Step back in time to 1849 with this engraving depicting life below decks on an emigrant ship bound for Australia. The image shows a family huddled together, poring over a large map as they work out the position of the ship on its long voyage. Originally titled "Night - Tracing the Vessel's Progress," this historical piece offers a glimpse into the challenges and uncertainties faced by emigrants during their journey.

This engraving not only captures a specific moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the resilience and perseverance of those who embarked on such journeys.
