"Departed: A Journey Through Time and Loss" In this captivating collection of images, we are transported to various moments in history where departures have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. From the bustling View at St. Rollox Looking South East, capturing the opening of the Glasgow and Garnkirk Railway, to the majestic QSS Lusitania - a souvenir of its grand launch - each photograph tells a story of departure. Amidst these snapshots from different eras, we encounter poignant reminders of loss and mourning. An embossed Victorian mourning card dedicated to Mary Hickman serves as a somber tribute to departed loved ones. And there is Lady At Tomb, her sorrow palpable as she pays homage to someone dear who has passed on. But amidst these tales of departure tinged with sadness, there are also glimpses of adventure and exploration. The L'egare II North Atlantic expedition raft at Falmouth beckons us into uncharted waters, reminding us that departures can also be gateways to new horizons. The Cock Robin Nursery Rhymes Unfortunate Death Thrush adds a touch of whimsy amidst the solemnity. This classic rhyme reminds us that even in children's stories, departures are inevitable and often accompanied by heartache. As we delve deeper into this visual journey through time, it becomes clear that departures come in many forms - from railway inaugurations and ship launches to personal farewells etched onto Victorian cards or captured in sculptures like Archangel Gabriel smiting Assyrians. Ultimately, "Departed" invites us to reflect on the transient nature of life itself. It urges us not only to mourn what has been lost but also embrace what lies ahead when we embark on our own journeys toward new destinations – both physical and emotional – knowing that every departure carries within it the potential for growth and transformation.
