| Abstract: | The article discusses the first two states of a four-part map series of the 1565 Great Siege of Malta, published in Venice by Giovanni Francesco Camocio. It explains how these maps functioned as news bulletins produced rapidly from a single copper plate, detailing the military developments around Grand Harbour, including troop positions, the assault on Senglea, and naval movements. |
