BELLASIS (GEORGE HUTCHINS)
Footnotes
Provenance:
Joseph Rogers of Philadelphia, ink inscription on verso of each plate
Bellasis' fine aquatint views of St. Helena, dedicated to Wellington, and issued shortly after Napoleon's arrival on the island: "at this time an object of interest to the whole world" (Dedication). The surgeon to whom Bellasis inscribes his work could be Robert Wilson (1787-1871), who in the 1820s became a close personal friend of Princess Pauline Borghese, née Bonaparte, the younger sister of Napoleon. Four Wilsons are listed as subscribers, but none with the title Dr. which appears for other subscribers.
