EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Valletta, Malta's Grand Harbour from the Barrakka lift in 1923. The image transports us back in time to the 1920s, an era of British colonial rule and the Mediterranean's rich maritime history. The Grand Harbour, a natural deep-water harbour, has been a strategic military and commercial hub for centuries. In this photograph, we see a number of vessels of the Royal Navy Mediterranean fleet moored in the harbour. The Barrakka lift, which links the Grand Harbour to the Upper Barrakka Gardens and Valletta city centre, adds a sense of connection between the bustling harbour and the historic city. The grandeur of the British naval fleet, with its tall masts and sails, contrasts beautifully with the rugged Maltese coastline and the colorful buildings of Valletta in the background. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Malta's maritime heritage and its connection to the wider world during a time of British colonial rule.
