MALTA IN BRITISH AND FRENCH
CARICATURE (1798-1815)
This publication, a corpus of Napoleonic caricatures on a single theme - Malta -
reflects the obsession of the major powers for the acquisition of the Island
because of its special position and strategic value during the Napoleonic Wars.
The historical notes trace the natural progress for Maltese national identity
and relate, within a concise historical framework, the difficulties encountered
by the island's leaders to assert their rights for self-determination.
176 pages, fully illustrated in color.
