The Fifth of November
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant print that takes us back to the 18th century. Engraved by Charles Knight and published by J. F. Tomkins in 1790, this stipple engraving showcases the remarkable talent of Thomas Stothard as he recreates an iconic moment in English history. The image depicts a scene from Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, where a group of children gather around a bonfire on the 5th of November. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as they prepare to light up the night sky with their fiery spectacle. Intricately detailed, Stothard's work captures the innocence and joy of childhood amidst historical significance. The childlike wonder on each face reflects both their fascination with fire and their understanding of the historical event being commemorated. This print serves as a reminder of Guy Fawkes' failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605, an event that has become deeply ingrained in British culture. It symbolizes unity against political oppression while celebrating freedom through tradition. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its cultural importance. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how history intertwines with our everyday lives – reminding us that even centuries later, these traditions continue to shape our collective identity.
