Blockhouse from estuary at Polruan, Lanteglos by Fowey, 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 captures the majestic Blockhouse from the estuary at Polruan, Lanteglos by Fowey in Cornwall, dating back to around 1925. The image was originally captured on a glass lantern slide by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer of his time. Major Gill was widely recognized for his exceptional presentations of stills and cine films to various esteemed groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society during the 1920s and 1930s. His quarter plate slides were particularly remarkable as he skillfully hand-painted them with vibrant colors that added an extra layer of beauty to each image. The Blockhouse itself stands proudly against the backdrop of the serene estuary, showcasing its historical significance. Majestic and sturdy, it serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage. This particular photograph is not associated with any commercial use but rather represents Major Gill's dedication to capturing and preserving some of Cornwall's most cherished beauty spots. Today, this print from Major Arthur William Gill's collection can be found at the Royal Cornwall Museum where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless charm.
