EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures the moment of anticipation and anxiety as European emigrants wait to board a ship bound for America from the quayside of Liverpool in 1907. The majority of these emigrants are seen huddled together, their meager belongings at their feet, as they pay their fare for third-class passage. The cost of travel ranged between 5 shillings and 6 shillings and 15 pence (5.50 to 6.5), a significant sum at the time, representing a considerable financial sacrifice for many. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the historical mass migration from Europe to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The emigrants, many of whom were fleeing poverty, persecution, or conflict in their home countries, were embarking on a perilous journey across the Atlantic, filled with uncertainty and hope for a new life. The quayside at Liverpool was a bustling hub of activity, with ships coming and going, and the sound of cries from the dockworkers and the clanging of ropes filling the air. The emigrants, dressed in their best clothes, would have been acutely aware of the importance of this moment, as they bid farewell to their loved ones and embarked on a new chapter in their lives. This illustration is a poignant reminder of the human stories behind the statistics of European emigration to America, and the courage and determination of those who made the journey, often under difficult circumstances. It is a powerful visual representation of a significant period in history, and a testament to the enduring human spirit.
