EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century photograph, we are transported back in time to the bustling heart of Valletta, Malta, where V Marich & Co, Tobacconists, proudly displayed their business card. Established in 1838, this esteemed company held the coveted title of "By Royal Appointment," a testament to their long-standing relationship with the Maltese monarchy. The card, adorned with an elegant sepia tone, bears the distinctive logo of the company, featuring a tobacco leaf encircled by the inscription "V Marich & Co, Tobacconists." The address, "44 Palace Square," is prominently displayed, inviting patrons to visit their storefront nestled in the grandiose square of Valletta. The tobacco trade was a significant industry in Malta during the 19th century, with the island serving as a vital hub for the Mediterranean tobacco market. V Marich & Co, Tobacconists, would have catered to a diverse clientele, offering an array of tobacco products, from high-quality smoking pipes and cigars to loose tobacco for traditional Maltese hookah pipes. The business card, now a historical artifact, serves as a tangible link to the rich commercial history of Valletta and Malta. It tells a story of the Marich family's entrepreneurial spirit and their role in the tobacco trade during a time when Malta was a British protectorate. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of V Marich & Co, Tobacconists, and the pivotal role they played in Maltese business and industry.
