EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time to the early 1900s, this print captures the idyllic scene of Malpas Ferry, looking towards Tregothnan landing in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown, yet their lens has immortalized a moment that exudes tranquility and nostalgia. In the foreground of the photograph, we are greeted by a skilled ferryman gracefully rowing his boat across the glistening waters of the Fal River. His presence adds an authentic touch to this snapshot from history, reminding us of simpler times when water transport was essential for connecting communities along Cornwall's picturesque coastline. The focal point of this picture is undoubtedly Ferryside Cottage and Ferry House on the St Michael Penkivel side. Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by charming cottages and houses, these buildings stand as testaments to Cornish architecture and heritage. Their timeless beauty continues to inspire visitors today. As we gaze upon this enchanting view, it becomes evident why Cornwall holds a special place in our hearts. The serene waters of Tresillian merge with the Fal River here at Malpas Ferry – a meeting point where nature's splendor harmonizes with human ingenuity. This extraordinary print from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to relish in moments gone by; it invites us to reflect on how transportation methods have evolved over time while cherishing our connection with both land and water.
