Transportation to Australia, c1830 - A Convict's Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print from the 19th century, we witness a heart-wrenching scene of departure and despair. The image captures a convict in chains bidding farewell, perhaps forever, as they prepare to board a ship bound for Australia - a distant land that Britain utilized as a penal colony. The engraving depicts the solemn moment on the seashore where grief and sadness fill the air. The chained convict stands alongside other men and women who share their fate, all facing an uncertain future. As they gather at the water's edge, boats await them ominously in the background. The artist skillfully conveys both physical and emotional aspects of this journey. The chains symbolize punishment while also representing severed ties with loved ones left behind. Faces etched with sorrow reflect the weight of their crimes and impending exile. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of an era when transportation was used as both punishment and means of colonization. It evokes empathy for those forced into such circumstances – individuals whose lives were forever altered by society's judgment. Through its monochrome palette, this print invites contemplation on themes of travel, journey, voyage, crime, departure, exile, and deportation. It encapsulates not only historical events but also universal human experiences like saying goodbye or leaving one's homeland. As we gaze upon this piece by Anon (creator), we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter
