About the Book
The book includes over 90 miniature maps of Malta and Gozo, plans of Valletta and the Three Cities ranging between the 16th and early 20th century. The majority of these miniature maps have been carefully selected from the exclusive Albert Ganado Malta Map Collection that the National Museum of Fine Arts, Heritage Malta, has proudly owned since July 2008. A number of others come from the Malta Maritime Museum, Heritage Malta, and private collections. Included also are 19 books from the Albert Ganado Melitensia Collection that show miniature maps and plans of Malta and Valletta in their original function as illustrations to text.
