Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

Original Narrative: The view which is here engraved, after Turner's drawing, is of La Valetta, the chief city of the island, remarkable for the prodigious strength of its fortifications, which present from the sea an appearance of unconquerable power. This island is identified with a series of historical and classical reminiscences, more certain and connected than those perhaps of any other known spot upon earth. Remains of the Celts and Phoenicians give evidence of their possession of Malta. Thucydides and Diodorus both mention it as a Phoenician colony. The Carthaginians left many monuments, and candelabra found here with Punic inscriptions are preserved in the museum of the palace of the grand master. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
