EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures the enigmatic figure of John Bigg, known as "The Hermit." A former lawyer's clerk during the Commonwealth era, Bigg took a drastic turn in his life when the monarchy was restored. Feeling morose and disillusioned with society, he chose to retreat into a solitary existence.
Bigg's decision to become a hermit may seem odd or eccentric by today's standards, but it was not uncommon for individuals in that time period to seek alternative lifestyles. His patched clothes and unkempt appearance reflect his rejection of conventional norms and desire for isolation.
Despite his reclusive nature, Bigg's story is steeped in history and intrigue. Living from 1629 to 1696, he witnessed significant political changes and upheavals in England. His choice to live apart from society speaks volumes about the impact of those events on individuals' lives.
In this image, we see Bigg standing alone in a garden setting, holding a fork - perhaps symbolizing his self-sufficiency and independence. The paranormal aura surrounding him adds an air of mystery to his already enigmatic persona.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image but a glimpse into the life of John Bigg - a man who defied societal expectations and carved out his own unique path in history.
