1820 Atlantic Helena Hill Top Jamestown Buonaparte
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historical significance of Saint Helena, specifically showcasing the entrance to the harbour at Jamestown. In the center of the image, we see the residence of General Buonaparte perched on a hilltop just beyond the Governor's house. The scene is filled with rich history and intrigue, as this island in the Atlantic Ocean has been witness to many important events throughout time.
The composition of this photograph perfectly highlights the contrast between land and sea, with ships dotting the harbor while lush greenery surrounds the buildings on shore. The architectural details of both General Buonaparte's residence and the Governor's house are striking, giving us a glimpse into what life may have been like in 1820 when this image was captured.
Saint Helena is known for its role in world history, particularly as a place of exile for notable figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte. This print serves as a reminder of that legacy, transporting us back in time to an era when this remote island played a significant part on the global stage.
Overall, Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured not just a moment in time but also a sense of place and importance with this photo print. It is truly a work of art that allows us to appreciate and reflect upon Saint Helena's unique historical significance.
