Harmony Cottage, Blowing House, Trevellas, near St Agnes, Cornwall. 1920s
Sometimes referred to as Harmony Cot, this house was the birth place of the painter John Opie, in 1761. 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

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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.

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 Harmony Cottage, also known as Harmony Cot, located in Blowing House, Trevellas near St Agnes, Cornwall. The image dates back to the 1920s and was captured by Major Arthur William Gill, a renowned Cornishman and amateur photographer. Harmony Cottage holds historical significance as it served as the birthplace of the esteemed painter John Opie in 1761. Major Gill's glass lantern slide was part of his lecture series titled "Some Historic Cornish Beauty Spots" which he presented to various groups including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society during the 1920s and 1930s. What sets this particular photograph apart is Major Gill's unique artistic touch. He skillfully painted these quarter plate slides with vibrant colors using his own hand. This technique adds an extraordinary effect to each image and brings out its true beauty. The thatched roof of Harmony Cottage stands out prominently in this picture. Its traditional cornish architecture perfectly complements the picturesque surroundings. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage and charm. It is important to note that this caption does not refer to any commercial use or affiliation with a company named "Harmony Cot".
