EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'St Helena: general view of the island from the sea' by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of St Helena Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, as it appeared around 1750. The print, held by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the island's rugged terrain, lush greenery, and the distinctive shape of its volcanic cone, which rises majestically from the azure waters. St Helena, a remote and isolated island, has a unique place in history as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile from 1815 until his death in 1821. However, this print predates his famous residence on the island, offering a glimpse of the island before its association with the famous French emperor. The island's strategic location in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean made it an important stopover for ships traveling between Europe and the Americas. The print reflects the island's role as a vital port of call, with several vessels anchored in the harbor, waiting to resupply or take on passengers and cargo. Despite its isolated location, St Helena has a diverse and vibrant ecosystem, with a rich array of plant and animal life. The island's unique flora and fauna, including the endemic wirebird and the rare St Helena olive, can be seen in the foreground of the image, adding to the island's allure and intrigue. This beautiful and historic print invites us to explore the fascinating story of St Helena Island and its rich history, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the island's enduring allure and importance in the annals of maritime history.
