EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the picturesque Calenick Creek, this print captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken in the early 1900s by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, it offers a glimpse into Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and leisurely pastimes. The scene unfolds from Brabyns Boat House, offering an idyllic vantage point over Calenick Creek. The tranquil waters glisten under the warm sunlight as small boats gracefully navigate their way through its gentle currents. Each vessel tells its own story, showcasing the distinct craftsmanship of Victorian and Edwardian boatbuilding - from elegant carvel to sturdy clinker designs. Amidst this serene setting stands a woman at the water's edge, her presence adding a touch of human connection to this timeless snapshot. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, evoking nostalgia for an age when life moved at a slower pace. This print is more than just an image; it serves as a portal into history and invites us to explore Cornwall's maritime roots. It transports us back to simpler times when boating on Calenick Creek was not only a means of transportation but also an opportunity for leisurely exploration and relaxation. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate our ancestors' connection with nature and their appreciation for craftsmanship. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements, there is value in embracing traditions that have shaped our cultural identity.
