The image shows a display panel with historical information about the workforce in Valletta, Malta. The panel features text in English and Maltese, accompanied by black and white illustrations and photographs. The English text discusses the size and categories of the workforce, including skilled craftsmen and unskilled labourers, and their payment methods. It also mentions the obligation of forced labour and the importation of workers from Sicily. The Maltese text appears to be a translation or a parallel account. The photographs depict workers engaged in construction, possibly handling large stone blocks. The illustrations show scenes of building and labor, including figures working with tools and carrying materials. The display panel is framed in wood and is positioned against a wall constructed of rough-hewn yellow stone blocks. A bright, adjustable spotlight is mounted on the wall above the panel, illuminating the exhibit. The floor beneath the display is paved with flagstones. The overall impression is of an exhibit within a museum or historical site, detailing the monumental construction efforts undertaken in Valletta.
