EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Gardener and children" transports us back in time to a Victorian era garden. The image showcases a scene filled with history, innocence, and nature's beauty. In the foreground, we see a group of children eagerly observing as a skilled gardener tends to his plants. Their curious faces reflect their fascination with the world around them. A young girl stands closest to the gardener, her eyes fixed on him as she learns about gardening techniques. Behind her are two boys, one holding a potted plant while the other gazes at it intently. The setting itself is enchanting - an elegant glasshouse surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. It serves as both protection for delicate plants and an educational space for these young minds to explore nature's wonders. This print was originally created as an illustration for "Our Picture Book" dedicated to the Duchess of Teck in 1878. Its inclusion in this publication suggests that it aimed to inspire children's curiosity about botany and horticulture during that time. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless joy found in gardens - places where knowledge is shared across generations and where children can develop their love for nature. This engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also celebrates the universal bond between humans and plants throughout history.
