EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and dedication of a Maltese workman at St. Michael's Fireworks Factory in Lija during the 1960s. Lija, a picturesque town in Malta, is renowned for its spectacular firework displays, particularly during the early August festival period. The fireworks industry has been an integral part of Lija's history and economy for generations. In this image, the workman is deeply engrossed in his task, his lined forehead and furrowed brow testifying to the physical and mental effort required in the manufacture of these intricate pyrotechnic creations. He wears a white vest and a hat, typical attire for those working in the fireworks industry. The close-up perspective adds to the sense of intimacy and intensity, inviting us to contemplate the skill and craftsmanship involved in this traditional Maltese trade. The photograph transports us back to the 1960s, a time when the fireworks industry was still a predominantly manual process. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Lija and Malta, and the dedication of the men and women who have kept this ancient craft alive through the generations.
