Irish Emigrants Leaving Queenstown Harbour - A Glimpse into the Heartbreaking Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of Irish emigrants departing from Queenstown Harbour. The print, now part of a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images, captures a significant moment in history. The scene depicts a bustling crowd gathered at the harbor's edge as families bid farewell to their loved ones. With heavy hearts and hope for a better future, these brave souls embark on an arduous journey across treacherous seas towards distant lands. Their faces reflect both determination and sorrow as they leave behind their homeland. The image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 5th, 1874. It serves as a powerful reminder of Ireland's turbulent past marked by mass emigration due to economic hardship and political unrest. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the resilience and sacrifice of those who sought new beginnings far away from home. It is impossible not to be moved by the sheer magnitude of emotions captured within this single frame – longing for what was left behind mingled with anticipation for what lies ahead. As we contemplate this historical artwork, let us remember the countless stories woven into its fabric; tales of bravery, loss, hope, and dreams that continue to shape our collective narrative today.
