The Sailor's Departure. Oval No. 78. Le Blond, Abraham (British, 1819-1894). Le Blond & Co. A sailor bids an emotional farewell to his wife and eldest child outside a cottage door. His wife's face is buried in a handkerchief and she clings to his hand. A old woman, a mother or mother-in-law, sits by the cottage door and a younger child plays on the ground, oblivious to events. A dog stands at the open garden gate signalling the sailor's imminent departure. Baxter-process print, embossed, 1853-1867.
