Nostalgias of Malta: Images...

Description

Judge Bonello in his introduction states: “I find it intriguing that some of Vella Gera’s best creations he left unpublished. I was fortunate enough to be given access to his archives by his sons, and allowed to reproduce photographs he never thought of sharing with the public during his lifetime. One wonders why. Probably because some images he shot for his personal gratification, without an eye on how marketable the image would be, while others he may have recorded to replenish his stocks for future use. Whatever the reason for such discreet self-censorship, there is another Vella Gera between the covers of his personal albums, which I am, in part, attempting to publicise in this book. A large number of his glass plate negatives have survived.”
