EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage photograph, titled 'View of the Hospital and Harbour, Malta,' transports us back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a breathtaking panorama of the Grand Harbour in Malta, with its vibrant blue waters, bustling ships, and the imposing silhouette of Fort St. Elmo in the background. Nestled amidst the picturesque scene is the St. Luke's Hospital, a prominent feature of the Maltese landscape since the 16th century. The hospital, which can be seen in the foreground, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Malta. Its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls stand out against the azure backdrop, offering a glimpse into the past. The photograph, which is part of a traveller's album, is an albumen print. Albumen prints were a popular method of photographic reproduction during the 19th century, known for their ability to produce high-quality, detailed images. The traveller, who likely visited Malta during this period, meticulously collected and preserved this photograph as a cherished memory of their journey. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the bustling harbour, as well as the daily life of the hospital patients and staff. It serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into a time when travel was an adventure, and photography was a means of preserving memories and experiences.
