Sunset over Newquay, 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 showcases a breathtaking sunset over Newquay, Cornwall, taken around 1925 by the talented Major Arthur William Gill. Known as both a Cornishman and an amateur photographer, Major Gill was highly regarded in Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s for his remarkable presentations of stills and cine film to various esteemed groups. The quarter plate slides featured in this collection were captured prolifically by Major Gill using his ordinary camera. What sets these images apart is that some of them have been skillfully painted by his own hand, adding a unique touch that enhances their overall impact. Major Gill's dedication to capturing the beauty of Cornwall shines through in this particular photograph. The vibrant hues of orange and pink streak across the sky as the sun gently dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Newquay's picturesque landscape. The tranquil waters reflect the stunning colors above, creating a harmonious blend between earth and sky. This print not only serves as a testament to Major Gill's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. It transports us back to a time when Newquay exuded its timeless charm and natural splendor. Displayed at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this piece allows viewers to appreciate both Major Gill's photographic prowess and his ability to transform ordinary captures into extraordinary works of art.
