EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving, titled "From New to Old England, in the Iman Steamer: Ho!," captures a moment in the arduous journey of emigration during the late 19th century. The image, published in 1879, depicts the crew of the Iman Steamer diligently scrubbing the decks in heavy rain. The rough seas and inclement weather are evident in the creased sails and the rain-soaked clothing of the sailors. Emigration from Europe to the New World was a common phenomenon during this era, driven by economic hardship, political instability, and the promise of a better life in the Americas. The voyage was long and arduous, with passengers and crew alike enduring cramped quarters, monotonous food, and the ever-present threat of illness. The Iman Steamer, a sturdy and reliable vessel, was one of many steamers that made the transatlantic crossing a more manageable endeavor. The crew, a diverse group of men from various nationalities, worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers. In this image, they are seen scrubbing the decks, an essential task in maintaining the ship's cleanliness and preventing the spread of disease. Despite the challenges, the promise of a new life in the Old World was a powerful motivator for those who embarked on this journey. The rain and the scrubbing, the heavy labor and the rough seas, were all part of the journey to a new beginning. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by those who made the journey from New to Old England, and the resilience and determination that defined the human spirit during a time of great upheaval and change.
