EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Steerage Passengers Emigrating to the United States of America from Germany, 1899" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The image showcases a ship belonging to the Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen line, as it carries hopeful German emigrants towards their new lives across the Atlantic. The scene is filled with emotion and anticipation. In this snapshot of social history, we see a group of poor economic migrants who have made the brave decision to leave their homeland behind in search of better opportunities. Their faces reflect both excitement and trepidation as they prepare for their journey into the unknown. The artist, Carl Hermann Kuechler, captures every detail meticulously – from the weary expressions on some passengers' faces to the tightly packed conditions aboard the ship's steerage section. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by those seeking refuge or prosperity in distant lands during this era. As we gaze upon this print from 1899 held at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, we are transported back to a time when mass migration shaped nations and changed lives forever. It stands as an enduring symbol of human resilience and determination against all odds.
