Restormel, Lanlivery Parish, 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 beauty of Restormel in Lanlivery Parish, Cornwall, around 1925. The image was captured by Major Arthur William Gill, a Cornishman and talented amateur photographer who gained recognition for his stunning presentations of stills and cine film during the 1920s and 1930s. Major Gill's lecture series titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" became highly popular among various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. His quarter plate slides were particularly remarkable as they featured vibrant colors meticulously hand-painted by Major Gill himself. In this particular photograph, Restormel shines with its timeless charm. Majestic hills surround a quaint village nestled amidst lush greenery. The tranquil river meandering through the landscape adds to the idyllic atmosphere that has captivated visitors throughout history. The glass lantern slide transports us back in time to witness Cornwall's natural splendor as seen through Major Gill's artistic lens. It serves as a testament to his dedication in capturing and preserving the region's historic beauty spots for generations to come. This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum not only offers a glimpse into Lanlivery Parish's past but also pays homage to Major Arthur William Gill's significant contribution to documenting and sharing Cornwall's rich heritage with audiences near and far.
