EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Guy Fawkes lantern, dating back to the 17th century. This particular lantern was used by none other than Guy Fawkes himself during the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The image is an illustration taken from "Story of the British Nation, Volume II" by Walter Hutchinson, published in London around the 1920s. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to this artifact, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of treason and rebellion. The lantern's intricate design and Latin inscriptions evoke curiosity about its purpose and meaning. It serves as a powerful reminder of Fawkes' failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5th, also known as Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era filled with political intrigue and religious tensions. The lantern stands as both an artifact and a testament to human determination for change. Credit must be given to Unknown (creator), Walter Hutchinson, and Guy Fawkes for preserving this important piece of history through their contributions. Let us remember that behind every historical event lies individuals who shape our world today.
