1878 European Family Fort Clinton Hall Immigrant Landing Mormon Process Waiting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1878 showcases a significant moment in history - the arrival of Mormon immigrants from Europe at Castle Garden, New York. The wood engraving, created by an American artist, beautifully captures the scene and transports us back to that late 19th-century era. In this image, we see a diverse group of European Mormon immigrants eagerly waiting inside the grand hall of Castle Garden. Their faces reflect both anticipation and hope as they undergo the process of being processed for entry into their new home in North America. Families huddle together, finding solace in each other's presence during this unfamiliar journey. Castle Garden itself stands tall and majestic behind them, its walls echoing with stories of countless immigrant dreams coming true. This historic landing spot at Fort Clinton served as a gateway to opportunity for millions seeking better lives on American soil. The intricate details captured by the wood engraving technique add depth and texture to this snapshot frozen in time. It is a testament to the resilience and determination exhibited by these brave individuals who left everything behind in search of religious freedom and prosperity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded of our shared human experience - one filled with struggles, aspirations, and ultimately triumphs against all odds.
