With a career that extended into the first half of the 20th century, Robinson's artistic commentary proved influential amid major world events, such as World War I and the Russian Revolution. His collection 'Cartoons on the War' offers a poignant reflection on the wartime atmosphere, employing sharp wit and an often somber tone to encapsulate the era's complexities and the human condition within it.
