EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the awe-inspiring Walls of Mdina, Malta, as they stood in the late 1800s. The ancient fortifications, a testament to the rich history of the island nation, have long been a source of fascination and inspiration. In this image, the intricate stonework of the walls is accentuated by the play of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and texture. The photograph is believed to have been taken during the tenure of Sir Henry Baden-Powell, the British Governor of Malta from 1872 to 1877. Sir Baden-Powell is most famously known as the founder of the Scout Movement, but his time in Malta also saw significant improvements to the island's infrastructure and cultural institutions. It is believed that during his governorship, he may have been involved in the upkeep and preservation of the historic walls of Mdina. This photograph holds special significance for the Scouting community, as Sir Baden-Powell drew inspiration from his experiences in Malta when developing the Scout Movement. The association between the walls of Mdina and the Scouts can be seen in the use of the emblem of the Maltese Cross, which represents the five virtues of Scouting: obedience, reverence, trustworthiness, kindness, and bravery. The photograph also bears the signature of an unknown photographer, identified only as "J. Powell," adding to its intrigue and historical value. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the 1870s and the enchanting walls of Mdina, Malta.
