EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque scene of The Green in Truro, Cornwall during the 1920s. On the right side of the image, we can see The Dolphin Inn, distinguished by its carved stone dolphin sign. This historic inn was previously known as The Fighting Cocks and holds significance as it served as the birthplace of Richard Lander in 1804. The charming view extends beyond the inn to reveal the majestic cathedral standing proudly in the background. Its towering presence adds a sense of grandeur to this already beautiful location. The photograph is a glass lantern slide from a lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" presented by Major Arthur William Gill around 1925. Major Gill was an esteemed Cornishman and amateur photographer who gained recognition for his stills and cine film presentations during the 1920s and 1930s. Notably, Major Gill's quarter plate slides were often hand-painted with vibrant colors, showcasing his artistic talent. His passion for capturing Cornwall's natural beauty resonated with various groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and even London Cornish Society. This particular print serves as a testament to Major Gill's skillful craftsmanship and dedication to preserving Cornwall's rich history through visual storytelling. It offers viewers a glimpse into Truro's past while evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times spent admiring nature's wonders on The Green.
