EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Malpas Ferry in Cornwall on a sunny day of July 8th, 1912. The scene captures the serene beauty of this riverside location, with Ferryside Cottage and the Ferry House standing proudly against the backdrop of St Michael Penkivel. In the foreground, we see the Leslie ferry boat gently floating just offshore. Licensed to carry eleven passengers, it awaits its next journey across the river. Onshore, a woman and two men are seen by another boat, perhaps preparing for their own adventure on these tranquil waters. One of them could possibly be John Charles Burrow himself, who might have captured this remarkable moment through his lens. As our gaze extends towards the middle distance, we spot L Oiseau Blesse - an elegant pleasure launch gracefully gliding along the river's surface. And if we look even further into the background, three majestic schooners catch our attention; among them is potentially one named English. This extraordinary photograph was skillfully taken by Herbert Hughes and now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. It beautifully encapsulates Edwardian-era charm while showcasing Cornish heritage at its finest – from quaint cottages dotting the landscape to billowing topsails adorning ships sailing down River Fal near Truro
