EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the stunning Royal Island, one of the Salut Islands off French Guiana. The print, created by an English School artist, provides a glimpse into this picturesque location that was featured in The Graphic on January 25,1890. The image captures various architectural marvels scattered across the island's landscape. A grand stone church stands tall amidst lush greenery, while nearby structures such as a lighthouse hospital and barracks add to the island's charm. A commanding signaling station can also be seen, highlighting its strategic importance. Royal Island is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance. It houses an observatory and monuments that pay homage to notable figures like Reverend J Perry and the Director of Commissariats. These elements contribute to its rich cultural heritage. The print beautifully portrays both natural beauty and man-made wonders found on this South American gem. Its topography is expertly depicted with attention to detail, showcasing Western Hemisphere architecture at its finest. As part of a private collection now held by Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn/Illustrated Papers Collection, this artwork serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of its creator and offers viewers a window into Royal Island's past glory.
