EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print captures the beauty and intrigue of Saint Helena island, a place steeped in history and mystery. The island, belonging to the East India Company at the time, was famously known as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile until his death in 1821. The image, created by an anonymous artist after a work by Jan Van Ryne, showcases the tropical paradise with its vibrant colors and picturesque seascape.
The engraving transports us back to a time when exploration and maritime adventures were at their peak. The ships dotting the horizon add a sense of movement and life to the tranquil scene. The lush greenery of the island contrasts beautifully with the deep blue waters surrounding it, creating a truly mesmerizing composition.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we can't help but be captivated by the charm and allure of Saint Helena island. It serves as a reminder of days gone by when discovery and adventure were synonymous with sailing across uncharted waters. This print is not just a visual representation of an exotic location; it is a window into another era filled with wonder and possibility.
