Verlag: Art Journal

Beschreibung

The print titled "LEAVING HOME" is a poignant steel engraving created in 1879, based on an original work by the British artist Frank Holl. The engraving was executed by C.H. Jeens. The scene depicts a somber moment at a train station where a soldier, dressed in his military uniform, is preparing to depart, likely for war. He is surrounded by his family, including an elderly man, a woman, and a young girl, all of whom appear deeply affected by the impending separation. The soldier's posture and the expressions on the faces of his family members convey a mix of sadness, worry, and resignation. The background includes a sign indicating "3rd Class" and posters advertising travel destinations such as "Youth of Britain" and "Dickens's Household," adding context to the setting. Frank Holl was known for his social realism and his ability to capture the emotional depth of everyday life, which is evident in this engraving. The print also includes the text "F. HOLL ARA. PINXT" and "C.H. JEENS. SCULPT," acknowledging the original artist and the engraver.
