Description

View of Valletta, Malta with storm clouds over the city. Painted by George Lambert in late January 1919, when the Australian Historical Mission rested three days in Malta.

Lambert wrote on 2 February, en route to Lemnos: "The wicked sea we suffered on our voyage from Taranto to Malta evidently gave 'The Mission' its sea legs...".
