This print captures a timeless scene from the quaint village of Bodinnick in Cornwall, taken in 1925. The view showcases the picturesque river as it stretches out from Fowey towards Bodinnick, with the ferry gracefully making its way towards the landing. As you gaze at this snapshot of history, cars and people can be seen aboard the ferry, adding a sense of bustling activity to the tranquil waters.
