EDITORS COMMENTS

Major Gill's expertise extended beyond photography as he skillfully painted these quarter plate slides with vibrant colors to enhance their visual impact. His passion for capturing Cornwall's natural wonders led him to share his work with various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. The photograph not only serves as a window into the past but also pays homage to Major Gill's dedication in preserving Cornish heritage through his artistry. This particular image transports viewers back in time to witness the grandeur of Place House during its heyday.
