The image shows a photograph of the Times of Malta newspaper announcing and presenting the lecture on Ecclesiastical Heraldry delivered by Dr. Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. The lecture was highly interesting, and I was honoured that Dr. Charles A. Gauci included 28 illustrations of ecclesiastical heraldry that I had painted under his guidance. The illustration beneath the newspaper headline depicts the arms of Monsignor John Muscat, Commander of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, emblazoned by me, which I have included alongside the photograph for easier identification.
