Fowey, Cornwall. Around 1925
Church seen from street above. 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 town of Fowey in Cornwall, taken around 1925. The image captures a stunning view of the local church as seen from a street above. This particular print is a glass lantern slide that was used during Major Arthur William Gill's lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots". Major Gill, an esteemed Cornishman and amateur photographer, gained recognition for his presentations of stills and cine films during the 1920s and 1930s. His lectures were well-received by various groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. What makes this photo even more remarkable is that Major Gill personally hand-painted many of his quarter plate slides to add vibrant colors to his images. These artistic touches enhanced the visual impact of his photographs and left a lasting impression on viewers. The Royal Cornwall Museum proudly houses this extraordinary piece showcasing Fowey's timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's dedication to capturing and sharing the historic charm found throughout Cornwall.
