1869 – Winter Gardeners

This charming piece, entitled “Winter Gardeners” comes from a March 1st, 1870 edition of “Hearth and Home” published in New York. It depicts three rabbits and a mouse, all enjoying a secret fare of snow-encrusted cabbage in the local vegetable garden. We are fortunate to be able to look to both sides of the Atlantic for samples of Harrison’s work. In many cases, images initially drawn for British publications, were reprinted in American ones, often by popular demand. This image is ideal for a child’s room and is currently available in A4, A3 and A2 sizing options.
