EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration by Bombled Louis (1862-1927) from Count Emmanuel de Las Cases' renowned work, "The Memorial of Saint Helene" (1766-1842). The image depicts a significant moment in history as Napoleon Bonaparte examines the fortifications constructed by Governor Hudson Lowe (1769-1844) around Longwood on St. Helena Island. In this thought-provoking artwork, we witness Napoleon's exile and his keen interest in understanding the British construction site that surrounds him. The detailed engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historical event, with its depiction of laborers diligently working to build these fortifications under the watchful eye of their goalkeeper. The French habitat is juxtaposed against the backdrop of a foreign land, symbolizing Napoleon's displacement and longing for his homeland. The artist skillfully portrays the intricate handle instrument used in fortification construction, emphasizing both the great effort put into these defenses and their significance in maintaining control over Napoleon during his exile. As viewers delve into this remarkable piece, they are transported back to a pivotal era in French history. It serves as a visual testament to Napoleon's resilience amidst adversity and sheds light on the political dynamics between France and Britain at that time.
