EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Mr. Whittington of Tillington, a man of distinction from the late Victorian to Edwardian eras. The photograph, part of the Walter Kevis Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref. No: Kevis 1/W375), offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the life and times of this intriguing figure. Mr. Whittington's stern yet thoughtful expression conveys a sense of wisdom and experience, hinting at a life filled with challenges and accomplishments. His well-groomed attire, complete with a crisp shirt, neatly tied cravat, and a formal waistcoat, speaks of a man who took pride in his appearance and adhered to the social norms of the time. The background of the photograph is simple yet effective, with a dark, textured wall serving as an understated backdrop that allows Mr. Whittington's features to stand out. The lighting, too, is expertly done, casting a subtle, warm glow on his face and highlighting the intricacies of his facial hair. The late Victorian and Edwardian eras were marked by significant social, political, and technological changes, and it is fascinating to imagine the world that Mr. Whittington inhabited. Was he a local businessman, a landowner, or perhaps a man of letters? The photograph offers no definitive answers, but it does provide a tantalizing glimpse into the past, inviting us to use our imaginations and fill in the gaps. In conclusion, this portrait of Mr. Whittington of Tillington is a captivating piece of history, a testament to the power of a single image to transport us back in time and spark our curiosity. The Walter Kevis Collection at the West Sussex Record Office is a treasure trove of such gems, and we are grateful for the opportunity to explore and learn from them.
