EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the picturesque village of Malpas in Cornwall. The view captured from the ferry landing point on Tregothnan side, St Michael Penkivel is nothing short of enchanting. As we gaze across the river at low tide, our eyes are drawn to an array of boats gently bobbing in the calm waters, while the charming houses of Malpas stand proudly in the background. The foreground showcases a weathered ferry landing ramp, hinting at a bustling hub of transport and communication that once thrived here. This image transports us to an era when creeks and rivers were vital lifelines for Cornish communities like Truro and Tresillian. It serves as a reminder of how waterways played an integral role in connecting people and facilitating trade. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan with great skill and artistry, this snapshot encapsulates both natural beauty and human ingenuity. The tranquil scene invites us to imagine ourselves stepping onto one of those boats or strolling along Malpas' quaint streets. As we admire this historical gem preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, let's appreciate its significance not only as a testament to Cornish heritage but also as a tribute to all those who relied on these waterways for their livelihoods.
