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 majestic King Harry Ferry, a historic landmark in Feock, Cornwall. Taken around 1925 from the Tregothnan side of the river, this image is part of a collection of glass lantern slides used by Major Arthur William Gill during his lecture on "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots". Major Gill was not only an amateur photographer but also a proud Cornishman who gained recognition for his presentations throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s. His stills and cine films were eagerly received by various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. What sets Major Gill's work apart is his unique artistic touch. Many of his quarter plate slides were hand-painted with vibrant colors to enhance their visual impact. This meticulous attention to detail adds an extra layer of beauty to each photograph. The King Harry Ferry itself holds great historical significance as it has connected Feock with other parts of Cornwall for centuries. Situated on the River Fal within the picturesque Tregothnan estate, this iconic ferry has played a vital role in local transportation over generations. This particular print captures not just a beautiful scene but also pays homage to Major Arthur William Gill's passion for preserving and sharing Cornish heritage through his remarkable photography skills.
