EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque view of Malpas Ferry landing and the charming houses on the Tregothnan side in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The photographer remains unknown, but their skillful composition transports us to an era long gone. The scene showcases a slice of Edwardian life in this idyllic Cornish village. Nestled along the tranquil River Fal, we witness the bustling water transport that was vital for locals and visitors alike. A small boat gracefully glides across the river, serving as a lifeline connecting communities and facilitating trade. Our attention is drawn towards two prominent structures within this quaint landscape - Ferryside Cottage and the Ferry House. These historic buildings exude character with their traditional architecture and rustic charm. They stand as silent witnesses to countless stories that unfolded on these shores throughout history. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from yesteryears, it's impossible not to be captivated by the serene beauty surrounding Malpas Ferry landing. The calm waters reflect vibrant hues of blue sky above while lush green foliage frames this peaceful riverside setting. This print serves as a window into a simpler time when river transport played an integral role in daily life. It invites us to appreciate both the natural splendor of Cornwall's landscapes and its rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive today.
