EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the enchanting Tresillian River in the 1890s. The image captures a serene moment of high tide, where an unidentified sailing craft and a rowing boat gracefully navigate the gentle waters. Renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully freezes this timeless scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its nostalgic beauty. The Tresillian River, nestled in the heart of Cornwall, exudes tranquility and natural splendor. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the cool breeze on our faces and hear the soothing sounds of water gently lapping against wooden hulls. The sailboat's white canvas sails billow elegantly against a backdrop of lush greenery that lines both sides of the riverbank. Intriguingly, this snapshot leaves much to our imagination as it does not reveal any identifiable individuals or specific purpose for their journey along these idyllic waters. Instead, it invites us to ponder upon stories untold – perhaps an afternoon escape from bustling city life or local fishermen seeking their daily catch. As we admire this historical gem captured by Arthur William Jordan's lens, let us transport ourselves back in time and appreciate Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid modernization, there are pockets of serenity waiting to be discovered – just like those found on Tresillian River over a century ago.
