Description
The third in Giovanni Bonello’s series of albums of photographs depicting the Maltese Islands and their people in the past. The Events section records moments of King Edward VII’s visits to Malta and other events, but the most dramatic image is that of the SS Sardinia on fire ashore in 1908. In the Miscellaneous section, the images of the Maltese sculptor Sciortino’s Great Siege and Christ the King monuments taken soon after their unveiling are of historical importance. Hardback.
