EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1960, we are introduced to the enigmatic Tom Kyffin, a 29-year-old Old Etonian and grandson of the late tobacco tycoon Sir Ernest Wills. Living on a barge moored off Cheyne Walk in Chelsea, Tom's unconventional lifestyle is as intriguing as his background. Having served in the Royal Navy before transitioning to the West End Stage, he embodies both adventure and creativity. The image captures Tom's striking presence with his devil mask tattoo adorning his shoulders. This unique ink serves not only as an artistic expression but also as a talisman against the evil eye. It hints at a deeper belief system or perhaps an affinity for mysticism that adds another layer of fascination to this already captivating character. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that Tom Kyffin defies societal norms and embraces individuality wholeheartedly. His choice to reside on a barge reflects his desire for freedom and proximity to nature amidst London's bustling cityscape. This evocative photograph by Heanley M. B. E. D. F. C. , Ted invites us into the world of an extraordinary man who challenges conventions while leaving us curious about what lies beneath that devilish mask tattooed upon his shoulders.
