EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to the picturesque village of Malpas in Cornwall. As we gaze upon the view, our eyes are drawn towards the Tresillian River, gently meandering through this idyllic landscape. The photographer, unfortunately unknown, has perfectly captured a moment in time that showcases both natural beauty and maritime activity. In the distance, we can see the charming village of Malpas with its quaint cottages nestled along the riverbank. The scene is enlivened by a number of majestic schooners gracefully moored off Malpas, their sails billowing in anticipation of future voyages. It's as if time stands still as these vessels await their next adventure on Cornish waters. However, it is not just grand ships that capture our attention; a rowing boat named "Busybody" steals the spotlight in the foreground. Manned by a man and two children, this humble vessel adds an element of human presence to this serene setting. Perhaps they are local fishermen or simply enjoying a leisurely day out on these tranquil waters. As we delve into this historical photograph at Royal Cornwall Museum, we find ourselves transported back to an era when rivers were highways and boats were essential for transportation and trade. This image serves as a reminder of how waterways played an integral role in shaping communities like Malpas and fostering connections between people across Cornwall's beautiful landscapes.
