EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in March 1936 in Freeport, Maine, the enigmatic figure known as The Hermit of Maine is seen playing a unique musical instrument that defies conventional description. The Hermit, whose real name was Alonzo Turkington, was a local legend and a recluse who lived in a cabin in the woods, shunning modern conveniences and leading a simple, self-sufficient life. He was known to entertain visitors with his extraordinary musical performances on his homemade instrument, which he called the "F." The F, a marvel of ingenuity and craftsmanship, was unlike any other musical instrument seen before or since. It consisted of a large, hollowed-out log, covered with animal hides and adorned with an intricate arrangement of strings, rods, and levers. The Hermit would strike the strings with mallets, producing a rich, resonant sound that filled the forest air. The photograph captures The Hermit in the midst of a performance, his eyes closed in concentration as he coaxes music from his creation. The woods around him are quiet, save for the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant sound of water flowing in a nearby stream. The image is a testament to the power of creativity and the human spirit to find beauty and meaning in the simplest of things. The Hermit of Maine and his F have become symbols of the unique cultural heritage of Maine and America's rural past. This photograph is a rare glimpse into a bygone era, a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace and the wonders of the natural world were a constant source of inspiration.
