The English photographer skillfully captures the essence of this agricultural marvel, showcasing rows upon rows of vibrant tomato plants reaching towards the ceiling. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for Alfred Barnard's book "Orchards and Gardens Ancient and Modern".
