EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Wadebridge, Cornwall. The exact date of this snapshot remains a mystery, adding an air of intrigue and nostalgia to the scene. Here we witness the picturesque sight of rowing boats gently swaying in the River Camel, their vibrant colors contrasting beautifully against the serene waters. Wadebridge itself has a fascinating history that is intertwined with this very bridge captured in the photograph. Originally known as Wade, it later earned its current name after Reverend Lovibond constructed a magnificent 15th-century bridge across the River Camel. This architectural marvel stretches an impressive 320 feet and boasts seventeen elegant arches. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown, yet their skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail of this enchanting scene. From the charming rowing boats moored along the riverbank to the timeless beauty of Wadebridge's historic bridge, each element invites us to immerse ourselves in Cornwall's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this print, let our imaginations wander through time and space; let us envision what life might have been like for those who once strolled these streets or embarked on leisurely boat rides along these tranquil waters. May this photograph serve as a reminder of how places evolve while still preserving their unique charm throughout centuries gone by.
