A Visit to the Island of St. Helena - 'Longwood,' The House Where Napoleon Died, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing black-and-white photograph that offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this remote British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1890, captures the exterior of Longwood House, where the famous French military and political leader, Napoleon Bonaparte, spent his final days in exile. Napoleon, who rose to power as the First Consul of France and later became the Emperor of France, was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and was exiled to St. Helena, a small volcanic island located between Africa and South America, as part of his imprisonment. Longwood House, built in the late 18th century, served as his residence from 1815 until his death in 1821. The photograph reveals the grandeur of the house, with its symmetrical facade, tall columns, and sprawling grounds. A group of people can be seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and context to the image. The image also highlights the isolation of St. Helena, as the island's rugged terrain and barren landscape can be seen in the background. The photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with Napoleon Bonaparte and his legacy. It serves as a reminder of the historical significance of St. Helena as a place of imperial power and exile, and the role it played in shaping global history. The image, though anonymous, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those interested in the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte, or the British Empire.
