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.

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.
