Napoleon's Final Voyage: HMS Bellerophon on the Waters of Exile, 1872
About the Item
This original antique image is a print depicting the H.M.S. Bellerophon, a ship of the British Royal Navy. The print is rendered in a monochromatic color scheme with subtle hand coloring, which was a common technique in the 19th century to add visual interest and detail to prints. It shows the Bellerophon at sea, with all sails deployed, suggesting that it is underway and moving through the water. The sea is depicted with a sense of movement, indicating choppy waters or a brisk wind.
The print is detailed, showing rigging, masts, and the hull of the ship with precision, which would be of interest to those with a nautical inclination or historical interest in naval vessels. It includes the text "Published Aug'st 10 1872 by Griffin & Co Portsmouth," indicating that the print was produced by Griffin & Co in Portsmouth, a city with a rich naval history and home to one of the Royal Navy's main docks.
The H.M.S. Bellerophon played a significant role in the Napoleonic Wars and is famously known for having been the ship that received Napoleon Bonaparte after his surrender in 1815 before his exile to Saint Helena.
Given the date of publication, this print was likely produced as a commemorative piece, looking back on the history of the ship long after its notable service had ended. The subdued color palette and the rough seas evoke a sense of the historical gravitas and the storied past of the vessel.
