EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and charm of Scesa Marina in Valletta, Malta during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. Scesa Marina, or the Marina Staircase, is a grand stairway that leads from the Upper Barrakka Gardens to the Marsamxett Harbour in Valletta. The staircase has been a popular tourist attraction since the 16th century, offering visitors a breathtaking view of the harbour and the surrounding Mediterranean landscape. In this photograph, we see the staircase adorned with colorful umbrellas and lined with people, both locals and tourists, taking in the stunning view. The harbor is bustling with activity, with boats of various sizes and shapes bobbing gently on the water. In the background, the majestic fortifications of Valletta stand tall, a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The photograph's muted colors and soft focus add to its dreamlike quality, creating a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The natural beauty of the scene is enhanced by the human element, with people going about their daily lives, adding a touch of warmth and liveliness to the image. This photograph is a precious reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Malta during the 1910s. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of the natural world, while also serving as a reminder of the enduring allure of travel and exploration.
