EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving, titled 'Young Emigrants Singing Grace on Board an Atlantic Steamship, 1884,' offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of young Scottish emigrants during their transatlantic voyage. The image shows 21 boys, dressed in uniforms and wearing Scottish hats, gathered around a table on the ship's deck. They are bowed in prayer, heads down, as they recite the Grace before their meal. The scene is reminiscent of the Dr. Stephenson's Homes, a network of children's institutions in Scotland that provided care and education for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. Many of these children were later sent to North America as part of the 'Scottish Emigration Society's' efforts to provide them with a better future. The boys' uniforms and Scottish hats are symbols of their shared heritage and the sense of community that sustained them during their journey. The simple act of singing Grace before their meal serves as a reminder of the importance of faith, tradition, and gratitude, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image, produced as an engraving, is a testament to the historical significance of this moment. It offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of young emigrants during their voyage across the Atlantic, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the resilience and determination of those who made the journey to build new lives in a new land."
