"Crossing the Divide: Tales of Immigrants Seeking a Better Life" In the 19th century, amidst Thirsty Trappers Making a Rush for the River, immigrants embarked on perilous journeys in search of new beginnings. The artwork from c. 1837 captures their determination to cross physical and metaphorical divides. One such immigrant who left an indelible mark was Albert Einstein. In 1940, he pledged allegiance to become an American citizen alongside his secretary Helen Dukas and stepdaughter Margot. The black-and-white photo symbolizes not only Einstein's genius but also his desire to contribute to his adopted homeland. Judge Phillip Foreman presented Einstein with his certificate of American citizenship in another poignant image from 1940. This momentous occasion marked more than just legal status; it represented the fulfillment of dreams and aspirations shared by countless immigrants throughout history. Ellis Island holds a special place in immigration history as millions arrived seeking refuge or opportunities between 1895-1910. A captivating black-and-white photograph showcases these brave souls disembarking onto American soil, carrying hope and resilience within their hearts. The struggles faced by immigrants are beautifully depicted in A Family of Tartars from c. 1885, where ink, watercolor, and gold blend together to portray their unique culture against a backdrop of migration challenges. Polish emigrants at Lehrte railway station in Berlin captured the essence of leaving one's homeland behind for an uncertain future abroad back in 1888. Their faces tell stories of sacrifice and courage as they bid farewell to loved ones before boarding trains bound for distant lands. Immigrants arriving in New York by ship were greeted with vibrant colors that contrasted with their apprehension about starting anew. The lithograph brings forth emotions ranging from excitement to trepidation as they stepped foot onto foreign shores filled with possibilities yet unknown. Maison des Aryas during times of migrations is etched into history through an engraving.
