"Knights Hospitalers: Guardians of the Sick and Defenders of Faith" Step back in time to Puerta Del Sol, Toledo, 1890. An unknown creator captures a glimpse into the world of the Knights Hospitalers, an ancient order dedicated to serving humanity. From Malta, depicted in Flags of All Nations, Series 2 (N10) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, we witness their noble presence. These knights stood strong within the walls of Jerusalem's Enceinte de l'Hopital des Chevaliers-de-Saint-Jean on its southern coast. Alof de Wignacourt emerges from history's shadows in an early 17th-century portrait by an unknown artist. This depiction showcases his commitment as Grand Master to this esteemed order. The artistic prowess continues with Bembo's captivating portrayal from 1470-1547. In this piece created in 1830 by another anonymous artist, we catch a glimpse into the chivalrous spirit that defined these knights. Even Queen Victoria recognized their valor when she hosted her Bal Costume in May 1842. A guest dons a knightly costume fit for royalty while paying homage to these brave defenders. Traveling across continents brings us to Cyprus and its majestic Castle of Kolossi near Limassol. From balconies overlooking breathtaking landscapes to exploring its great keep dating back centuries - remnants stand testament to the Knights' enduring legacy. Venturing further south takes us inside St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta - a sanctuary adorned with intricate beauty where these valiant warriors once sought solace amidst their battles against adversity. And finally, Rhodes beckons with its timeless allure captured through artistry dating back centuries. The old town whispers tales of heroic deeds performed by those who proudly wore the emblematic cross upon their chests.
