The focal point of the image is a distinguished bearded man, exuding an air of wisdom and refinement as he sits comfortably in his chair.

Engrossed in the latest edition of the Sussex Gazette, our subject demonstrates both intellectual curiosity and a deep connection to his local community. The newspaper serves not only as a source of information but also as a symbol of resilience during these tumultuous times amidst World War II.

It is evident that style was paramount even amidst challenging circumstances. Preserved within the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into history. As we admire this portrait, we can't help but wonder about the life experiences that shaped this enigmatic figure's character – what stories lie behind those piercing eyes?
