Un couple Anglais, illustration from La Rue a Londres, pub. by G. Charpentier et Cie, 1884 (litho) by Lancon, Auguste Andre (1836-87); Private Collection; The Stapleton Collection; French, out of copyright. This black and white lithograph transports us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London in the late 19th century. The print depicts an English couple amidst their journey towards a new life abroad. The young woman stands on the deck of a ship, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon as she contemplates the unknown that lies ahead. Her worn clothing suggests they are not wealthy individuals but rather part of the working class seeking better opportunities elsewhere. Beside her stands her companion - a dapper gentleman with his hat tilted slightly to one side. His stoic expression reveals determination and resilience in the face of uncertainty. Together, they represent countless others who left their homeland behind in search of brighter prospects. This sketch captures both the excitement and trepidation experienced by those embarking on such journeys during this era of mass migration. It serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience and adaptability when faced with adversity. Through Lancon's skilled hand, we are transported into this historical moment where dreams collided with reality against the backdrop of London's crowded streets. This image is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a testament to our shared history as migrants seeking new beginnings.
