A Visit to St Helena
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of history and intrigue in a single engraving. This 19th-century masterpiece, held in a private collection, offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment in time. The image takes us back to April 1873 when it was featured as an illustration for The Graphic magazine. The scene unfolds with breathtaking detail, showcasing the topography of St Helena's landscape. We are transported to Longwood Old House, where Napoleon I once resided during his exile on this remote island. The view is awe-inspiring, allowing us to imagine the isolation and contemplation that must have filled these historic walls. In the foreground lies the original tomb of Napoleon I, serving as a poignant reminder of his presence on this island and his lasting impact on world history. It stands as a testament to human ambition and resilience. As we explore further into the image, we catch glimpses of James Town bustling with activity – perhaps visitors who have come from far and wide to pay their respects or simply marvel at this unique destination. This print by Bridgeman Images transports us through time and space, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of St Helena's past. It serves as both a window into history and an invitation for our own personal visit – one that sparks curiosity about those who walked these paths before us.
