Countryside Fishing River Trees Fords
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a serene corner of Cornwall, where a footbridge gracefully spans over a gentle stream. The scene is set in St Mawgan in Pydar, a picturesque village nestled amidst the idyllic Cornish countryside. Three elegant ladies stand proudly on the footbridge, donning their Sunday best attire and exuding an air of sophistication. The significance of this moment is heightened by the presence of a sign hanging on one of the nearby trees. It sternly warns that fishing in this very river is strictly preserved between Halveor and St Mawgan, emphasizing its importance as both a natural resource and recreational activity for locals. Trespassers are cautioned that legal consequences await them if they dare to defy these regulations. The photographer responsible for capturing this timeless image remains unknown, yet their skillful eye has immortalized not only the beauty of nature but also the essence of rural life in Cornwall during that era. The lush greenery surrounding the stream creates an enchanting backdrop while hinting at abundant wildlife thriving within its waters. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we cannot help but be transported back in time to witness these three ladies enjoying a leisurely stroll along this charming footbridge – perhaps embarking on an adventure or simply savoring each other's company amidst nature's splendor.
