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. |
