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.55[1]). 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. |
