EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Arthur Boyd Houghton in 1870, it offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by steerage emigrants during their voyage to the promised land of America. The print showcases a moonlit scene aboard a maritime vessel, where hopeful individuals from various backgrounds gather together. Their faces reflect both excitement and trepidation as they embark on this life-altering journey across the vast ocean. Houghton's meticulous attention to detail captures every emotion and nuance of this historic event. The artist masterfully portrays not only the physical hardships endured but also the dreams and aspirations that fuel these brave souls. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of the immense courage required for such an undertaking. These men, women, and children left behind everything familiar with hopes of finding better opportunities across distant shores.
