November's Silhouette Calendar: A Scene of Excitement and Fright on Guy Fawkes Night This silhouette print from the 20th century beautifully captures the essence of an age-old tradition, as the shadowy figures of a little boy, two girls, and a dog gather around a bonfire on a chilly November night. The occasion is none other than the commemoration of Guy Fawkes Day, an annual event steeped in history and intrigue. Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, is celebrated on November 5th, marking the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The plot, led by Robert Catesby, aimed to assassinate King James I of England by blowing up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The discovery of the plot and the subsequent execution of its key figures, including Guy Fawkes, led to the establishment of this annual tradition as a way to remember, rejoice, and give thanks for the monarch's survival. In this silhouette, the little boy, holding a firework in his hand, lights the fuse, causing the girls to jump in fear as the firework bursts into a brilliant display of light and sound. Their expressions of fear and delight are a testament to the thrill and danger that has long been associated with Bonfire Night. The dog, too, seems to share in the excitement, its ears perked up and eyes fixed on the spectacle. The silhouette's intricate details, from the girls' flowing dresses to the intricate design of the bonfire, transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in history that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
