EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the esteemed Sir Stephen Tallens engaged in an unexpected activity - setting a mole trap. Despite his prestigious title as a Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, Sir Stephen remains grounded in his love for country pursuits. Taken at his residence, St Johns Jerusalem, nestled in the picturesque Sutton-at-Hone near Dartford, Kent, England on 1st February 1949, this image captures the essence of a true country gentleman. The serene countryside serves as the backdrop to Sir Stephen's determined efforts to tackle a common problem faced by landowners. With his distinguished bald head and expressive eyebrows commanding attention even amidst such humble surroundings, Sir Stephen embodies both authority and humility. His commitment to rural life is evident through every dig into the earth as he expertly sets up the mole trap. Beyond being known for his noble status and dedication to preserving British traditions, it is worth noting that Sir Stephen was also recognized as one of the founders of GPO Film Unit – an accomplishment that further highlights his diverse interests and contributions. This remarkable photograph from TopFoto offers us a glimpse into the private world of an extraordinary individual who defied societal expectations by engaging in hands-on tasks despite holding such high rank. It reminds us that true character lies not only in titles but also in our connection with nature and our willingness to get our hands dirty when necessary.
