EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Training young trees, from The Fruit Growers Guide by John Wright" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the art of fruit tree cultivation. The image showcases an English garden scene where meticulous gardening techniques are being employed to train young trees. In this enchanting engraving, we see a demonstration of single diagonal cordon training, a method used to shape and guide the growth of fruit trees. Fencing surrounds the area, emphasizing the importance of protecting these delicate saplings from external factors that could hinder their development. The diagram in this print provides valuable insight into how wire is strategically placed along the branches to support their growth and ensure proper alignment. It serves as both a practical tool for aspiring horticulturists and an aesthetic representation of nature's harmonious design. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable; it highlights not only Miss May Rivers' artistic talent but also Worthington G. Smith and George Shayler's expertise in creating informative diagrams for educational purposes. As we admire this historical piece from The Stapleton Collection, we can't help but appreciate its timeless beauty. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were dedicated to mastering the art of cultivating fruitful gardens through careful planning, planting techniques, and skillful pruning.
