Description: This vintage Malta definitive postage stamp is rendered in a monochromatic brown ink and features a sprawling view of the historic Grand Harbour in Valletta. Intricately designed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd, the central vignette illustrates the fortified stone bastions lining the coastline while a traditional Maltese seafaring vessel glides across the water. The top border is heavily stylized with twin Maltese crosses flanking the territory name. In the upper right quadrant, an elegant, crowned "GRI" royal monogram pays homage to the reigning king, seamlessly balanced by the fractional value text "ONE FARTHING" stretched neatly across the bottom scrollwork.
