This is not a modern print. This work is more than 130 years old. The strike is crisp and the lines are sharp.

Additional notes:
These are young emigrants at Liverpool on one of the quays, the man anxious and sad at the idea of leaving the old country, the woman bowed in patient resignation, the child happily so young that it is perfectly unconscious of the painful decision which has been taken by his parents, and of the solemnity of this leave taking. This wind that is blowing is not simple wind, it is the air of the native, in which however harsh and keen it may be, there is something that awakens the memory and stirs the imagination even of those whose experience has been hardest.
