EDITORS COMMENTS
Her Last Glimpse of Home: A Bittersweet Farewell". In this lithograph by Alfred Sheldon-Williams, we witness a tender moment frozen in time. The scene depicts a young woman standing on the deck of a ship, her eyes fixed upon the distant shoreline that fades into the horizon. It is her last glimpse of home. The artist skillfully captures the emotions swirling within her as she waves goodbye to everything familiar and dear to her heart. Her face reveals a mixture of longing, sadness, and anticipation for what lies ahead. Perhaps it is love that beckons her towards new adventures or duty that calls her away from loved ones. The delicate lines and intricate details in this engraving bring forth an air of romance and nostalgia. We can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through her hair and hear the faint sounds of farewells whispered in hushed tones around her. This poignant image was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in 1899, adding depth to its historical significance. It serves as a timeless reminder of those who have embarked on journeys far from home throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own experiences bidding farewell to cherished places or people. It evokes empathy for all who have stood at similar crossroads between past and future. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today.
