Entrance doorway to Lanherne Convent, 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 entrance doorway to Lanherne Convent, located in Cornwall around 1925. The image was captured by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer of the early 20th century. Known for his expertise in still photography and cine film, Major Gill frequently presented his works to various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. The glass lantern slide from Major Gill's lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" offers a glimpse into the remarkable beauty of Lanherne Convent during that era. What sets this particular photograph apart is its vibrant colors - something quite rare for images taken with an ordinary camera at that time. Major Gill skillfully hand-painted these quarter plate slides to enhance their visual impact. Lanherne Convent's entrance doorway stands as a testament to both architectural splendor and historical significance. Majestic yet inviting, it beckons visitors into a world steeped in tradition and spirituality. This print not only captures the physical grandeur of the convent but also serves as a window into Cornwall's rich cultural heritage. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this stunning piece allows us to appreciate Major Arthur William Gill's talent for capturing moments frozen in time while showcasing some of Cornwall's most treasured landmarks.
