EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Advert, T Green's New Invention in Lawn Mowing and Rolling Machines," dates back to 1856, showcasing a revolutionary advancement in garden care during the Victorian era. The photograph, published in various agricultural and horticultural publications of the time, including The Gardeners' Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette, highlights T. Green's innovative lawn mowing and rolling machines. The central focus of the photograph is a man, dressed in a waistcoat and top hat, skillfully operating the lawn mower. The machine, a marvel of 1850s engineering, features a large, open box with a man-sized opening, allowing the operator to comfortably mow the grass while standing upright. A boy assists by pulling the machine, which is connected to it via a rope. In the background, another man operates a rolling machine, which smoothes and flattens the freshly mown grass, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing finish. The machines, with their intricate designs and impressive functionality, represent a significant departure from the labor-intensive and time-consuming methods of maintaining lawns prevalent during the era. The prices for these machines, listed in the advertisement, reveal their affordability for the average Victorian homeowner, making them an attractive alternative to hiring gardeners or relying on traditional methods. The introduction of these machines marked a turning point in lawn care, paving the way for the modern lawn care industry and setting the stage for further innovations in garden machinery.
