Copy of an oil painting by a Matlock Bath artist

Boating has long been a pastime in Matlock Bath. "On a fine summer evening, many parties go to regale themselves with a sail, and loiter on the waters sometimes to a late hour" (Adam, p.55 [footnote]1). "A sail by moonlight is deeply interesting" (ibid, p.551).

This postcard is from an oil painting by Henry Hadfield Cubley, an artist who lived in Matlock Bath at the beginning of the twentieth century. This version is a Christmas Greeting and was sent from Redruth by J and W Menhennet to a Miss Martin in Penzance on 23 Dec 1905.
