Unknown location in Cornwall. Around 1925
Cornishman and amateur photographer, Major Arthur William Gill, was well known in Cornwall and elsewhere during the 1920s and 1930s for his presentations of stills and cine film to many groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society and the London Cornish Society. The quarter plate slides which he took prolifically with his ordinary camera are, in some cases, painted by his own hand to great effect

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an unknown location in Cornwall around 1925, taken by the talented Major Arthur William Gill. Known for his passion for photography and filmmaking, Major Gill was a well-respected figure in Cornwall during the 1920s and 1930s. His presentations of stills and cine film were highly regarded by various groups, including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. Major Gill's dedication to capturing moments on his ordinary camera is evident in this quarter plate slide. What sets Major Gill apart as an artist is his unique approach to enhancing some of his photographs. In certain cases, he would paint them by hand with great skill and precision, resulting in stunning visual effects that added depth and character to his work. This particular photograph showcases the natural beauty of an unidentified location in Cornwall. Majestic cliffs rise from turquoise waters while sunlight dances upon their rugged surfaces. The composition exudes tranquility and invites viewers to immerse themselves in the timeless charm of this coastal haven. As we admire this remarkable piece from the collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are reminded not only of Major Arthur William Gill's artistic prowess but also of the enduring allure that has made Cornwall a beloved destination for generations.
