Auld Lang Syne Emigrants Emigration Gold Rush Pick Separation Shovel Lovers
Hands Across The Sea - A Symbol of Love and Separation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Hands Across The Sea (litho)" by English School, from the 20th century, captures a poignant moment in history. In this image, we see a couple bidding farewell to each other as they embark on separate journeys. Their hands are tightly clasped together, symbolizing their unbreakable bond despite the physical distance that will soon separate them. The postcard format adds an additional layer of meaning to this artwork. During the early 20th century, postcards were often used as a means of communication between loved ones who had been separated due to emigration or other circumstances. This image serves as a reminder of the countless couples who experienced heart-wrenching farewells during times of great change and upheaval. The presence of a shovel suggests that one half of this couple is leaving for new opportunities abroad - perhaps drawn by dreams of gold rush adventures or seeking better prospects elsewhere. Yet amidst the uncertainty and longing for what lies ahead, love prevails. As we gaze at this engraving brought to life through Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction process, we are reminded not only of historical events but also timeless emotions such as love and separation. It evokes feelings reminiscent of "auld lang syne" capturing both nostalgia for what has been left behind and hope for what lies ahead. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a testament to human resilience
