This work, on what was then surely the most remote outpost of the British Empire, was produced in 1815 in response to Napoleon's intended exile to the island and the newfound interest it generated; Plate 3 represents ""St. James's Town,"" and includes ""The Briars, the intended residence of Bonaparte."" Bellasis sketched scenes from the island when he spent 8 months there after being forced to disembark due to illness in November, 1804. Each view is accompanied by text leaf. With list of subscribers. Abbey I: 309. Tooley 87. Prideaux, 236.
