EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moment of Departure - all the staff line up to say Goodbye" takes us back in time to the early 1910s, offering a glimpse into an era where etiquette and good manners were held in high regard. The image showcases a group of dedicated servants from a grand household bidding farewell to their departing employers. Lined up with impeccable precision, we see the butler, housekeeper, housemaid, footmen, and other members of the devoted staff standing alongside each other. Their expressions reflect both professionalism and genuine affection for those they have served diligently. The scene is set outside the magnificent residence as a carriage awaits its passengers. Luggage is neatly arranged nearby, symbolizing the departure about to take place. This postcard captures not only a historical moment but also highlights the importance placed on courtesy and respect during this period. As we observe this poignant display of loyalty and gratitude, it becomes evident that these servants formed an integral part of their employers' lives. Beyond fulfilling their duties within the household walls, they shared personal connections with those they served. Through this single snapshot frozen in time by Mary Evans Prints Online's collection rights managed photograph archive comes alive again—a testament to history's rich tapestry woven by countless individuals whose stories often remain untold.
