EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ponton anglais dans la rade de Portsmouth" transports us back in time to the 19th century. The vibrant colours of this lithograph, created by Louis Charles Bombled, bring life to a historical scene captured within the private collection. The image depicts an English pontoon in the harbor of Portsmouth. It is a visual representation from Le Memorial de Saint-Helene, a book written by Le Comte De Las Cases and illustrated by L Bombled in 1895. This particular illustration showcases the infamous prison hulks that held prisoners during Napoleon Bonaparte's reign as Emperor. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those imprisoned on these floating fortresses. The somber atmosphere is palpable as we imagine the confinement and isolation experienced by countless individuals within these walls. Napoleon I himself was once held captive on one such hulk before being exiled to Saint Helena Island. His presence looms large over this image, symbolizing his fall from power and subsequent imprisonment. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history and explore not only the physical structures but also the emotions tied to them. It serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience amidst adversity and offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory.
