, visited a Cantu course we got only a few drewings
