EDITORS COMMENTS
The Implacable, a magnificent sight anchored off Falmouth, Cornwall in the 1920s. This stunning print captures the grandeur of this historic ship, originally built for the French Navy as Douguay Trouin. The image is part of a glass lantern slide from a lecture titled 'Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots' by Major Arthur William Gill, an esteemed Cornishman and amateur photographer. Major Gill was renowned throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s for his presentations of still photographs and cine films to various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. His quarter plate slides were taken prolifically with an ordinary camera but transformed into vibrant color images through his own skilled hand-painting technique. This particular photograph showcases not only Major Gill's artistic talent but also highlights the picturesque River Fal in Cornwall as its backdrop. Majestic cliffs rise on either side while calm waters reflect the ship's imposing presence. It serves as a testament to both naval history and natural beauty that have long captivated visitors to this enchanting region
