Metal Prints From Royal Cornwall Museum
St Columb Major Church and War Memorial, Cornwall. Around 1925
Glass lantern slide from a lecture, entitled Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots, given by Cornishman and amateur photographer, Major Arthur William Gill, in around 1925. He 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 many cases, colour. These were painted by his own hand to great effect

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque St Columb Major Church and War Memorial in Cornwall, taken around 1925. The image was captured by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer of his time. Major Gill's expertise extended beyond photography as he also delivered lectures on Cornish beauty spots, sharing his stills and cine films with various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. The glass lantern slide used for this particular print adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene. What makes it even more remarkable is that Major Gill personally painted these quarter plate slides with vibrant colors to enhance their visual impact. His artistic touch truly shines through in this photograph. St Columb Major Church stands tall amidst its serene surroundings, exuding an air of tranquility and history. The adjacent war memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by brave individuals during times of conflict.
