EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a serene gardening scene, showcasing the meticulous work of dedicated gardeners. In the foreground, two skilled individuals can be seen engrossed in their tasks. On the left, a gardener carefully prunes away excess foliage from a plant, ensuring its healthy growth and vibrant appearance. Meanwhile, on the right side of the image, another gardener is diligently staking a potted plant to provide it with necessary support as it reaches towards the sky. Intriguingly, in the background of this picturesque setting, we witness yet another man attending to an intriguing contraption known as a cold frame. His focus lies on adjusting its cover - an essential component that serves dual purposes within horticulture practices. This versatile cover can be utilized to exclude light when blanching crops or act as insulation during colder weather conditions. The artist behind this enchanting illustration is none other than Oscar Pletsch (1830-1888), a renowned German illustrator celebrated for his exceptional talent in capturing scenes from children's books. Created in 1871 through intricate chromolithography techniques, this print not only showcases Pletsch's artistic prowess but also provides us with glimpses into traditional gardening methods and tools employed during that era
