Pengersick Castle, Breage, 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 majestic Pengersick Castle, nestled in the picturesque village of Breage, Cornwall. Taken around 1925 by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer, this glass lantern slide was part of his acclaimed lecture series titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots". Major Gill's expertise in capturing stills and cine film earned him great recognition throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s. His quarter plate slides were particularly remarkable as they featured vibrant colors meticulously hand-painted by his own skilled hands. The image transports us back to a time when Pengersick Castle stood proudly against the stunning backdrop of Cornish beauty. Its ancient stone walls exude an air of mystery and history that has captivated visitors for centuries. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we can almost feel the salty sea breeze from nearby Praa Sands caressing our faces. The tranquil atmosphere invites us to imagine knights roaming these grounds or perhaps lovers finding solace within its hallowed halls. This print is not just a visual delight but also a testament to Major Gill's passion for preserving Cornwall's heritage through his artistic lens.
