Saint Helena 插畫檔

"Vintage engraving from 1878 showing a view of Saint Helena an island of volcanic origin in the South Atlantic Ocean. The island was uninhabited when discovered by the Portuguese in 1502. It is one of the most isolated islands in the world. For centuries, it was an important stopover for ships sailing to Europe from Asia and South Africa. The British also used the island as a place of exile, most notably for Napoleon I, Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo and more than 5,000 Boer prisoners."
