The Departure

A couple say their goodbyes as the carriage driver waits to take the lady away. With the baggage all loaded and the horse tethered and ready to go, a couple says a final few words to each other before they part. This carriage image is in the public domain and it’s large size would make it an interesting card for someone who is moving on to new adventures.

The book in which this drawing of the departure appeared, Little Mittens for The Little Darlings was identified as being copyrighted by Fanny Barrow in 1863. It is unclear if Barrow was the publisher, author, illustrator or all three.
