EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Watering Garden with the Foot, Deuteronomy xi, 10" transports us to a bygone era of gardening practices. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a unique method of watering plants using one's foot. The image is part of The Picture Scrap Book or Happy Hours at Home, a publication by the Religious Tract Society dating back to 1864 or earlier. It beautifully illustrates a biblical reference from Deuteronomy XI: "For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come out where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot". The intricate details captured in this engraving invite us into a serene garden setting. We see lush greenery surrounding an individual tending to their plants using their feet as tools for irrigation. This unconventional technique adds an element of intrigue and curiosity to the scene. Whether used for religious contemplation or simply as inspiration for garden enthusiasts, this print offers a glimpse into historical horticultural practices. Its inclusion in private collections speaks volumes about its artistic value and enduring appeal. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance today.
