In this print from 1909, we are transported to the lively Bugle Band contest in Bugle, Cornwall. As rain pours down relentlessly, a sea of umbrellas forms a colorful canopy over the heads of dedicated spectators who refuse to let the weather dampen their spirits. The renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this unique moment, freezing it in time for future generations to admire. The image exudes an unmistakable Cornish charm as locals gather together to celebrate their rich musical heritage. Despite the inclement weather, there is an air of excitement and anticipation that permeates through the crowd. The bugles gleam brightly against the gray backdrop, reflecting both tradition and resilience. Each umbrella becomes a symbol of unity and determination as people huddle closely together, sharing laughter and stories while eagerly awaiting each band's performance. It is evident that even amidst rainfall, nothing can deter these devoted music enthusiasts from witnessing this prestigious event. This photograph serves as a testament to the unwavering spirit of Cornwall's residents who find joy even in adverse conditions. It encapsulates not only a historical moment but also embodies the indomitable essence of Cornish culture—a community united by their love for music and undeterred by rain or any other obstacle life may present. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time at Royal Cornwall Museum, we cannot help but feel inspired by these resilient souls who found solace under their trusty umbrellas on that rainy day back in 1909
