EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the "Shadow and Substance" series by Charles H. Bennett, we find Mr. Guy Fox, a fictional character, engrossed in a book with a quill behind his ear. The warm glow of a lantern casts an intriguing shadow upon the wall behind him. But what is that figure, so familiar to history, that emerges from the depths of the shadow? Could it be the notorious Guy Fawkes, the man behind the Gunpowder Plot of 1605? Guy Fawkes, a historical figure, is known for his attempt to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate King James I. He was a member of the Catholic conspiracy to overthrow the Protestant monarchy and restore Catholic rule in England. Fawkes was discovered in the early hours of November 5, 1605, guarding the explosives that were hidden beneath the House of Lords. In Bennett's shadow portrait, the artist masterfully captures the essence of both characters, using the play of light and shadow to create a compelling visual narrative. The addition of a stick of dynamite in the shadow further fuels the intrigue, as it alludes to the infamous plot that made Guy Fawkes a household name. This illustration, created in 1860, is a testament to Bennett's artistic skill and his ability to breathe life into the shadows. The series of shadow portraits, entitled "Shadow and Substance," showcases Bennett's unique approach to storytelling through art, inviting viewers to look beyond the surface and explore the depths of the human imagination.
