EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically around 1910, capturing a serene moment at the mouth of the River Lerryn in Fowey, Cornwall. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is none other than Arthur William Jordan. In this picturesque scene, we see a cluster of small craft gracefully navigating the tranquil waters. Their sails billow gently in the breeze as they glide along with effortless elegance. Amongst them stands an unidentified steam yacht, its presence adding a touch of grandeur to this idyllic setting. The charm of Cornwall shines through every element within this photograph. The rugged beauty of the Cornish coastline frames the river mouth perfectly, while rowing boats dotting the water add a sense of liveliness and activity to an otherwise peaceful scene. Arthur William Jordan's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this bygone era. We can almost feel ourselves transported back in time as we imagine what life must have been like during those days when these small crafts were essential means of transportation and leisurely exploration. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as both a historical document and a work of art that encapsulates the essence and allure of coastal life in Cornwall over a century ago. It reminds us how nature's beauty intertwines seamlessly with human endeavors on these shores - forever preserving their timeless appeal for generations to come.
