EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-011159-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting streets of La Valletta, Malta. The image captures the magnificent façade of the Palace of the Library, a sight that exudes grandeur and history. Standing proudly beside it is the charming Café of the Queen, an inviting spot for locals and visitors alike. Taken between 1890 and 1910 by Sebastiano Ittar, a skilled artist of his time, this photograph showcases architectural elements that define this era. The street lamp illuminates the scene as if frozen in time, casting a warm glow on its surroundings. Urban life unfolds before our eyes with meticulously placed furnishings for civic spaces - chairs and tables arranged neatly outside the café. The intricate arches, balustrades, columns, windows adorned with delicate decorations transport us to another world. A sense of elegance permeates every corner captured within this frame. The attention to detail extends beyond architecture; even nature finds its place here – plants and vegetation gracefully complementing this urban landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable work by P. Z. , courtesy of Photoglob & Co. , we are reminded not only of Malta's rich heritage but also how art can immortalize moments from our past. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship while offering us a glimpse into daily life during XIX century Malta. Let yourself be transported back in time through this mesmerizing image – imagine strolling along these historic streets or sipping coffee at Café de la Reine under that very same street lamp.
