EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Young Victorian Brass Player: A Treasured Moment Frozen in Time" This evocative photograph captures the essence of youthful exuberance and musical passion in the form of a young man holding a cornet, taken in October 1890. The image is part of the Walter Kevis Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref. No: Kevis 1/W388). The young man in the portrait wears a collared shirt and a neatly tied bow tie, suggesting a formal occasion. His intense gaze is fixed on the brass instrument he holds, his fingers poised on the valves, ready to produce the next melodic note. The cornet, with its gleaming brass body and intricate engravings, shines brightly against the dark background, drawing the viewer's attention to the young musician. The Victorian era, characterized by its ornate decorative arts and love for music, is beautifully encapsulated in this photograph. The young man's dedication to his craft is evident in the posture he maintains, his body language conveying a sense of pride and accomplishment. The photograph serves as a testament to the importance of music in the lives of people during this period, and the joy and fulfillment it brought to them. This image is a precious reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of Victorian-era musicians and their passion for music. The Walter Kevis Collection, with its wealth of historical photographs, provides us with invaluable insights into the social, cultural, and personal histories of West Sussex and its people. This photograph, in particular, is a treasure trove of information, inviting us to explore the world of music and its role in shaping the lives of young people during the Victorian era.
