1852 Busy Cheer Departure Hundreds Liverpool On Lookers P Ier
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving captures the historic moment of the Departure of the Great Britain from Liverpool's Princes Pier in 1852. The steam ship, which was the largest and fastest vessel of its time, was bound for Australia, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the mass migration of Europeans to the land down under. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as hundreds of onlookers cheer and wave goodbye to the departing ship. The busy scene at the pier is a testament to the importance of Liverpool as a major port during the Victorian era, with various ships, boats, and people going about their daily business. The Great Britain's departure was not only a significant event for those emigrating to Australia, but also for the people of Liverpool who saw it as a symbol of progress and opportunity. This engraving is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the social, economic, and cultural conditions of the time, and is a reminder of the important role that Liverpool played in shaping the history of both the UK and Australia."
