EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print capturing the Malpas Ferry underway on a sunny day in Cornwall, dated 8th July 1912. The image offers a picturesque view of the Tresillian River, off Malpas, showcasing the bustling transport and communication scene of Edwardian-era Cornwall. In this delightful snapshot, we see the ferryman skillfully maneuvering the boat using a quant pole while six passengers enjoy their journey across the river. On the right side of the frame, we catch sight of L'Oiseau Blesse, an elegant pleasure launch adding to the charm of this idyllic setting. The shallows are dotted with various dinghies gently moored as they await their next adventure on these peaceful waters. Photographed by Herbert Hughes, this remarkable piece allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era where creeks and rivers served as vital arteries for transportation and connectivity. Truro's St Michael Penkivel is beautifully showcased through its vibrant waterways that were once teeming with life and activity. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum provides an enchanting glimpse into Cornish history without mentioning any commercial use. It serves as a testament to our rich maritime heritage and reminds us of simpler times when boats gracefully sailed along these scenic waters.
