EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century and discover the charming scene of King Harry Passage, Feock, Cornwall. This print captures a moment in history before the introduction of the steam-driven chain ferry in 1888. The old-fashioned ferry is moored on the Trelissick side of the river, its wooden hull gently rocking on the water's surface.
As passengers disembark from their journey, carriages are being unloaded with care, while horses are tended to on the bank. The rustic charm of this picturesque setting is enhanced by the presence of a ladder leaning against one of several buildings that line the shore. A sturdy tree stands tall behind them, its branches stretching towards the sky like nature's own work of art.
The photographer has skillfully captured not only the activity but also the tranquility that pervades this idyllic scene. People move about with purpose yet seem unhurried, lost in thought or engaged in quiet conversation as they take in their surroundings. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene, inviting us to step into this bygone era and experience life at a slower pace.
This photograph offers a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history and heritage, transporting us back to an age when life was simpler and more leisurely paced.
