EDITORS COMMENTS
Departure for a Boarding School: A Bittersweet Farewell". In this lithograph from the 19th century, we witness a poignant moment of departure as a young girl prepares to leave her family behind and embark on a new chapter in her life. Drawn by J. L. Krimmel, this image captures the essence of modesty and simplicity. The scene unfolds with the girl standing at the center, surrounded by her loving parents and siblings. With an air of melancholy, she clutches onto her few possessions tightly—a small bundle held close to her chest. Her expression reveals both excitement and trepidation as she gazes into an uncertain future. Her father stands tall beside her, his protective presence evident as he places a reassuring hand on her shoulder. The mother's face reflects mixed emotions—pride in seeing their daughter grow but also sadness at bidding farewell to one so dear. This engraving beautifully encapsulates the universal experience of leaving home for education—a rite of passage that many have undergone throughout history. It speaks volumes about familial love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of knowledge. As we gaze upon this evocative print from American Antiquarian Society's collection, we are reminded of our own journeys towards independence and personal growth. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst change and separation, love remains steadfast—the foundation upon which dreams take flight.
