EDITORS COMMENTS
The 'Maltese Cross' Hotel, Spezia; The Gulf of Spezia, 1875, is an enchanting photograph that captures the picturesque coastal town of Spezia in Italy during the 1870s. The image is taken from 'Illustrated Travels' by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph showcases the elegant 'Maltese Cross' Hotel, which stands proudly on the waterfront, boasting a unique and distinctive design. The hotel's name is derived from the Maltese Cross emblem, which is prominently displayed on the building's facade. The cross, a symbol of the Knights of Malta, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. The Gulf of Spezia, a beautiful and tranquil body of water, stretches out before the hotel, dotted with boats and small fishing vessels. The jetty, which extends into the gulf, adds a sense of activity and movement to the scene. The boats, with their sails billowing in the wind, add a touch of color to the otherwise monochrome image. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills, lush vegetation, and quaint buildings, which blend seamlessly into the natural beauty of the coastline. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of leisurely travel and scenic vistas. The 'Maltese Cross' Hotel, Spezia; The Gulf of Spezia, 1875, is a captivating reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Italy, and a testament to the enduring allure of its coastal towns and resorts.
