dc.description.abstractA cartographic curio which has a lot of philatelic interest has recently appeared on the market and is now in the collection of the author. The letter is written on the back of a carte a bordure map of Malta which was produced by one of the Brocktorffs, probably by Federico Brocktorff (1811-1877 or later). The earliest known carte a bordure or carte a figures map of Malta which was produced for the visitor market was issued by Luigi Brocktorff (1814-1857) in 1843. It was a detailed lithographic map of Malta, titled Map of Malta and its Dependencies, printed in black ink surrounded by 13 vignettes illustrating views and costumed figures. [excerpt]en_GB
