EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Malta, Valetta, from the Quarantine Harbour" transports us back to the bustling maritime scene of 19th-century Malta. Created by Samuel Read in 1854 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of Valetta's harbor. The image showcases a picturesque view of boats and ships navigating the tranquil waters. A tugboat gracefully glides through the harbor, its powerful engine propelling it forward with ease. The architecture of Valetta is prominently displayed in the background, with its grand buildings and fortifications standing proudly against the sky. Transportation plays a central role in this scene as various vessels dotting the harbor serve as means of transport for both goods and passengers. This snapshot captures an era when boats were vital lifelines connecting people across Europe. The charm of Maltese culture is evident in every detail - from traditional fishing boats bobbing gently on the water to locals going about their daily activities along the quayside. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, Malta was a melting pot of European influences within its shores. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate not only Read's artistic talent but also provides insight into historical transportation modes and architectural marvels that have shaped Malta's identity over time.
