EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Presentation cornet, belonging to the 15th Yorkshire (North Riding) Rifle Volunteers Band in 1863. Crafted by J. Higham, a renowned brass instrument manufacturer of his time, this silver plated cornet holds immense sentimental value. The inscription on the cornet reveals that it was presented to George Harrison by the members of the band as a tribute to their esteemed leader. The date, September 24th, 1863, marks an important moment in their shared journey. This stunning musical instrument symbolizes not only their passion for music but also their dedication to serving as volunteers in the army. J. Higham's expertise is evident in this exquisite presentation cornet and it is no surprise that he was listed as a trusted manufacturer for both Army and Navy instruments. His attention to detail shines through with every delicate curve and shimmering surface. This print captures more than just an object; it encapsulates a sense of camaraderie within an organization committed to serving its community. It represents countless hours spent practicing together, marching proudly during ceremonies, and entertaining crowds at celebratory events. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a beautiful musical instrument but also feeling the spirit of unity that binds these dedicated volunteers together.
