Antique & Vintage Postcards

Hand-colored photographic postcard looking down from the Upper Barrakka Gardens over the Grand Harbour of Malta, with Royal Navy warships at anchor. Two large armored cruisers or pre-dreadnought battleships ride at moorings in the deep blue harbor, their rigging visible against the water; a sailing vessel lies alongside the quay in the foreground, and the fortified limestone bastions of Valletta extend along the left shore. The distant shore of the Three Cities is visible across the harbor.
