EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a serene moment at Malpas Ferry in Tregothnan landing, Cornwall. The scene unfolds on the tranquil river, where the Malpas Ferry patiently awaits its passengers. Two young ladies stand gracefully by the ferry boat, their elegant dresses billowing slightly in the breeze. Their presence adds a touch of charm to this idyllic riverside setting. In the foreground, we see a man seated in a rowing boat, his gaze fixed upon the photographer who captures this timeless image. His expression suggests curiosity and perhaps even amusement as he observes this fleeting moment frozen forever on film. The surrounding landscape is dotted with quaint houses that line the riverbank, creating an atmosphere of peacefulness and simplicity. The calm waters reflect these picturesque surroundings like a mirror, adding an ethereal quality to the composition. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only a snapshot of daily life but also transports us back to an era when rowboats were essential means of transport along Cornish waterways. This photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable print invites viewers to immerse themselves in nostalgia while appreciating the beauty of Truro's natural landscapes and traditional modes of transportation - all captured within one frame for generations to come.
