EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing an exhibition of Guys at the Alexandra Palace in November 1881. The image depicts a number of intricately crafted Guys that were to be burnt across England at bonfire parties on Guy Fawkes Night, which falls on the 5th of November each year.
The detailed engraving allows us to see the variety and creativity that went into creating these effigies, with each one telling its own unique story. From traditional representations of Guy Fawkes himself to more abstract and imaginative designs, these Guys were sure to captivate audiences at the exhibition.
The Alexandra Palace served as the perfect backdrop for this display, with its grand architecture adding an air of sophistication to the event. Visitors would have been able to marvel at these works of art before they were set ablaze in celebration of Guy Fawkes Night.
As we look back on this piece of history captured in print, we are reminded of the traditions and customs that have been passed down through generations in England. It serves as a reminder of how even simple events like bonfire parties can hold deep cultural significance and bring communities together in shared celebration.
