"Only everywhere are water faucets, watering cans of any shape, shovels and pots of any size." is a lithograph from the series *Les Petits Misères de la Vie Humaine* by J.J. Grandville. The image depicts a humorous scene in which a man and woman walk through a crowded street where people are engaging in a variety of activities related to gardening, such as watering plants and digging. This whimsical scene, executed in a detailed and expressive black and white style, exemplifies the satirical nature of Grandville's work.
