EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the timeless beauty of Malpas Village, this stunning print transports us back to the enchanting Cornwall of 1890. From a vantage point above the Ferry House and Ferryside Cottage on the Tregothnan landing side in St Michael Penkivel, we are treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of this idyllic riverside community. In this scene, a man sits peacefully on the lush green grass in the foreground, his gaze fixed upon the tranquil creek below. The serenity of the moment is palpable as he contemplates life amidst nature's splendor. The photographer, Arthur William Jordan, skillfully captures not only Malpas' picturesque charm but also its close relationship with water transport. The river Fal meanders gracefully through this quaint village, serving as a vital artery for trade and travel. A fleet of boats can be seen dotting its shimmering surface; their presence symbolizes both livelihood and leisure for locals who rely on these vessels for their daily needs or simply seek solace in exploring Cornwall's hidden gems. This evocative image from Royal Cornwall Museum invites us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone by – where time seemed to stand still amidst verdant landscapes and gentle waters. It serves as a poignant reminder that while progress may have transformed our world since then, there will always be something magical about discovering history's whispers within such treasured snapshots.
