EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at Tolverne Barton, Philleigh, Cornwall around 1925. The image showcases a man surrounded by his loyal companions - dogs of various sizes and breeds. The man's affectionate gaze towards the dogs suggests a deep bond between them. Tolverne Barton, once an Arundel property, serves as the backdrop for this heartwarming scene. It is evident that Major Arthur William Gill, a Cornishman and amateur photographer, possessed great skill in capturing the essence of historic beauty spots like Tolverne Barton. His passion for photography led him to deliver lectures on "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" during the 1920s and 1930s. Major Gill was highly regarded not only in Cornwall but also beyond its borders. He showcased his stills and cine films to numerous groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and even the London Cornish Society. What makes Major Gill's work truly remarkable is his ability to transform ordinary quarter plate slides into vibrant color images through his own hand-painting technique. This unique touch adds depth and life to each photograph he captured with his ordinary camera. This particular print from Major Arthur William Gill's collection offers us a glimpse into both the past beauty of Tolverne Barton and the extraordinary talent of this renowned photographer from Cornwall.
