EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Surrey Hermit can see Royal Prince" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a moment in time between the wars. The image showcases the enigmatic figure known as The Frensham Hermit outside his humble shack. His weathered face and tattered clothing tell tales of a life lived on the fringes of society. The hermit's gaze is fixed upon something beyond our view, perhaps catching sight of an elusive visitor - a royal prince. This juxtaposition highlights the stark contrast between two worlds: one characterized by opulence and privilege, represented by the prince; and another marked by solitude and simplicity, embodied by this solitary hermit. It is intriguing to ponder what thoughts might have occupied the hermit's mind during that encounter - did he long for connection with society or find solace in his chosen seclusion? As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of how individuals from different walks of life intersected even amidst turbulent times. Tragically, this poignant image also serves as a memorial to The Frensham Hermit who passed away in March 1922. His death marks not only the end of an era but also symbolizes the fading away of unconventional lifestyles that once dotted our landscapes. Preserved meticulously over time, this TopFoto print allows us to glimpse into an extraordinary existence while reflecting on themes such as identity, societal norms, and human resilience. It invites us to contemplate our own place within
