Rose Cottage, St Clement, Cornwall. Around 1925
The thatched Rose Cottage in St Clement. The church tower and other cottages are visible in the background. Cornishman and amateur photographer, Major Arthur William Gill, 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 some cases, painted by his own hand to great effect

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the charming Rose Cottage in St Clement, Cornwall, circa 1925. The thatched roof of the cottage exudes a rustic and picturesque appeal, perfectly complemented by the backdrop of the church tower and neighboring cottages. This remarkable image was captured by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer of his time. Major Gill's talent for still photography and cine film presentations made him widely recognized throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s. His contributions to various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and London Cornish Society were highly regarded. Using an ordinary camera with quarter plate slides, Major Gill prolifically documented scenes from everyday life in Cornwall. What makes some of these images truly exceptional is that he personally enhanced them through delicate hand-painting techniques. These artistic touches added depth and beauty to his already impressive photographs. This particular photograph captures not only the architectural beauty but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of St Clement village. It serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's dedication to preserving moments in time through his lens while showcasing his artistic prowess.
