EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in vibrant hues, this timeless photograph showcases the elegant couple, William and Ada Gill, basking in the sun-drenched garden of their beloved Comprigney House. The year is before 1916, a poignant reminder that their happiness would soon be overshadowed by tragedy. Major Arthur William Gill skillfully immortalizes his parents' love and grace through this full-color slide. Seated comfortably on a classic Cornish deckchair, William Nicholas Gill exudes an air of quiet authority. His distinguished presence is complemented by his impeccable attire – a tailored suit that speaks to his refined taste and status within society. Beside him sits Ada Gill (nee Branwell), radiating warmth and beauty in her delicate dress adorned with intricate floral patterns. Surrounded by nature's splendor, the couple finds solace amidst blooming flowers that mirror their own blossoming affection. Their serene expressions suggest contentment as they enjoy each other's company against the backdrop of Truro's picturesque landscape. Yet behind this idyllic scene lies an untold story of loss. In 1916, fate would cruelly snatch away William Nicholas Gill from Ada's embrace forevermore. This photograph serves as both a cherished memento and a testament to enduring love – capturing not only Major Arthur William Gill's artistic talent but also preserving precious memories for generations to come. Displayed at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers into the lives of these remarkable individuals while honoring their legacy without commercial intent.
