EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a moment in history from 1897, as a father prepares to leave for work, bidding farewell to his wife and young daughter. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and showcases the traditional gender roles of the time, with the husband heading off to provide for his family while the wife stays home to care for their child.
The father's expression is one of determination and responsibility, knowing that he must work hard to support his loved ones. His wife looks on with a mixture of pride and sadness, understanding the sacrifices he makes each day for their family. Meanwhile, their daughter clings tightly to her mother's hand, perhaps feeling a sense of longing as she watches her father depart.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the historical context in which it was taken, highlighting the societal expectations placed on men as providers and women as caretakers. It also speaks to the universal experience of saying goodbye to loved ones each day as they head off into the world.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this intimate moment in time, allowing viewers to reflect on themes of family, duty, and sacrifice through this touching image.
