EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the quaint village of Malpas, Cornwall, with this print from around 1890. The image captures a picturesque view of terraced houses that line the west side of Malpas Ferry, exuding an old-world charm that transports you to a bygone era. On the left side of the frame, we glimpse a Free House and Tea Rooms, inviting passersby to indulge in refreshments amidst their daily routines. The architectural details of these buildings reflect the unique Cornish style prevalent during that period. As our eyes wander further into the scene, we notice a solitary figure strolling up the road from the creek. This man becomes part of this frozen moment in time—a reminder of human presence amidst nature's beauty. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only physical structures but also emotions and stories within his lens. His composition allows us to appreciate both land and water elements harmoniously coexisting along Tresillian River's tranquil banks. This evocative photograph offers glimpses into everyday life in historic Truro while showcasing its close connection with Fal estuary's serene waters. It serves as a testament to how transport and trade were intricately linked with rivers like Creek—lifelines for communities nestled along their shores. With each glance at this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, immerse yourself in nostalgia and marvel at how much has changed since those days while cherishing timeless moments captured through photography.
