EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us on a visual journey through life in Malta during the late 19th century. The collection of sketches showcases various aspects of Maltese culture and traditions, offering a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of everyday life on this Mediterranean island. The first sketch depicts a bustling Maltese Grog-Shop, where locals gather to socialize and enjoy their favorite libations. In contrast, the second sketch transports us to the grandeur of the Governor's Palace, highlighting its centerpiece - The Grand Masters Clock - an exquisite timepiece that stands as a symbol of power and authority. Moving forward, we witness "Jack" spending his hard-earned money ashore in another lively scene. Meanwhile, a religious procession on a Saint's Day demonstrates the deep-rooted faith and devotion prevalent among the Maltese people. The collection also includes intriguing glimpses into unique customs such as collecting alms for masses dedicated to condemned criminals' souls and Carnival Time festivities featuring mummers performing burial ceremonies without coffins. Other sketches portray heartwarming scenes like "The Home for Lost Dogs" showcasing compassion towards animals, while Dghasia offers insight into traditional native ferry boats used for transportation across Malta's waters. Through these meticulously engraved images dating back to 1882, we are transported back in time to experience Malta's rich history and cultural heritage. Each sketch captures moments frozen in time with remarkable illustrative techniques that evoke nostalgia for bygone eras. This vintage collection is truly an artistic treasure trove that invites viewers to explore Malta's past through its vivid imagery.
