Six ladies paddling on the beach, Perranporth Arch Rock, Cornwall. Around 1925
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 captures a delightful scene of six elegant ladies gracefully paddling on the beach at Perranporth Arch Rock in Cornwall, around 1925. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Major Arthur William Gill, a well-known Cornishman and amateur photographer during the 1920s and 1930s. His talent for capturing stills and cine film was highly regarded by various prestigious groups such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. Major Gill's passion for photography shines through in this quarter plate slide, taken with his ordinary camera. Not only did he capture the moment with precision but also added his artistic touch to some slides by hand-painting them to create stunning effects. The serene beauty of Perranporth Arch Rock serves as an idyllic backdrop for these six ladies enjoying their leisurely activity on the beach. Their synchronized movements convey a sense of harmony and joy that resonates even after almost a century since this photograph was taken. This print is not associated with any commercial use but rather represents Major Gill's dedication to preserving moments of natural beauty and human connection through his lens. It stands as a testament to both his skill as an amateur photographer and his love for showcasing Cornwall's picturesque landscapes to captivated audiences across different societies.
