EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 19th-century engraving captures a fascinating moment in history, titled "On the Way to India, Southampton, UK, 1876: 1". The print showcases two distinct scenes that provide a glimpse into the foreign labor and bustling activity surrounding this voyage. In the first scene, we witness Lascars heaving the chain cable with immense strength and determination. These skilled workers were an integral part of maritime trade during this era. The second scene depicts the intricate process of getting mail bags on board the Deccan ship. This meticulous task required coordination and efficiency as sailors carefully loaded these important parcels onto the vessel. It serves as a reminder of how communication was maintained between distant lands in an age before modern technology. The artistic technique employed in this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Victorian culture and style prevalent during that time period. The retro-styled image transports us back to a bygone era when such engravings held great significance as historical documentation. As we admire this historic artwork from Liszt Collection's archives, it is important to appreciate its illustrative value rather than any commercial use it may have had. This piece offers us a window into maritime history while showcasing both foreign labor dynamics and essential aspects of global connectivity in the late 19th century.
