EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing the intriguing persona of Old Mr Sadler of Byworth. In August 1898, within the walls of Petworth Hospital, this elderly gentleman was immortalized by a skilled photographer from the Walter Kevis Collection. The image showcases a man who seems burdened with sorrows and carries an air of melancholy. Dressed in traditional Victorian attire, Mr Sadler's appearance reflects both his age and the societal norms of that era. His weathered face tells tales of a life lived long and perhaps filled with hardships. The lines etched across his forehead speak volumes about experiences endured throughout time. While we can only speculate about Mr Sadler's story, it is evident that he possesses an enigmatic aura - one that leaves us yearning to know more about him. Was he simply lost in thought during this moment captured on film? Or did he possess a touch of madness that added depth to his character? Preserved within the West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a reminder not only of our history but also our shared humanity. It invites us to reflect upon the lives led by those who came before us - their joys and struggles alike
