EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic ruins of Restormel Castle in Lanlivery Parish, Cornwall, around 1925. The castle holds a rich history as it was repaired and garrisoned by the Parliamentary army during the Civil War. However, it was later stormed and taken for the King by Sir Richard Grenville. The image is a glass lantern slide from a lecture titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" given by Major Arthur William Gill, an esteemed Cornishman and amateur photographer. Major Gill gained recognition throughout Cornwall and beyond during the 1920s and 1930s for his presentations of stills and cine film to various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society. What makes this particular photograph even more remarkable is that Major Gill hand-painted these quarter plate slides with vibrant colors to enhance their visual impact. His artistic touch brings out the beauty of Restormel Castle's crumbling walls against a picturesque backdrop. This print not only captures an iconic landmark but also represents Major Gill's dedication to preserving Cornish heritage through his lens. It serves as a testament to his passion for photography and his desire to share historic treasures like Restormel Castle with audiences far and wide.
