Framed Photos from Royal Cornwall Museum
Coverack from across the beach at high tide, 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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque village of Coverack, nestled along the stunning coastline of 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". At high tide, the beach comes alive with crashing waves that beautifully frame the scene. The charming fishing village is dotted with traditional houses that exude timeless charm. Majestic cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop to this idyllic coastal setting. Major Gill's passion for photography and storytelling led him to capture countless moments of natural beauty throughout Cornwall using his ordinary camera. What set him apart was his unique talent for hand-painting these quarter plate slides in vibrant colors, adding an artistic touch to each image. During the 1920s and 1930s, Major Gill became well-known not only in Cornwall but also beyond its borders. He captivated audiences with his presentations of both still photographs and cine films at esteemed institutions such as The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and even the London Cornish Society. This particular photograph transports viewers back in time to experience the serene ambiance and authentic charm that have made Coverack a beloved destination for generations. It serves as a testament to Major Arthur William Gill's dedication to capturing and preserving the historic beauty spots scattered across beautiful Cornwall.
