EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Emigration - Visited by a Settler not the Tax Gatherer" (19th century) 2. Description: This 19th-century print by an unknown artist offers a humorous and lighthearted take on the often daunting and fear-inducing experience of emigration. The image depicts a settler, dressed in the typical attire of the era, sitting on a rickety stool with a look of shock and disbelief on his face. A large, angry bull stands before him, its horns poised and ready to charge. 3. Context: The print serves as a reminder that emigration was not just about the promise of new opportunities and a better life, but also about the challenges and hardships that came with it. The settler, who had likely left his home country in search of a better future, is now faced with a new and unexpected obstacle – a bull that seems to symbolize the raw, untamed nature of the new world. 4. Analysis: The use of humor in this print is an effective way to lighten the mood and provide a sense of relief to those who may have been considering emigration themselves. The settler's expression of fear and shock is relatable, and the comic element of the bull adds an element of levity to the scene. The print also serves as a reminder that emigration was not always a straightforward or easy process, and that settlers often had to face unexpected challenges in their quest for a new life. 5. Conclusion: This 19th-century print, titled "Emigration - Visited by a Settler not the Tax Gatherer," offers a unique and humorous perspective on the emigration experience. The image of a settler facing off against an angry bull serves as a reminder of the challenges and hardships that came with the journey to a new land, while also providing a lighthearted moment of relief and levity.
