EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque St Ives harbour in Cornwall, circa 1925. The image features a cluster of fishing boats peacefully docked in the harbor, their vibrant colors contrasting against the serene blue waters. Boat registrations SS67, SS154,69SS, and SS75 can be seen proudly displayed on these vessels. The photograph is a glass lantern slide from an enlightening lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" delivered by Major Arthur William Gill. A proud Cornishman and amateur photographer during the 1920s and 1930s, Major Gill was renowned for his presentations of both still images and cine films to various esteemed groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. Major Gill's talent extended beyond capturing moments through his ordinary camera; he also possessed a remarkable skill for hand-painting quarter plate slides with vivid colors. This artistic touch added depth and brought these historical scenes to life in breathtaking fashion. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this particular print offers viewers a glimpse into the rich maritime heritage that has long defined St Ives. It serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's passion for preserving history through his lens while showcasing some of Cornwall's most enchanting beauty spots.
