When Eve Delved and Adam span, who then was the gentleman?'Scenic outdoor photographs of woman gardening. With captions, Trained Muscles Make Nothing of a Heavy Roller, Sweeping Up the Leaves after a Storm, A Wheelbarrow is a Trusty Friend, The Last of the Winter Vegetables, Considering a New Border, and Hoeing the Onions'. With description, Adam was the first - and or some time only - gardener. Now Eve has encroached on this. One of the few remaining professions that were regarded exclusively man's own. She seems, from our pictures, to be able to plant and dig most picturesquely. Date: 1910

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the serene beauty of nature, these captivating photographs from the early 1910s showcase a woman's deft touch in the art of gardening. In one image, "Trained Muscles Make Nothing of a Heavy Roller," Eve is seen gracefully maneuvering a heavy roller, her toned arms and back glistening with sweat as she smooths out the soil. In another, "Sweeping Up the Leaves after a Storm," she effortlessly gathers fallen foliage with a broom, the wind gently ruffling her dress. The photograph "A Wheelbarrow is a Trusty Friend (When Eve Delved and Adam span, who then was the gentleman?)" highlights Eve's gardening prowess as she expertly navigates the garden with a wheelbarrow, her determination and focus evident in her expression. Gardening, once considered a profession exclusively for men, has now become a shared passion between the sexes. In these images, Eve's ability to plant and dig with picturesque finesse challenges the traditional gender roles of the time. The photographs, "The Last of the Winter Vegetables," "Considering a New Border," and "Hoeing the Onions," showcase her dedication and creativity in cultivating the land. The scene "When Eve Delved and Adam span, who then was the gentleman?" poses a thought-provoking question, as we witness Eve's growing influence in the garden. These enchanting photographs offer a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty of nature and the strength and grace of a woman's touch.
