BELLASIS, George Hutchins (1778-1822)
St Helena, taken from Sea.

St Helena, taken from Sea.

VIEW No. I.

View No. I. is taken from the north-west side of the Island, about eight miles from the land. At this distance it appears entirely without trees, shrubs, or even verdure, and is like a huge castle, its heights towering to the clouds, and the stupendous cliffs of the fore-ground overhanging the ocean.
