About this work

A whimsical watercolor and ink drawing by William Heath Robinson, titled Mechanical Aids for Christmas, shows a family seated at a long bench turning hand cranks linked by belts and gears to a machine that stirs a bowl of mixture. A cook in a white cap and apron operates a large wheel at the left, while a black cat plays near the gears and a dresser of white plates stands at the back of the kitchen.
