Copy specific notes

This album dates to 1956 when Menzies visited Malta for a short 5-hour visit on his way to the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Conference in London. It was a place with a strong Australian connection stemming from both World Wars, as well as supplying migrants for our post war boom. The human interaction in all these pictures is both historically significant and surprisingly heartwarming. The lack of colour does nothing to extinguish the lustre of every image. Gazes are raised, eyes wide and smiles plenty with Menzies in frame.
