Comment by KEVIN CASHA on June 25, 2012 at 14:40: Thanks Marcel. In fact know all about those maltese photographers. Although I would be interested to see the one of Mrs Conroy as I have very little on her.

regarding th Ellis collection, that is one of the best and excellently catalogued collection available in Malta. It stretches back a lot and is of particular interest to those interested in pictures associated with the British services and navy in Malta.
