EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Going to School" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of a young girl's journey. The image, captured by Miss Eliza F. Manning during the late 19th century, evokes a sense of both anticipation and trepidation. The scene unfolds at a quaint railway station, where the girl stands alone with her beloved doll clutched tightly in one hand. Her small suitcase rests beside her, symbolizing the weight of leaving behind familiar comforts for an unknown future. With downcast eyes and a slightly furrowed brow, she exudes an air of anxiousness mixed with determination. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, our hearts ache for the loneliness that emanates from the young girl's posture. Perhaps it is her first day at boarding school or a temporary separation from loved ones; either way, she appears apprehensive about what lies ahead. One cannot help but wonder about the figure absent from the frame - her grandmother. Was it she who bid farewell to her granddaughter moments before? We can almost imagine their tearful embrace as they said their goodbyes. "Going to School" captures not only a specific historical period but also universal emotions experienced by countless individuals throughout time: departure, uncertainty, and resilience in facing new beginnings. It serves as a timeless reminder of human strength amidst life's transitions and stirs within us empathy for those who embark on similar journeys today.
