EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fifth of November 1611 (c1902) captures the intense atmosphere of Bonfire Night in seventeenth-century England. This engraving, taken from Cassells Illustrated History of England, volume III, transports us back to a pivotal moment in British history. In this scene, a vast crowd has gathered around a towering bonfire, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames. The people hold torches high above their heads as they commemorate the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. It was on this night that Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in an act of treason against King James I. The print evokes a sense of unity and defiance as the citizens come together to celebrate their country's resilience against such acts. The intricate details captured by the unknown creator allow us to witness every individual's expression: some filled with awe at the spectacle before them, others wearing masks or holding effigies representing Guy Fawkes himself. This historical artwork serves as a reminder not only of one specific event but also reflects upon centuries-old traditions that still endure today. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from over a century ago, we are reminded that even amidst darkness and treachery, light can prevail.
