EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, showcases the breathtaking beauty and rich history of Comino, one of the Maltese islands in the Mediterranean Sea. The image presents the iconic perpendicular cliffs of the island, a natural wonder that has long attracted visitors from around the world. The rugged cliffs, with their towering heights and dramatic drops into the crystal-clear waters, offer a stunning contrast to the tranquil blue sea below. Comino, located between Malta and Gozo, has been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of human presence dating back to the Phoenicians, Romans, and Arabs. The island's strategic location made it a prized possession throughout history, with the Knights of St. John occupying it during the 16th to 18th centuries. Despite its small size, Comino boasts a diverse natural environment, with numerous caves, crystal-clear waters, and a variety of plant and animal species. The island's most famous landmark, the Blue Lagoon, is a popular tourist destination, known for its turquoise waters and powdery white sand. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the enduring allure of Comino's natural beauty. The perpendicular cliffs, with their timeless quality, serve as a reminder of the island's rich history and the passing of time. This image is an essential addition to any collection of historical photographs of the Mediterranean and a testament to the lasting appeal of the Maltese islands.
