EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving captures the poignant moment of departure for a large number of Irish families from Clifden, County Galway, in the year 1883. The image, which was produced by an unknown illustrator for an Irish newspaper or magazine, depicts the scene of people bidding farewell to their loved ones and homeland as they board horse-drawn carts filled with their meager belongings. The sense of urgency and desperation is palpable, as the emigrants prepare to embark on a long and uncertain journey to a new life in a foreign land. The historical context of this image is significant, as it comes during a period of mass emigration from Ireland due to poverty, famine, and economic hardship. The Great Famine of the mid-19th century had left a deep scar on the Irish population, and many families saw emigration as their only means of survival. The image of the horse-drawn carts, which were a common mode of transportation during this era, adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler way of life that was being left behind. Despite the difficult circumstances, there is a sense of resilience and determination in the faces of the emigrants, as they look towards the future with hope and determination. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring desire for a better life, no matter the challenges that lie ahead. The engraving also highlights the importance of historical records and images in preserving the stories and experiences of our ancestors. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and heritage of Ireland and the Irish people, and the impact that emigration has had on shaping the world as we know it today.
