Coverack from across the beach at high tide, 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 village of Coverack, nestled along the stunning coastline of Cornwall. Taken around 1925 by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer, this glass lantern slide was part of his lecture series titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots". At high tide, the beach comes alive with crashing waves that beautifully frame the scene. The charming fishing village is dotted with traditional houses that exude timeless charm. Majestic cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop to this idyllic coastal setting. Major Gill's passion for photography and storytelling led him to capture countless moments of natural beauty throughout Cornwall using his ordinary camera. What set him apart was his unique talent for hand-painting these quarter plate slides in vibrant colors, adding an artistic touch to each image. During the 1920s and 1930s, Major Gill became well-known not only in Cornwall but also beyond its borders. He captivated audiences with his presentations of both still photographs and cine films at esteemed institutions such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and even the London Cornish Society. This particular photograph transports viewers back in time to experience the serene ambiance and authentic charm that have made Coverack a beloved destination for generations. It serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's dedication to capturing and preserving the historic beauty spots scattered across beautiful Cornwall.
