A view of shops with anti-British and pro-Independence signs, possibly on Kings Street, Valletta, Malta.
Anti-imperialist banners hang above a main street, probably King Street, in Malta’s capital. Below it, a parade of shops sells British newspapers, Maltese souvenirs and dresses to shoppers of both nationalities.
Malta gained independence from Britain in 1964. King Street was renamed Republic Street in 1974, when the island became a republic.
