Gardening, 1871. Artist: Oskar Pletsch
Gardening, 1871. In the foreground gardeners are pruning (left) and staking a potted plant (right). In the background a third man is adjusting the cover of a cold frame.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gardening, 1871" by Oskar Pletsch takes us back to the enchanting world of horticulture in the 19th century. In this vibrant scene, we are transported to a picturesque garden where diligent gardeners are immersed in their tasks. On the left side, one gardener is meticulously pruning a plant with utmost care and precision. Meanwhile, on the right side, another gardener is seen staking a potted plant, ensuring its stability and growth. In the background, our attention is drawn to a third man who is adjusting the cover of a cold frame. This versatile cover serves dual purposes – it can be used to exclude light when blanching crops or act as insulation during colder weather conditions. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of these gardeners shine through as they adapt their techniques according to nature's demands. The chromolithograph captures every detail with vivid colors that bring life to this historical moment in German horticulture. It showcases not only the beauty of nature but also highlights the dedication and hard work put forth by these men. Oskar Pletsch masterfully portrays an idyllic countryside setting where man harmoniously coexists with plants and trees. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind gardening and its significance in sustaining life throughout centuries past.
