Description
An iconic map of Saint Helena Island, the place of Napoleon Bonaparte exile, by Leutenant R.P. Read, published in 1817. “This Geographical Plan of the Island & Forts of Saint Helena is Dedicated by permission to Field Marshal His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent and Strathearn, by Leutenant R.P. Read. London, Published for the Proprietor. June 4th 1817 by J & M Rippin, N21 Theobald’s Road.” This is a superb giclee reproduction of a painstakingly restored Georgian pictorial map of St. Helena Island, place of Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile, showing his residence and facsimile signatures.
Napoleon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a French emperor and military commander during the French Revolution. He was the leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804, and then an Emperor of the French Empire from 1804 to 1814, and briefly again in 1815. Saint Helena Island is considered one of the most remote island in the world. It was selected by British government as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile in 1815, after the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon’s second abdication on 22nd June 1815 and his final surrender to Captain Frederick Maitland on HMS Bellerophon on 15th July 1815. He was taken to St. Helena Island in October 1815 and stayed initially at the Briars pavilion on the grounds of the Balcombe family’s home, until his permament residence at Longwood House was completed in December 1815. He died there on 5th of May 1821. Napoleon is considered one of the greatest military commanders in history, and his campaigns are still studied at military schools worldwide.
This poster is a high quality “giclee” reproduction of a painstakingly restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints). This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.
IMPORTANT: If you are going to frame this print we recommend art paper 230gsm or canvas 320gsm. The 140gsm art paper option makes sense if you wish to DIY-frame or to tack the poster to a wall without framing, due to it being lighter and more flexible. All three options are giclee prints of the same high quality.
POSTER PRINT QUALITY
Please note that our reproduction posters are made to order and every print is checked before posting. The images we use in most cases are scans of antique originals, professionally restored in order to remove the most evident stains, folds, tears and other damage. We strive to balance the restoration and saving the overall integrity and antique appearance of the original. Our restored images are unique and these prints can be purchased only from www.VictorianMaps.com.
There will be no watermark on your image but there might be a white border depending on aspect ratio of the original. Please note that when a large antique original is reduced to a smaller size print some text may not be readable. Please check our measurements: every poster has its own aspect ratio same as original and printed exactly as pictured.
