Nov 30 – Heritage Trust Publish 2016 Calendar

The Gibraltar Heritage Trust has announced the publication of the Gibraltar Heritage Calendar 2016.

The 20th edition of the popular calendar sees a return to the classic theme of historical views of Gibraltar.

The publication presents historical views from different angles and perspectives. Collected are views from the West, South, North and East, looking down from the top of the Rock, or in from the Harbour, across towards the Rock from the isthmus, and illustrations of special events and Royal visits. Although the views do not focus on people as such, the Trust says it is interesting to focus on those captured in these images, their uniforms, activities and appearance adding that “so much can be gleaned about Gibraltar’s past.”

Serene views of calm seas and Royal visits during peacetime contrast sharply with the hustle and bustle during times of conflict or attack. The calendar brings together a mix of media from lithographs, to watercolours, military engineering sketches, to oil paintings to digitally re-coloured prints.

The Calendar continues in its usual A4 size and comes with its own envelope, useful for those who may wish to send it abroad to friends and relatives. The Heritage Trust Calendar is the ideal Christmas gift - it lasts the whole year and once the year is out, the pictures can be framed as prints.

The Calendar is priced at £6 and is available from the Gibraltar Heritage Trust shop at the Main Guard in John Mackintosh Square or from local newsagents and bookshops. Copies can also be ordered online via the Trust’s website www.gibraltarheritagetrust.org.gi
