EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Character Sketches at Malta" takes us back to 19th century Europe, specifically the enchanting island of Malta. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant characters that inhabited this old Maltese city. In this snapshot of life in Malta, we are introduced to a plethora of intriguing individuals. From the fat and jolly preserved Capuchin friar to the young Maltese cabby with his traditional dress and faldette, each character tells their own unique story. The image captures them in various positions along Strada Reale, showcasing their distinct personalities. The composition also includes common objects that add depth and authenticity to the scene. A four-wheeler carriage known as a Maltese cabby stands prominently in the foreground while other elements such as sweet seventeen girls and forty-year-old locals further enrich the narrative. Preserved within this private collection, these character sketches offer us a rare glimpse into everyday life on this historic Mediterranean island. Through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, we can almost transport ourselves back in time to experience firsthand what it was like to walk through those bustling streets. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document - reminding us of our shared European heritage while celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our continent today.
