Poster Prints from Royal Cornwall Museum
Pendennis Castle, Falmouth, 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 Pendennis Castle, located in Falmouth, Cornwall. Taken around 1925 by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer, this glass lantern slide was part of his lecture series titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots". Major Gill's expertise in capturing stills and cine film made him well-known throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s. His presentations were highly sought after by various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. What sets Major Gill's work apart is his meticulous attention to detail. These quarter plate slides were taken with an ordinary camera but transformed into vibrant color images through his skilled hand-painting technique. This personal touch added a unique artistic flair to each photograph. Pendennis Castle stands proudly against the picturesque backdrop of Falmouth's coastal landscape. Its rich history dates back centuries, serving as a defensive stronghold during times of conflict. Majestic towers rise above its stone walls while overlooking the sparkling waters below. This remarkable print not only captures the architectural beauty of Pendennis Castle but also serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's talent for preserving historic landmarks through his lens. It is a true treasure that allows us to glimpse into both Cornwall's past and the skillful artistry behind its preservation.
