EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant street scene in Valletta, Malta, circa 1908. The image showcases a bustling thoroughfare filled with a diverse array of buildings, each with their unique character and charm. The grand archway of Strada Theatre stands proudly at the center, its ornate design a testament to the city's rich history. Surrounding the theatre are English bazaars and various shops, their colorful signs and shutters adding to the visual appeal of the scene. The sunblinds, or zarb, of some shops are drawn closed, providing a contrast to the bright sunlight filtering through the open windows and doors of others. Two men, one wearing a fez and the other a hat, engage in conversation on the left side of the street. A woman, dressed in traditional Maltese attire, walks along the cobblestones, her shadow cast long by the afternoon sun. A horse-drawn cart, laden with goods, makes its way through the crowd, adding to the sense of hustle and bustle. The buildings on either side of the street, with their intricate facades and ornate details, are a testament to the architectural beauty of Valletta. Notable structures include the buildings of Zammit, Emanuel, Debono, and Francis, their names inscribed on the signs above their entrances. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the streets of Valletta over a century ago. It is a reminder of the city's rich history and the vibrant, bustling atmosphere that continues to draw visitors from around the world.
