This engraving captures a significant moment during the Eastern Crisis of 1897. The image showcases the departure of the Seaforth Highlanders from Malta to Crete, as they march into Valetta after being inspected by the Governor of Malta. This ceremonial event holds great historical importance, symbolizing military support in response to the Cretan revolts. The composition exudes grandeur and unity as rows of kilted soldiers proudly make their way through Valetta's streets. Their disciplined formation reflects their readiness for duty and commitment to maintaining peace in troubled times. The presence of high-ranking officials adds an air of authority and solemnity to the scene. The engraving not only highlights this specific moment but also serves as a testament to European solidarity during times of crisis. As Greece faced internal turmoil, nations like Britain demonstrated their support by sending troops abroad. The Seaforth Highlanders' departure signifies both military strength and diplomatic cooperation between countries.
