EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a picturesque scene of "The ferry, Flushing, Cornwall". Taken around 1910 by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image beautifully showcases the charm and tranquility of this Cornish village. In the foreground, we see a bustling stretch of water teeming with small boats. Among them is a rowboat gracefully gliding through the calm waters, manned by skilled oarsmen navigating their way towards an awaiting ferry. The ferry itself stands as the focal point of this snapshot; its sturdy structure exudes both reliability and adventure. As our gaze extends beyond the lively waterscape, we are greeted with a delightful view of Flushing's waterfront. Traditional Cornish houses line the shore, their whitewashed exteriors contrasting against nature's vibrant hues. The village seems to bask in serenity as it harmoniously blends into its coastal surroundings. Arthur William Jordan's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this timeless moment frozen in history. This print not only captures a mere glimpse into life at that time but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about what stories these streets could tell. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty found within everyday scenes from long ago.
