Truro from Boscawen Park, Cornwall. 1920s
View from the north end of the mud flats that were being converted into Boscawen Park, looking towards the cathedral and the gasworks on Lemon Quay. 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 captures the scenic beauty of Truro from Boscawen Park in Cornwall during the 1920s. The view, taken from the north end of the mud flats that were being transformed into Boscawen Park, showcases a picturesque scene with the magnificent cathedral and gasworks on Lemon Quay serving as prominent landmarks. The image was preserved on a glass lantern slide, which was part of 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 to various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society during the 1920s and 1930s. What makes this particular collection unique is that Major Gill hand-painted these quarter plate slides himself to add vibrant colors to his photographs. This personal touch enhances their visual impact and creates a stunning effect. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured by Major Arthur William Gill's lens, we are transported back in time to experience Truro's charm in its early stages. It serves as a testament to both his artistic talent and dedication towards preserving Cornwall's natural splendor for generations to come.
