Hell Bay, Bryher in a storm, Isles of Scilly, 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 raw power and beauty of Hell Bay, Bryher in a storm, located in the Isles of Scilly, 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 during the 1920s and 1930s. His presentations were highly sought after by various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. What makes this particular image truly remarkable is that it was hand-painted by Major Gill himself. Using vibrant colors to enhance the scene's dramatic atmosphere, he skillfully brought out every detail - from the crashing waves against rugged cliffs to ominous clouds looming overhead. The quarter plate slides used for this photograph were taken prolifically with Major Gill's ordinary camera. Despite their small size, these color slides showcase his talent for capturing not only moments frozen in time but also evoking emotions through his artistic interpretation. This stunning print serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's passion for preserving Cornwall's natural wonders while showcasing his exceptional skills as both a photographer and painter. It stands as a timeless reminder of the untamed beauty found within Hell Bay and its enduring allure throughout history.
