EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to Penperth Creek, a hidden gem nestled on the Philleigh-St Just border of the River Fal in Cornwall. The image captures a serene moment as we gaze towards Turnaware, with its picturesque landscape serving as an idyllic backdrop. In the foreground, boating parties can be seen enjoying their leisurely pursuits, adding a touch of liveliness to this tranquil scene. The rowing boats gracefully glide through the calm waters of Penperth Creek, creating gentle ripples that reflect the beauty of their surroundings. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Arthur William Jordan, whose talent for capturing Cornwall's natural splendor shines through in every detail. His keen eye has immortalized this timeless vista and allowed us to experience a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history. It is worth noting that on the glass plate negative used for printing this photograph, Penperth Creek was spelled as "Penpirth Creek" showcasing how language evolves over time and reminding us of our connection to past generations. As we admire this piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back in time. This snapshot encapsulates both the tranquility and vibrancy that make Cornwall such a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
