A postcard of Matlock from a painting by Henry Hadfield Cubley, dated 1903. Cubley lived in Matlock Bath for a quite number of years and painted many local scenes. Smedley's Hydro and the chimney of its boiler house are unmistakable in this picture. Perhaps the people he has included are his wife and one of his daughters, or both his daughters, as he has made them as equally important as the Hydro in his composition, if not more so, as the eye is immediately drawn to the red dress. Also see Old Matlock, which includes three figures.

The card was posted at Ryde, IOW, on 15 Mar 1906 and sent to Mrs. Sutton of Ryde by her sister Emma. The message is unconnected to Matlock.
The postcard had the usual side bar for the card's title and message that was part of all postcards produced in the first decade of the twentieth century but has been omitted to present a slightly larger image.
