This engraving takes us on a visual journey to the Island of St Helena in the 19th century. The print, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the historical significance and natural beauty of this remote island. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the exiled Zulu chiefs, who stand tall and proud amidst their surroundings. Their presence symbolizes both the cultural diversity found on St Helena and its role as a place of exile for notable figures throughout history. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to various landmarks scattered across the island. Ladder Hill stands prominently in the background, leading up to Rosemary Hall with its grandeur evident even from afar. Plantation House, once a residence for influential individuals, adds another layer of intrigue to this scene. Moving along a side path towards Jamestown, we catch glimpses of life on St Helena - from bustling garrisons to quaint houses nestled amongst lush greenery. Our gaze then shifts towards Napoleon's tomb at Longwood; a reminder that even in exile, his legacy lives on. Finally, our attention turns towards Governor's Residence and Signal Station situated in North St Helena. These structures serve as reminders of colonial influence and communication systems employed during that era. Through this enchanting engraving captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand A Visit to the Island of St Helena - an experience filled with history, nature's wonders, and
