of photographs taken by artists, mainly Maltese but also some foreigners as is the case of this volume, who recorded the appearance of the landscapes and seascapes of the Maltese Islands and, to a smaller extent, that of the people who inhabited them in the late nineteenth century and in the first half of the last century. Handsomely bound and elegantly designed like its predecessors, Nostalgias of Malta - Images by Modiano from the 1900s, should serve as a useful as a work of reference.
Vanishing Valletta David Pisani
edited by Timmy Gambin
‘Vanishing Valletta’ is a photographic rendering of Valletta by David Pisani who took up photography at a very early age. David Pisani’s photography is closely linked to his passion for architecture and design, a quest for beauty and order that are a trademark of his work. Specialising in fine art black and white silver printing he has pursued a relentless search for the deepest expression of empathy with his subject, pushing the limits of the dictum that photography should not reproduce what is visible but make visible the invisible. Pisani’s work on Valletta spans a nineteen year period.

This is the sixth book in the series of ‘Nostalgias’. In the introduction to this book, the author describes his journey while doing research on this photographer: “I find it intriguing that some of Vella Gera’s best creations he left unpublished.
