Set the scene.
Apap produced an album of drawings during the Conspiracy Trial in 1947, after the Second World War. Court proceedings could enter artistic records as well as written reports.
Here’s the twist.
Heritage Malta later displayed the album alongside his paintings and drawings in a dedicated exhibition. Such displays can bring works usually kept in storage into view.
Why it still matters.
Treat an artist’s courtroom image as a viewpoint, rather than a complete transcript. What did the artist choose to show, and what would a written record tell you differently?
