EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we witness a heartfelt farewell as Lewis Casson, the esteemed actor, embarks on a journey to America. The year is 1935, an era marked by uncertainty between two devastating world wars. As he boards the Aquitania boat train at Waterloo station in London, his wife Sybil Thorndyke stands beside him with their daughters Ann and Mary Casson. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of love and support amidst the backdrop of historical turmoil. Lewis Casson's face reveals both excitement for what lies ahead and the bittersweet pang of leaving loved ones behind. His wife's gaze exudes pride mixed with longing, while their daughters cling to their parents' embrace. This photograph not only showcases the personal sacrifice made by individuals during that tumultuous period but also highlights the strength of familial bonds that transcend distance and time. It serves as a reminder of countless families torn apart by circumstances beyond their control. As we peer into this monochrome scene captured by Europeana Photography, we are transported back to an era where departures were laden with emotion and hope for new beginnings. This intimate glimpse into Lewis Casson's departure resonates even today as it encapsulates universal themes of love, separation, and resilience against adversity.
