EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pivotal moment of Guy Fawkes' discovery beneath the House of Lords in London on November 5, 1605. The Gunpowder Plot, a failed assassination attempt against King James I and his government, is one of the most infamous events in British history. The dimly lit chamber of the House of Lords is shown in the background, with a solitary lantern casting an eerie glow on the stone floor. The figure of Serjeant Keeling, the Parliamentary official who made the fateful discovery, is silhouetted against the flickering light. He clutches a lit match in one hand and a bundle of papers in the other, which bear the ominous words "Gunpowder, Treason and Plot." Guy Fawkes, dressed in a cloak and hat, is shown in the foreground, lying in a heap of gunpowder barrels. His face is hidden in the shadows, but his expression is one of shock and disbelief. The barrels, which were intended to bring about the destruction of the House of Lords and the deaths of the King and his Parliament, are now a testament to the plot's failure. The date of this discovery, November 5, would later become a national holiday in Britain, known as Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night. It is celebrated with bonfires, fireworks, and the burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes as a reminder of the failed plot and the preservation of the monarchy. This historical print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and the intrigue of one of Britain's most enduring stories. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance and the consequences of treason.
