EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a picturesque scene of Malpas Ferry at Tregothnan landing in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The year is estimated to be around 1887, and the image showcases a view of the Tregothnan landing place with charming houses lining the top. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are introduced to some key figures who bring life and character to the composition. On the far left stands Mr Allen, the ferryman himself, accompanied by his young daughter Laura, aged 7. A little boy named William Allen can also be seen on board alongside another man who is likely a ferry hand. On shore, our attention is drawn towards a milkman maneuvering his horse-drawn milk cart filled with churns. This glimpse into daily life highlights not only transportation methods but also tradesmen going about their business along this bustling river. Adding an extra touch of maritime charm to this already enchanting scene is an old sailing ship moored gracefully in the river's gentle currents. The photographer behind this remarkable piece of history was Argall - most probably Frederick Ernest Argall - whose keen eye captured these moments for future generations to appreciate and admire. As we explore this mesmerizing print from Royal Cornwall Museum archives, we are transported back in time and reminded of simpler days when rivers were highways and boats were lifelines connecting communities like Truro and Penkevil.
