Plan of Valletta and its Harbours
An uncommon folding map of Valletta, Malta, published by a local Maltese mapmaker in the 1840s. An index in the lower-left corner lists 41 places of interest, including palaces, historic churches, post offices, hotels, and gardens. The city is laid out in great detail and with excellent precision.
Luigi Brocktorff was the son of the German-born artist, Charles Frederick de Brocktorff, best known for his fine watercolour views of Malta. After serving in the Hanoverian army during the Napoleonic Wars, Brocktorff moved first to the United Kingdom and then to Malta, where he established a studio. His work was lauded for its precision, and now serves as a vital record of island life in the early 1800s. Charles Frederick's two sons, Luigi and Giovanni, also established themselves in the art world, publishing lithographs and maps as late as the 1870s. Their customers were primarily local residents and British Army or colonial officers posted to Malta.
