EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases a picturesque scene at Malpas Ferry in Cornwall. The image transports us back in time, capturing the essence of a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages and rowing boats were integral to daily life. In this particular moment frozen in history, we witness the loading of a horse and trap onto the Malpas Ferry on the tranquil river. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its depiction of traditional Cornish transport methods. The rowing boat, manned by skilled oarsmen, stands as a symbol of resilience and resourcefulness amidst nature's beauty. Truro's stunning waterway serves as an idyllic backdrop for this bustling scene, where locals would have relied on such transportation to navigate their way across. As we admire this snapshot from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it is important to appreciate how our ancestors ingeniously utilized their surroundings for practical purposes. This image encapsulates both the simplicity and ingenuity that characterized life during that period. While we are drawn into imagining ourselves immersed within this enchanting setting, it is worth noting that commercial use should not overshadow our appreciation for these historical artifacts. Instead, let us cherish them as windows into our past – reminders of simpler times and testaments to human adaptability against nature's challenges.
