EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving, titled 'Female Passengers Taking Exercise on Deck of the Emigrant Ship Indus,' offers a glimpse into the lives of intrepid women embarking on the long journey from Britain to Australia in 1872. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, the women are depicted in bustles and shawls, engaging in exercise on the ship's deck. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a historical record of the arduous sea voyage that was an essential part of the mass migration from Europe to Australia during the late 19th century. The Indus, a vessel of the Ilnuk Steamship Company, was one of many ships that carried thousands of passengers to the land down under. The passage, which could last for several months, was a challenging experience for all aboard, especially for the women and children. This engraving captures a moment of respite, as the women take advantage of the fresh air and open space to stretch their legs and maintain their health during the voyage. The intricate details of the women's clothing, from their elaborate hairstyles to their high-waisted gowns, serve as a reminder of the societal norms and expectations of the time. The shawls, a common accessory for women during this era, not only added a touch of elegance but also provided warmth and protection from the elements. As the women engage in their daily routine on the deck of the Indus, they offer a glimpse into the daily life of emigrant passengers during this period. This historical image not only provides insight into the lives of these women but also sheds light on the larger story of mass migration and the human experience of traveling across vast oceans to start a new life in a far-off land.
