EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A view of the city of Malta on the side of the Cotonere" takes us back in time to the year 1750. The artist, Joseph Goupy, skillfully captures a panoramic scene that showcases the beauty and grandeur of Malta's capital city. The print depicts a bustling harbor filled with majestic ships sailing through crystal-clear waters. In the distance, we can see an imposing castle perched atop a hill, overlooking the entire city. This fortress stands as a symbol of strength and protection for its inhabitants. As our eyes wander across this detailed artwork, we notice intricate fortifications surrounding the city walls. These strong defenses were built by none other than the Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of St John. Their presence is felt throughout this picturesque landscape. The charm and allure of this Mediterranean island are further enhanced by its charming bridges connecting different parts of town. The architecture reflects both European influences and traditional Maltese style. With every glance at this enchanting engraving, one cannot help but marvel at how history has shaped this remarkable place. It serves as a reminder not only of Malta's rich past but also its enduring beauty that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
