EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement for Alexander Shank & Son, Ltd's lawn mowers from 1905. The image showcases a selection of their innovative petrol motor mowing machines, a groundbreaking development in lawn care technology during the Edwardian era. The mowers, proudly bearing the Shanks name and the company's logo, are prominently displayed against a serene backdrop of lush, green grass. Each machine is meticulously detailed, revealing the intricate engineering that went into their design. The patent axle springs, a key feature of these mowers, are highlighted in the bottom left corner, emphasizing the importance of this technological advancement. The advertisement exudes an air of sophistication and modernity, appealing to homeowners who sought to maintain immaculate lawns and gardens. The use of petrol motors allowed for greater efficiency and ease of use compared to manual reel mowers, making these machines a desirable addition to any household. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the gentle hum of the petrol engines and feel the crisp, cool air of the Edwardian era. This advertisement is not only a testament to the ingenuity and progress of the early 20th century but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of a well-manicured lawn. This evocative print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, garden aficionados, and anyone with an appreciation for the charm of the past.
