EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Outward Bound, The Quay of Dublin" takes us back to the bustling harbor of Dublin in 1854. Engraved by T. H. Maguire, this color lithograph showcases the talent and attention to detail that was characteristic of 19th-century artistry. In this lively scene, we witness a poignant moment of departure as an Irish immigrant prepares to embark on a journey towards new opportunities in America. Clutching a bundle containing all his worldly possessions, he stands amidst a crowd of fellow travelers who share his dreams for a better life. The artist skillfully captures the essence of poverty and hope intertwined within this image. The ragged clothing worn by our protagonist serves as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by many during this era. Yet, there is resilience in his eyes and determination etched upon his face. Noteworthy details include the top hat perched atop our traveler's head, symbolizing aspirations for success and social mobility. A shelelagh (traditional Irish walking stick) rests beside him, representing both cultural heritage and perhaps protection on his voyage. This evocative print transports us to an era marked by mass emigration from Ireland due to economic struggles. It reminds us of the courage displayed by countless individuals who left their homeland behind in search of brighter horizons across the Atlantic Ocean. Displayed proudly at the New-York Historical Society in America today, this artwork continues to serve as a powerful testament to human resilience and migration throughout history
