EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases Ascension Island, a British Naval Station located in the vast South Atlantic Ocean. The print captures the island's diverse topography and various architectural structures that were integral to its functioning. From the entrance gate to the factory, green mountain, turtle ponds, and home gardens, every element of this naval station is depicted with meticulous detail. The image also provides a general view of Ascension Island, allowing viewers to appreciate its natural beauty and unique landscape. The stables and mountain hospital stand as testaments to the island's self-sufficiency and ability to sustain itself even in remote locations. Notably featured are cemeteries that serve as solemn reminders of those who served on this isolated outpost. Additionally, we catch a glimpse of the royal naval hospital nestled amidst Green Mountain Cemetery. The road winding through Bung Hole Square leads us towards Elliot's Pass while showcasing stunning hillside views along the way. This historical engraving offers an intriguing insight into life on Ascension Island during this era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from their private collection for all enthusiasts of history and maritime exploration to enjoy. It serves as a testament not only to human ingenuity but also highlights our relentless pursuit of establishing outposts across vast oceans for strategic purposes.
