EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving captures an intimate and poignant moment on board the Refugee Ship North Britain in 1882. The scene shows European refugees, having fled from Egypt, as they begin their day. In the foreground, a woman is seated at a table, having her hair dressed by another woman. The intricacy of the hairstyle suggests that this was a time-consuming process, yet the women seem to be engaged in a comfortable and familiar routine. Nearby, another woman is shown in the process of lacing up her corset, a common undergarment of the time. The informal setting and the focus on daily life contrast sharply with the larger historical context of the refugees' displacement and the challenges they faced. The North Britain, which had been chartered by the British government to transport refugees from Egypt following the British occupation of the country, carried over 1,500 passengers to Malta and then on to England. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of these refugees, providing a humanizing counterpoint to the larger narrative of their displacement and the geopolitical events that drove them from their homes." This engraving, titled "Scene on board the Refugee Ship North Britain, 1882," is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of European refugees during a time of political upheaval. The image, which is not to be used for commercial purposes, is available for rights-managed licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online. The intricately detailed engraving, which measures 21 x 15 cm, offers a unique and poignant glimpse into the daily lives of refugees and the human stories behind the larger historical events of the time. The image is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and preserve moments of history, offering valuable insights into the past and the experiences of those who have come before us.
