EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Waving Goodbye At The Pier" we are transported back in time to Melbourne, Australia circa 1916. As the ship prepares to depart from the bustling harbor, a crowd gathers on the pier to bid farewell. The image captures a moment filled with anticipation and emotion. People of all ages stand together, their faces etched with both excitement and sadness. Streamers flutter in the air, creating an atmosphere of celebration amidst the somber occasion. Amidst the sea of black and white, one can't help but notice a lifeboat stationed nearby - a reminder of both hope and caution as loved ones embark on their journey across vast waters. This archival photograph by Max Haas beautifully encapsulates an era when transportation was not just about reaching destinations but also about bidding heartfelt farewells. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times gone by, human connections were cherished above all else. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our own experiences saying goodbye at piers around the world – moments that evoke bittersweet memories for us all.
