Roberts' Feast of Meats: A Delightful Edwardian Humour Illustration, Circa 1905 This charming and humorous illustration, titled "Roberts' Feast of Meats," dates back to the early 1900s, around 1905. The image, which is reminiscent of the Edwardian era, showcases a plump and jovial gentleman named Roberts, proudly displaying an extravagant spread of various meats on a long table. Roberts' expression exudes a sense of satisfaction and amusement, as if he's enjoying a private joke at the expense of his audience. The table is laden with an impressive array of meats, including roast beef, ham, pork, game, poultry, and sausages. Each dish is artfully arranged, with the meats appearing to be perfectly cooked and seasoned. The tablecloth is adorned with intricate floral patterns, adding to the elegant and refined atmosphere. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that something is amiss. The meats seem to be defying the laws of gravity, as they appear to be suspended in mid-air, held aloft by unseen hands or strings. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a mischievous-looking cat, perched atop a nearby chair, seemingly in on the joke. This delightful illustration is a testament to the playful and whimsical sense of humor that characterized the Edwardian era. It invites us to ponder the mysteries of the universe and to appreciate the simple joys of life, even as we marvel at the seemingly impossible feast before us.
