EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the 1850s depicts two men, Advert and John Warner, proudly standing next to their latest invention, a galvanised iron tub garden engine with Warner's registered spreader, in the heart of London's Jewin Street. The engine, manufactured by the renowned John Warner and Sons company, was a testament to the ingenuity and technological advancements of the Victorian era. The tub garden engine, a precursor to the modern lawn mower, was designed to make gardening tasks more manageable and efficient for homeowners. The engine's galvanised iron tub was coated with a protective layer of zinc, ensuring durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The registered spreader, a crucial attachment, allowed for the even distribution of fertiliser or seed, contributing to the lush growth of gardens. The photograph, published in the July 1856 issue of The Gardener's Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette, showcases the men in their work clothes, with Advert adjusting a valve on the engine while John Warner looks on approvingly. The image captures the essence of the 1850s, with the men's attire, the cobblestone street, and the horse-drawn carriage in the background, all contributing to the rich historical context. The tub garden engine was a significant innovation in gardening equipment, and this photograph provides a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship of John Warner and Sons in creating a product that revolutionised gardening practices in Victorian London.
