About This Item
BAI 2011. Paperback, 240x170mm, 160p, throughout bw and col. illustrations. English edition ISBN 9789085866145. Van de massele Europese emigratie tussen 1850 en 1940 naar de Nieuwe Wereld zijn bijna geen beelden bewaard gebleven. Van de Joodse emigranten zijn er wel de foto's van het leven voor het vertrek (Roman Vishniac in de shetls in Oost-Europa) en bij aankomst (Jacob Riis in de Lower East Side - New York). Beelden uit de vertrekhavens vindt men enkel bij de Antwerpse kunstenaar Eugeen Van Mieghem (1875- 1930) die rond 1900 beklijvende kunstwerken maakte van de ca. 2,5 miljoen landverhuizers die met de Red Star Line vertrokken naar Amerika en Canada. Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van "The Missing Images" dat de laatste jaren internationaal herontdekt wordt. Scarcely any images have been preserved of the mass migration from Europe to the New World which occurred between 1850 and 1940. Of course, photographs do exist concerning the lives of Jewish migrants prior to their departure (Roman Vishniac in the Eastern European shetls), as well as photographs taken on the arrival of those migrants at their destination (Jacob Riis in the Lower East Side of New York). However, images from the ports of embarcation are to be found only in connection with Antwerp's artist Eugeen Van Mieghem (1875- 1930) who, around 1900, produced moving works of art portraying the roughly 2.5 million people who emigrated to the United States and Canada on the Red Star Line. This book tells the story of "The Missing Images" that have been rediscovered internationally in recent years.
