EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1949, we see the esteemed Sir Stephen Tallens proudly displaying his unique fashion statement. Wrapped around his shoulders is a mosesk, a luxurious stole made entirely from moles that he personally caught and skinned in the meadows surrounding his grand residence at St Johns Jerusalem in Sutton-at-Hone, near Dartford, Kent. Despite being a Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George and an alumnus of Baliol College, Sir Stephen's love for country pursuits shines through. His bald head and distinguished eyebrows add to his charm as a true country gentleman of the era. This snapshot not only captures Sir Stephen's eccentric style but also showcases his resourcefulness and dedication to craftsmanship. The fur wrap serves as a testament to his skills as both hunter and furrier. It is worth noting that this image was taken by Personalities, an iconic photography agency known for capturing candid moments of notable figures during the mid-20th century. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the life of one such personality who embraced individuality even within traditional circles. As we admire this intriguing piece of history, let us appreciate Sir Stephen Tallens' audacity to challenge societal norms while remaining rooted in timeless elegance.
