Real photo postcard of a nearly nude bearded man seated outdoors with a guitar, posed beside a small structure. The reverse is identified in handwriting as “William Peter Fester Hermit of Palm Springs, Ca.” and includes a photographer imprint for S. H. Willard, Corona, California. The man sits on the ground with the guitar across his lap, surrounded by sand and sparse desert vegetation. A rustic shelter or hut stands behind him, and the setting reads as a desert camp rather than a studio. The postcard is notable for the direct, informal portrait and the detailed later identification written on the reverse. The reverse reads: S. H. Willard, Photo, Corona, Cal. Handwritten inscriptions read: William Peter Fester Hermit of Palm Springs, Ca; He met with celebrities of the 1920’s Chaplin, Valentino etc; German immigrant Shack in Palm Canyon.
