"Vittorio Boron (1859 - 1940), Illustrator of Malta - Vittorio Boron was born in Turin in 1859. He was the son of a judge and a lawyer by profession but he never worked as a lawyer. Instead he travelled and spent his time writing and painting. A number of his paintings of Malta were used to illustrate Frederick W. Ryan's first book "Malta - painted by Vittorio Boron - described by Frederick W. Ryan". The book was published in 1910 in London, and contains 20 of Boron's plates in full colour ( ALL PRESENT + FOLDING MAP ). Nothing is known about how Ryan and Boron came together to give rise to this very interesting publication."
