Publications Publications Thursday, January 16, 2020 by Neil Grover   Publication News COUSIS CIGARETTE CARDS – H.M. SHIPS at MALTA Malta Study Paper 59 ISBN : 978-1-9163085-1-0 This new MSC book (of 62 pages) describes and illustrates Royal Navy ships photographed by Richard Ellis, perhaps Malta's best early photographer. An alphabetical list analyses cards by the type of inscription and the type of frame. 457 different ships are referenced. The photographs appear to have been taken between about 1890 and 1910. The book is thought to be the most comprehensive illustrated catalogue of these cards ever produced. The illustrations provide a fascinating insight into the history of the Royal Navy in Malta. They show the changing designs and the transition between wooden hull sailing ships to ironclad vessels. Enquires See Flyer for Prices..
