EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Loe Pool in Helston, Cornwall during the 1920s. The glass lantern slide is a relic from Major Arthur William Gill's lecture on "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" where he showcased his remarkable talent as an amateur photographer and Cornishman. Major Gill was widely recognized and admired throughout Cornwall and beyond for his exceptional presentations of stills and cine film. His passion for capturing the essence of Cornwall's natural wonders shines through in this image. Loe Pool holds a significant historical connection, as it served as the final resting place for a 64 gun frigate wrecked in 1782. What sets Major Gill apart is not only his skill behind the camera but also his artistic touch. Using quarter plate slides, he meticulously painted each one by hand to bring out vibrant colors that truly enhance the visual experience. This attention to detail adds depth and richness to his photographs, making them even more captivating. Although this print is not associated with any commercial use or company, it serves as a testament to Major Gill's dedication to preserving Cornwall's heritage through his lens. It stands as a reminder of both the natural beauty found within Loe Pool and Major Arthur William Gill's invaluable contribution to documenting Cornwall's history for generations to come.
