EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to witness a Bugle Band contest held in the charming village of Bugle, Cornwall. The year is believed to be 1909, an era when community gatherings like these were eagerly anticipated by locals. The image captures a moment filled with excitement and anticipation as a large crowd has gathered to witness this musical spectacle. People of all ages can be seen lining the streets, their faces alive with curiosity and enthusiasm. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the early 20th century - men sporting bowler hats and women donning elegant dresses adorned with intricate lacework. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully frames the scene, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of the event and its intimate details. We can almost hear the distant sound of bugles resonating through our imagination as musicians prepare themselves for their performance. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into Cornish history but also serves as a testament to how music has always been able to bring communities together. It reminds us that even in simpler times, people found solace and joy in shared experiences such as this band contest. Preserved within this print lies an invaluable piece of local heritage - one that continues to inspire future generations by showcasing both cultural traditions and communal spirit at its finest.
