The Military in Malta (engraving)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the military prowess and cultural diversity of this Mediterranean island. The image, originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 13,1878, offers a glimpse into an era when Malta was under British rule. In this engraving by an anonymous English School artist, we see a vibrant scene filled with soldiers from various regiments engaging in military sports and exercises. The prominent figures include the Duke of Cambridge and other members of royalty who are observing the spectacle. The composition is teeming with action as soldiers demonstrate their skills with swords, Indian clubs, lances, single sticks, and even tent pegging while mounted on horses. This display highlights both the physical strength and strategic abilities required for warfare during that time. Notably present are native Indian troops alongside European forces like the 42nd Highlanders. Their inclusion emphasizes Malta's multicultural nature as well as its strategic importance within Europe. The backdrop showcases iconic landmarks such as the Governor's Palace and Main Guard building—symbols of power and authority. These architectural marvels serve as a reminder of Malta's historical significance within European politics. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also provides valuable insights into Maltese history at a crucial juncture when it was firmly entrenched within Britain's colonial empire.
