EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Walter Kevis Collection showcases PC Welch, a dedicated policeman stationed in Midhurst during the late 19th to early 20th century. The image was expertly captured by renowned photographer Walter Keviss at his studio between 1876 and 1908. In this striking portrait, PC Welch stands tall and proud, donning his meticulously tailored Victorian police uniform. Every detail of his attire exudes nostalgia, transporting us back to an era when law enforcement embodied honor and integrity. The crisp lines of his jacket, adorned with polished buttons, complement the immaculate fit of his trousers. A sturdy belt cinches around his waist while a gleaming badge proudly displays his authority. PC Welch's stern yet composed expression hints at the challenges he faced as a guardian of justice in those times. His eyes reflect determination and resilience that were essential qualities for maintaining order amidst societal changes. This photograph is not just a mere depiction; it encapsulates an important chapter in West Sussex's history. Preserved within the archives of West Sussex Record Office under reference number Kevis 1/W197, it serves as a testament to the dedication and commitment exhibited by individuals like PC Welch who served their communities selflessly. As we gaze upon this remarkable studio portrait today, we are reminded of how far our society has progressed while cherishing the legacy left behind by these valiant men who wore their uniforms with pride and protected our streets with unwavering courage.
