EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lanherne Convent, located in St Mawgan in Pydar, Cornwall. Taken around 1925 by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer, this glass lantern slide was part of his lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots". The image transports us back to a time when the Nunnery, a magnificent Tudor house that once served as the manor house of the Arundells, became home to Carmelite nuns seeking refuge from the French Revolution. The convent's rich history is beautifully captured through Major Gill's lens. Major Gill was widely recognized for his presentations of stills and cine film during the 1920s and 1930s. His passion for photography led him to take countless quarter plate slides with his ordinary camera. What makes these slides truly remarkable is that many of them were hand-painted by Major Gill himself, resulting in stunning color effects. This particular photograph not only highlights the architectural beauty of Lanherne Convent but also serves as a testament to Major Gill's talent and dedication as an amateur photographer. It offers us a glimpse into Cornwall's past while showcasing its historic landmarks with great detail and artistry
