Turgis in Paris. Size (view): 31,5 x 48 cm<\/p>\n<p>From 1814 (until 1964) Malta was an important part of the British Empire, a strategic stronghold in the region and a stepping stone for Britain&#8217;s expansion to the East. It was turned into the main base for the Royal Navy&#8217;s Mediterranean Fleet, and allowed the entire fleet to be safely moored there.<\/p>\n<p>On this lively view British merchant ships lie amidst local boats transporting goods to and from the Maltese islands. The British have steam powered sailing vessels, screw-propelled, that had come into use in the 1840s. The industrial revolution has created smoky, dangerous transitional boats that ultimately became all steam and built of steel.<\/p>\n<p>As a surgeon in the French navy, Louis Lebreton (1818-1866) embarked on long seafaring expeditions, including Jules Dumont d&#8217;Urville&#8217;s expedition to Antarctica aboard the Astrolabe. This gave Lebreton the opportunity to bring back drawings and watercolours depicting landscapes discovered. He exhibited in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salon_(Paris)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Salon de Paris<\/em> <\/a>from 1841 to 1848.
