The eastern district of Valletta, Malta. The photographer is in the Upper Barracca Gardens looking north-east showing the Victoria Gate on the left. A line of flat-roofed commercial premises leads to the gate and signs on these buildings include Tobacco Merchant, The Union Jack, Civilian Suits to Order, Fw. Leonardi and London. A number of horse drawn carriages and motor vehicles are on Barriera (Quarry) Wharf and a few dghaisas are near the water's edge. Some of the houses have washing hung out to dry. The Lower Barracca Gardens, the Alexander Ball monument and the Ricasoli breakwater and lighthouse are in the background.
