In the lush Edwardian estates of 1910, where manicured lawns were a mark of refinement and modernity, Green’s Lawn Mowers & Rollers stood as icons of both engineering prowess and social standing. This evocative black-and-white advert shows motor and hand mowers elegantly illustrated against the backdrop of a grand country house — evoking a genteel world where lawns were cared for with mechanical elegance.

Published in The Sphere on May 14, 1910, this original print advertisement celebrates Thomas Green & Son Ltd., established in 1835, whose mowers had earned four gold medals and three silver medals, and were even supplied to H.M. the King. Measuring approximately 2½ x 3¾ inches, the design confidently proclaims the wide use of their machines, positioning Green’s as the pinnacle of domestic and royal garden care. The company’s bases in Leeds and London also reflect its national reach and industrial roots.

For collectors of industrial design, horticultural history, or royal-endorsed ephemera, this piece offers more than visual appeal — it tells a story of British ingenuity, craftsmanship, and the pride of producing machinery fit for a king. Preserved in decent vintage condition, it remains a tangible link to the golden age of lawn culture.
