EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the departure of the P&O steamer Sumatra from Southampton, England, bound for India on April 10th, 1875. The image is a contemporary wood engraving that beautifully depicts the scene at Southampton's bustling quay. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era of late colonialism and exploration. The crowd gathered on the quay reflects the excitement and anticipation surrounding this voyage to India - a journey that symbolized more than just transportation; it represented Britain's expanding influence across its vast empire. The Peninsula and Oriental (P&O) steamship company played a crucial role in connecting England with its colonies. The Sumatra stands proudly at harbor, ready to embark on her long voyage through uncharted waters towards distant shores. This image serves as a testament to the advancements in navigation and transportation during this period. Intricate details captured by the wood engraving technique bring life to every aspect of this historical moment – from passengers eagerly awaiting their adventure to crew members ensuring smooth operations onboard. It is evident that British imperialism was deeply ingrained within these scenes.
