Last Sight of Old England - A Glimpse into the Emigrant's Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "Last Sight of Old England" takes us back in time to an era when brave souls bid farewell to their homeland in search of new horizons. Created by John Gilbert and now part of a private collection, this artwork was featured in Francis Watt's Pictorial Chronicles of the Mighty Deep around 1880. The image depicts a poignant scene on board a ship as it sets sail from English shores. Sailors and emigrants alike gather on deck, their faces filled with mixed emotions – hope for what lies ahead and nostalgia for what they leave behind. The sea stretches out before them, symbolizing both adventure and uncertainty. Gilbert masterfully captures the essence of this historic moment through intricate details and vibrant colours. The waving figures convey a sense of longing, while the ship itself stands tall against the backdrop of old England. It serves as a powerful reminder that journeys like these were not only physical but also emotional transformations. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported to an era defined by exploration and human resilience. It reminds us that throughout history, people have embarked on daring voyages in pursuit of dreams or simply seeking better lives elsewhere. "Last Sight of Old England" invites us to reflect on our own personal journeys while paying homage to those who came before us – forever etching their stories into the annals of history.
