A nostalgic photo posted in the Facebook group 'Malta - Past & Present' takes us back to the early 1910s, capturing a serene moment of rural life. The image features a young boy leading a flock of sheep, a common sight in Malta during that era but not so common today!

The black-and-white photograph exudes simplicity and charm, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle that was prevalent in Malta over a century ago. The boy, likely from a local farming family, stands confidently as he guides the sheep, highlighting the responsibility and work ethic instilled in children from a young age.

This snapshot provides a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of Malta’s past, reminding us of the island's rich agricultural heritage.

Such photos are invaluable, offering a window into the history and culture that have shaped Malta into what it is today.
