The Perry Real Estate Magazine, out tomorrow with The Sunday Times of Malta, features on its front cover the caricature of Sir George Bowyer by Sir Leslie Ward, a lithograph first published in Vanity Fair in 1879.

Sir George was a seventh baronet, a British barrister, a Liberal politician and MP between 1811 and 1883. He was also a Knight of Malta.

In 1864, he presented a petition by the Maltese calling for a reform in the Constitution. Bowyer House in Tarxien was named after him by Marquis Lawrence Cassar Desain in 1883.
