EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tour of the Colonies - Water, Carnival, Malta," transports us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the picturesque harbor of Malta. The image is a breathtaking representation of the island nation's rich maritime history and vibrant carnival celebrations. Malta, officially known as the Republic of Malta, is a Southern European island country located in the Mediterranean Sea. It lies south of Italy, east of Tunisia, and north of Libya. In this photograph, we see a bustling harbor filled with a multitude of tiny ships, surrounded by large, intricately designed animal figures. These figures, likely part of a carnival procession, add a whimsical and festive touch to the scene. Malta's strategic location in the Mediterranean made it a valuable prize for various European powers throughout history. The island was ruled by the British from 1814 to 1964, and the influence of this colonial past is evident in the photograph's title. However, the Maltese people have maintained their unique cultural identity, as evidenced by the lively carnival celebrations depicted in the image. This photograph, part of the Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into Malta's rich history and vibrant traditions. It is a reminder of the island's enduring connection to the sea and its proud cultural heritage.
